Thank you very much! My first "dark age" occurred back in the 70's between
the ages of 5 and 8. My reintroduction came with set 924/987, so Classic
Space has naturally always been a favorite theme.

Again, thank you! But the punchline is that the represented ships are
constructed entirely of MegaBlok elements. Many, such as the 1x1 round
plate and the 1x3 plate have direct LEGO analogs, but the intent of my
little diversion was to build Classic LEGO-esque ships with only MB parts
that I actually own.
There will be more to follow...

My view is that non-clone-fans are the people who leave more product on the
shelves for me to purchse, and that's just fine with me!
Obviously the choice to purchase or not to purchase is up to the individual.
Some people will claim that Bionicle is as cool and versatile as LEGO
System, but I'm not able to see it that way, due to issues of quality and
compatibility. Likewise, some people make the same complaint of clone
brands. Say-la-vee!
Dave!
