Yep, here's my thoughts:
I wouldn't get any of those space sets. Guess I'm just too old. I was lucky
enough to be around 10 years old when the first space stuff was introduced.
The only space classic I'd buy would be 928. I'd also buy it if they didn't
remold the classic helmet.
6973 the best space set ever? That's.............. (speechless). It looks
like those crappy 80's japanese cartoons. Transformers 'n' stuff....
That's my not particularly humble opinion anyway.

| (...) I think 6973 was a great space set. Maybe not the greatest, but definitely in the top 5. The color scheme rankles, but it has a very high playability factor.
