I'm relatively new to this web site so maybe this has been discussd before.
I stopped collecting lego right around the Blacktron II, Space Police II
days, so I never had any experience with the later space sets.  It seems
after those days the space lego seemed fractured.  Unitron is such a tiny
line, was the whole concept just unpopular?  It just doesn't seem very
developed.  4 different sets, 1 ship, 1 vehicle and 2 bases.  Any one know
the history with this line?  The sets seem really cool and I was thinking of
getting my hands on some. (at the cost of paying an arm and a leg I'm sure).

What's everyone's thoughts?
