This was probably the best sub-theme ever. One thing that's weird though is that there are over 15 appearances by the yellow futuron minifig and only 2 by the red and black ones, the two red ones in the same set. What's up with that? And also does (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Well 3 if you count the mini-fig pack, it has one of each and 2 Blacktron 1 figs. If only we could still buy them I'd get... uh SEVERAL HUNDRED of them. Literally. If I had the funding back then, o boy. Now that I have the funding Lego makes (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-00, to lugnet.space)

A little off topic, but now I finally figured out why TLG makes POOPs! Because lego's are interchangeable, lego fears that its customer will just buy some cheap basic sets and use the instructions to build the more expensive models. POLL: Which was (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-00, to lugnet.space)
