Hi Dave,nice to meet you again!(remember the blue minifig with stickered
insignia.)
My memory is not mixed up: the levers of my jetpack are completly black (not
light grey base like 6702 set).
I still have the box of my 6891 set and this Jetpack does not appear on it!
I don't want to sell this set, I just want to know if someone has had the
same surprise (I mean it's not a question of business,just a question of
curiosity).
I've been collecting space sets since 1980 too (see my member page).
I agree about the Gamma-V: it's a wonderfull set (and should have been a new
direction for designers...)
Let's keep on conquering the moon!
JB
