(...) 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. (...) (22 years ago, 27-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)
