(...) Thank you. Simplicity is the watchword with classic space. This type of creation doesn't require any fancy building technique, nor even a large range of parts. It's mainly bricks, plates, and slopes. Mmmm. -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Exploriens was the last of the really cool space themes, and I loved it from the moment I spotted it because it looks just like round 2 of classic space. (...)

That is very cool. Like Allister said, even though I wasn't around to get any, this still brings back nostalgic feelings. (what of? My explorian sets? :) ) But anyway, I really like the way you 'space-a-fied' that train engine. The high speed train (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)
