Yes, it is time again for another auction. I'm calling this one
"Space Case" as I have been in the ozone for the last month or so
with computer troubles. Anyhow, all that should be fixed now.
Following is a list of the sets that will be in this auction. You
will notice that some of them are quite old (1981) and some are of
a more recent vintage (1992). All of the sets are complete, in
used condition and have the original instuctions. There are no boxes.
Following this list is an annotated list of the sets. Pictures of
the sets can be found on Lugnet (www.lugnet.com). The auction
rules follow the annotations.
If you have any questions or want to be placed on the bidders list
please email me at: tinney@portal.ca. mailto:tinney@portal.ca

ANNOTATIONS:
1462 Galactic Scout
Here's a little scooter for the cadets. This petite scooter
provides an agile mount for quick trips around the base. No doubt
it has a great klicks to gram of plutonium ratio but it wouldn't be
what I took on a long jaunt. Regardless, it is a tidy little set and
packs a mint mini-fig to boot.
1620 Astro Dart
Here's another cadet trainer, a small flier which leaves the pilot
well exposed. Suitable for short range skirmishes and recon flights
this kit wouldn't stand up to heavy fire - and it's seen none, it's
in great shape.
1621 Lunar MPV Vehicle
Here's a friendly little explorer, there's only two barrels that
could be mistaken for armament. There are 4 nice big wheels in
great shape on this mid-size tractor, the great 5 stud 1x1 robot
head and the classic space decaled mini-fig complete this nice
little explorer.
1974 Star Quest
Another small scooter for the cadets, this one is for basic weapons
(er...probing) training and low gravity VTOL aspects. The nicest
feature of this design is the four radial thusters mounted under
the flying platform. This set shows no sign of abuse or yellowing.
6750 Light & Sound Sonic Robot
This is a pretty generic Light & Sound kit with some good elements.
Aside from the L & S pieces there are two fairly long articulated
arms, some dayglo yellow hoses and some nice trans bits. The mini-
figs, lights and trans elements are all in good shape.
6770 Light & Sound Magma Carrier
A nice large communications truck with the L & S elements for show.
This kit has several large round antennas, 6 medium sized wheels and
a classic yellow mini-fig - all in good shape.
6780 Light & Sound XT - Starship
This is a very original looking model, lots of special elements give
this ship a very futuristic look. The lights work and the set is in
overall great shape. As with most L & S sets there are lots of trans
elements to catch the shine.
6803 Space Patrol
Here is another mid range flier, equipped with two small forward
facing probing elements. A basic design with some classic appeal.
The two blue antenna elements are pretty cool. Overall this set is
in great shape with some faint yellowing.
6804 Surface Rover
This is budget transportation for the lunar prospector. One small
turbine on the back and all the room a single seater can provide.
This set is in fine shape although the turbine 'ate' a blade and
there is some damage to the fins.
6808 Galaxy Trekker
Here's the budget lunar flyer, lots of exploring on a mere 3 grams
of uranium. A petite set that features a mint mini-fig, two wing
elements and two black flex hoses.
6810 Laser Ranger
This is a nice little space ship. No large trans element to coop
up the pilot, he or she has an open view of the sky. Again the
scientists sport formidable forward facing probes and there's a nice
tidy twin thuster to provide the boost. There is some mild yellowing
on this set, the mini-fig is not affected.
6813 Galactic Chief
In space, no-one can hear you double-park... check again dull star,
here is the Space Police version of the Cushman complete with an
argumentative officer. It actually is a nice little kit and you
could argue that it's in the genetic lineage of the Hovertron! It's
in good shape and may be a great way to get a SP minifig in excellent
condition.
6814 Ice Tunnelator
Here's an ice rover for one. The ATV meets the arctic with this kit,
4 large white wheels provide ample traction on the icy plains in
space. The trans orange skis and ubiquitous ice blade are in mint
condition.
6822 Space Digger
Here's a little working scooter for the lunar works yard. A tidy
little kit with a small articulated arm on the rear, 4 small
turbine pieces and 2 of the three-way speaker/antenna pieces in black.
The mini-fig is in great overall shape.
6823 Surface Transport
I imagine this is how my father thought he'd spend his retirement:
"Never know where those Apollo fellers might have dropped a dime"
OK, perhaps it's rare precious mineral reserves that this explorer
is after but he's in good shape with a mint space suit and helmet.
The wheels on his explorer have seen little wear, overall the set
is in great condition.
6825 Patrol Craft
This guy is running open headers across the sparse lunar expanses,
check out the yellow pipes feeding the exhaust from the low slung
power plant back to the hi-profile thrusters. All the trans pieces
and the all-important mini-fig are in great shape.
6832 Super Nova II
This is a nice little kit, a small sleek cruiser for one. The larger
thruster component allows for 'over the horizon' jaunts on most Terra
class planets. This entire set is in great shape.
6834 Celestial Sled
The snowmobile of the future here. This speedy ground based recon
vehicle sports a large trans orange antenna, 4 long white skis and a
mint Ice Planet mini-fig. All in great shape.
6846 Tristar Voyager
Perhaps I miss my guess but those are pretty lethal looking 'probes'
on this little 'Voyager'. I think this little red mini-fig has been
kicking some Mega-Block butt. In this case he's been pretty successful
because his ship is still in mint condition and there's hardly a
scratch on his outfit either.
6847 Space Dozer
Looks like the lunar lycanthrope drops yellow biscuits! Here's the
set to keep the moon tidy. Our hero (in resplendent canary) pilots a
4 wheeled scooper (sporting two tidy tailward turbines) over the lunar
surface in search of treasure. This set is in great shape, mini-fig
is sound as are the smaller decoration pieces.
6851 Tri-wheeled Tyrax
Apparently the Blackton guys found a cache of old VW rear-ends in deep
space and couldn't resist putting together a trike. The classic black
and green is piled on to provide the deep space look and three medium
sized wheels are affixed to provide the suspension over the silken
sand terrain. This set is all in good shape.
6852 Sonar Security
Space Police on patrol again, luckily for us the Terran equivalent
don't yet need to lug missles around for crowd control! Classic SP
colouring, the speciality pieces are all in good shape.
6861 X-1 Patrol Craft
Check out the pipes on this scooter. Seems like at least one mini-
fig gets his smile from heavy g's. Two large and nicely detailed
thrusters power this hi-performance lunar flyer. All the pieces are
in great condition and the mini-fig is mint.
6870 Space Probe Launcher
Here's a fun plan, drive out to the nearest crater and launch your-
self into the emptiness of space from the back of your vehicle. This
is a classic space set, utilitarian grey, retro wheels and a sparse
yet funtional ship. All in great shape.
6875 Hovercraft
This little support fighter sports twin turrets each with 50Kwatts of
mono-chromatic 'probing' power, sure to 'probe' any excited aliens
into submission. All the speciality pieces are there in this set and
the trans blue cockpit cover is in great shape.
6879 Blizzard Baron
Ice Planet speeder for one, low miles, driven by elderly geologist
to and from the terminal morraine of the K3 glacier on Hoth. Need a
trans orange fix, get this set. All the orange is there, and in good
shape, mini-fig is mint.
6885 Crater Crawler
Haul your probing package deep over the dust plains of deepest space
with this rugged hauler. Both sets of wheels are in good shape as are
all the trans elements. The mini-fig is sound and the four small
round antenna pieces are present.
6886 Galactic Peace Keeper
It's the Law! This axiom still rings true in space (despite the
vacuum) and Lego is happy to provide the force. Here is a muscular
looking space vehicle for the police to use. The trans orange and
trans red elements are all included and this set is in great shape.
6889 Recon Robot
There's nothing of the friendly helpful robot in this kit, here we
have a large menacing black and red robot backing up a 'determined'
mini-fig. Aside from the numerous hinges used in constructing the
arms there are a few plane rudder elements in this kit and lots of
hi-tech deco pieces. This set is in good shape with no wear on the
deco.
6890 Cosmic Cruiser
Yup, the two-scooter garage has hit space. He's got a sporty little
number with three under-slung thrusters while she gets a larger luxury
model for handling the longer run to the particle accelarator.
There's some yellowing on the white elements but overall this set is
in great shape.
6895 Spy-Trak I
The local Space Police Riot Squad use this truck to intimidate unruly
collections of the 'locals'. An aggressive looking truck with a long
angular nose section and huge open wheels looks pretty sharp. The
trans and deco pieces are all in good shape. The mini-fig is also
mint.
6898 Ice-Sat V
There's some nice features on this kit, a missle attached by magnet to
an articuluted arm, 8 medium sized white wheels and plenty of smaller
decorative pieces. The trans orange pieces are all in good shape and
the mini-fig is excellent.
6926 Mobile Recovery Vehicle
This is a nice large-wheeled lunar exporer. The trans yellow pieces
are in good shape and the large format wheels are in excellent shape.
Both mini-figs are in excellent condition and all accessories are
included.
6927 All-Terrain Vehicle
Classic communications base with two grey antenna, two classic
mini-figs and a cool low-slung 6-wheeled transport. This is a nice
looking set and all the elements are in great shape.
6929 Starfleet Voyager
This is a big ship in the classic mold. Lots of grey, the basic
engine elements and the low profile cockpit are all great features
of this set. All the deco and trans pieces are included and in good
shape.
6933 Spectral Starguider
This is the big blacktron transport, suitable for hauling satellites
to remote launching stations. The six large wheels and the hexagonal
trans window elements give this set a great hi-tech but rugged look.
The mini-figs wheels and trans pieces are in great shape.
6950 Mobile Rocket Transport
When you need a big mobile launcher, look no further!
Whether you're looking to launch a deep space probe or deliver a
megaton missile to the nearest Mega Bloks munnitions dump this is
the kit to call. Large tractor with the big aggressively treaded
tires will level the lunar lumps and pack the big booster to a launch
window near you. This is a nice old kit with plenty of current
appeal, the big tires and classic grey elements are in good shape as
are the trans yellow command seat windows.
6951 Robot Command Center
The roving lunar laboratory, several key pieces are included with this
set: the large blue hinged bins, blue articulated arms and a load of
deco pieces. This set is in excellent shape, the deco pieces are almost
without flaw and the mini-figs are like new.
6971 Intergalactic Command Base
Very large space station, featuring several large satellite dishes,
two small ships, a missle and 2 count'm 2 cratered base plates. The
small red satellite dishes are in good shape as are the large trans
yellow plates. There are a bunch of blue window frames in this set.
6981 Ariel Intruder
Here's where the Apache chopper is heading. This set features a
medium large spaceship which transports two small transports. There
are two menacing control pods hanging from the top-mounted 'wings'.
All of the trans pieces, deco pieces and mini-figs are in great shape.
6983 Ice Station Odyssey
Dayglo orange on parade! Here's a well fortified base for any frozen
outback, complete with two missles (one with silo), two works vehicles
and a dark blue Canada arm (slight nationalistic plug ;-)). The large
orange elements are in good shape, all the decal pieces are accounted
for and overall this set is in great condition.
6988 Alpha Centuri Outpost
The boyz in black have got a toe-hold on some planet here. There's a
large base complete with landing pad, medium sized shuttle and a large
communications array. The five (5) mini-figs are in good shape as are
all of the trans elements. There's a ton of small detail pieces on this
set AND lights!
