(...) I like the concept of Artic, but not the implimentation. It could have been done so much better with non-Jr-ized pieces and sans cheesy iceball/crater piece and trans-scorpion. OTOH, Ice Planet, colors included, ROCKS. I LOVE the trans-orange (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) I don't it's going to happen either, at least not the sets we *really* want, like the Galaxy Explorer and the original Blacktron stuff, etc., but I think it's at least somewhat encouraging that TLC -did- re-release 4 early-90's Space sets in (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Arctic is good. It is prototypical (except for the ice ball and etc). It has some great elements:The parka The snowshoes The skis The large wall sections (I really like them even if some people don't) The catterpiller tracks -- Jonathan Wilson (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) I was freaked-out initially by the mild juniorization of the Artic sets (it's not really extreme juniorization like the 2000 City Center sets), but for me, to a large extent, that's made up for by things like the great elements Jonathan (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) I do have to agree a lot of the elements offered are great. I'd go for the dark blue windshields, lab windows (perfect on space bases) and gas tank pieces. The parkas are awesome too, and could perhaps be used on a large IP2002 setup (if it (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) I love the trans-orange too. I wish there were more sets currently available that I could get them in. I have a hard time coming up with ideas to use blue with. For some reason I get a mental block with it, but it does go with the IP2002 theme (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) I wish some of the cooler recent pieces came in it, like the aquazone windscreen and the large aquazone dome. As for colors it goes well with, I like it with black, with a bit of white as a highlight color -- Jonathan Wilson (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Agreed. I've already thought of a few other uses for most of the things mentioned above. IMO, the lab windows are akin to the Divers' type of small round windows. Often, after I get used to seeing pieces like that, I usually think to myself, (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.space)
