What defines "completeness" within a theme?
Despite rating the theme a meagre 5/10, I am theoretically
"complete" in Space Port. However......
There is a value pack set, number 6469, in which can be
found sets 6458, 6465, and set 6452. Sets 6458 and 6452 I
already had, 6465 and the value pack 6469 are available in
the US only. I had purchased 6469, in order to get another
little launch pad and satellite, as well as 6465.
So the quandy (I know it is sad to brag about being Space
Port complete...)....
Does one, by purchasing 6469, be complete, by virtue of
having 6469 and 6465 contained within, become "complete," or,
as the boxes contained within 6469 being un-numbered, (though
the instructions are), find oneself possesing only 6469, and
need to purchase 6465 seperately in order to qualify?????????

(...) I think it depends on whether you are defining "complete" as an enthusiast or as a collector. An enthusiast would be complete just having all the spaceport sets, regardless of where from. A collector would be complete only when 1 of every (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Not that I'm rating Space Port, but it seems rather unfulfilling to admit that one is complete in a theme that one does not find to be his favorite. (Isn't that a Confuscian proverb or something? :) (...) IMO, to be "complete", you need to (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
