I would have liked to see the MIB too.  More trans yellow domes would be
sweet.  Also the Battrax has only one fig if I am correct, it would be nice
to get more.
However, as pointed out before, the Battrax is a great empire-builder, as it
is cheaper. I would not buy more than one MIB. (Though I notice Kyle has
already two and I am jealous!)

But hey, I'll take what I can get.  Since we see that classic space helmets
are out (DANG IT!), what Futuron sets would be "Legendary"?  (am I correct
in that no futuron set has the space symbol on bricks or slopes?) Has anyone
decided they would accept a classic space man with a new helmet and visor?
Or would you take a Galaxy Explorer with Futuron pilots?
Hey, if you vote for the classic yellow castle (a great set which I actually
got for my eighth birthday) you would have five grey classic helmets. I have
found out that a BT1 guy with a grey classic space helmet looks like a real
dork...
I think the futuron set "star quest" has a space insignia
on a white 3x2 brick. It is quite a small set, though. I'm not surprised
about those classic helmets, though. I don't think Lego even *has* the
moulding anymore.
LEGO must have the moulding for the before mentioned classic yellow castle!

A shame, but, oh well... I wouldn't like to see a classic
space man with the new helmet, because a helmet without a visor would be,
er...just not right...
You think they would slightly modify a classic rerelease to include
visors on the helmets, or would LEGO leave it to the fans to decide.

Just my two brickz...

Okay, I already voted for the Battrax and really hope it will win, even
though I agree it is a rather unfair vote. Isn't every vote rather unfair,
though? There are two castle sets there and the castle fans are probably
already engaged in a civil war over the outcome. Hate to be in news.castle
right now, I'd rather be killed by a Blacktron blaster than a classic castle
sword. Okay, no Han Solo, Obi Wan Kenobi dialogue here...

(...) I would rather get my hands on one MIB than two battrax, but I guess I'll have to go with what Lego has for offer. It's a bit disappointing that Lego couldn't have released a larger, more complex model such as Renegade. (which has more figures (...) (23 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) I'm a bit perplexed at the decision to release a smaller Blacktron set instead of something awesome (Like a Renegade, for example) or even an older set such as Cosmic Fleet Voyager which would have got my vote right away. (...) Space Police vs (...) (23 years ago, 13-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)
