(...) ... (...) It's called nostalgia. I was surprised a few years ago to find that I don't suffer from it. I've probably told this story one too many times, but anyway...

(...) I don't blame ya. I don't own the Galaxy Explorer, but I've played with a couple of them. It is a nice model, but to me it isn't special. I think that's because it wasn't a set I grew up with though, if it was, the story would be different. (...) (21 years ago, 27-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Same here, I have not a huge deal of interest in the Galaxy Explorer (although I do own one of each of the 3 LLxxx printed bricks that I picked up from a seller). My big interest is in getting a 6983 Ice Station Odyssey so I can be Ice Planet (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.town)

<snip> (...) Tim, you better stop making me feel old. Sometimes I think it's these ABS bricks that make me feel younger than I really am...

(...) ... (...) Save a spot for me up there dude. I like the old sets, but appreciate them more for their place in history than as models in themselves. I had the 924 as a kid, and could build it from memory. When I came out of my dark age 18 months (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.town)

True...nostalgia is a powerful factor in the reverence the old CS sets enjoy here, but for me anyway it's the concept of playablility that comes through in the design and basic construction of the sets that tweaks me more so than the actual (...)
