While perusing Ebay doing a search for "Lego Space" I came across these misplaced items. None of these have any bids as of this posting. NOTE: I have absolutely nothing to do with these auctions, except to point out a couple of bargains to people who otherwise might not of seen them due to a bit of ignorance (okay, lack of knowledge) on the seller's part. "LEGO Built-Up "Space" Type Vehicle" http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=264599259 Is really an incomplete 6175 Crystal Explorer Sub (no figs that I could determine). Current bid: $10 No. of bidders: 0 Ends: 2/26 "LEGO Built-Up "Space" Vehicles" (yes, another one) http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=264599267 Is really an incomplete 6879 Blizzard Baron (with 1 fig, no helmet), although it might be complete, but the satellite thingy looks different that what Lugnet showed so I don't know. Current bid: $12 No. of bidders: 0 Ends: 2/26 "Lego Space Police Set,lots of parts & People" http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=266853441 Is really: one Space Police2 fig, no headgear; one Blacktron2 fig w/ helmet, visor, and incomplete vehicle (sorry, too jumbled of a pic for me to tell which set (6851) maybe, and (I don't really want to mention this because I want it, but...) part of an 8064 Motorized Universal set with long red beams, motor (apparently), and battery box. At least I think it's an 8064--I looked at every ##@$!#$! car, chassis, engine, truck, and motor set on Pause and Technica until I found found one with the right color beams & battery box*. Current bid: 9.99 No. of bidders: 0 Ends: 2/26 For anybody who is interested in bidding on these, you may thank Scrooge, er, my loverly, loverly wife who will not let me have any more money until payday. <g> Good hunting, Brian (bbq) Sauls (*I found it on Technica-- http://w3.one.net/~hughesj/technica/index/8000/8064.html The baja buggy is partially built)

Brian, (...) Hmmm.. I think it would have been better labeled Aquazone, but the seller probably doesn't know what it is. (...) Well, last time I checked, Ice Planet 2002 was a Space theme.

(...) Brian, Thanks for pointing me to this. I saw it initially on Ebay, you made me go back and get it. It just arrived, I think it has the 8064, but I'm not sure if it works. I don't have a multimeter at work so I can't start troubleshooting it. I (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
