 | | French Toy Fair 2007 : pictures !
|
| Hi, FreeLUG members were to the french Toy Fair. We wrote an article (in french) on our website (URL) Among the new sets, we can spotlight : the new electrical system with IR remote control, for the Technic bulldozer and the Creator Dino. The (...)

| | | | | Sector 4 Tribunal
|
| This MOC is a celebration of our own Dan Rubin's recent passage of the BAR examination. Although I'm hesitant to celebrate the addition of another lawyer to our already burdoned society, at least he's one of our own. (URL) As always, I offer you two (...)

| | | | | Eastern Block Space Patroller
|
| The Eastern-Block's "Red Bear", pictured here with some well-aged but tried-and-true support vehicles, has been long-feared by X-1 Patrol Craft pilots. This heavy-duty vessel, bristling with high-powered weaponry made to incinerate Galaxy Explorer (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)

|
| (...) Matt, yeah, this is a great idea! I've sent you an e-mail of sets that I can bring. Can't wait to see the entire CS menagerie together. This will be cool. -best, Wolf (18 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Classic Space Fly-In at BrickFest PDX
|
| This idea is fantastic. I think people will be surprised at how much Space there really is. I can't wait to see it (in photos . . . I can't go to PDX). (18 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Classic Space Fly-In at BrickFest PDX
|
| This year at BrickFest in Portland we will be doing something a little different. We will attempt to display every single Space set, 1979-1999, Classic through Insectoids, in one giant and beautiful layout. So we need you to bring a few of your (...)

| The model and your description made me chuckle insanely. I love those small wheels. Good to see you rejuvenating the .space! (18 years ago, 8-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Blacktron from the Big Easy
|
| This is what can happen when a cajun Blacktron operative acquires a space scooter (set 885), and he beefs it up. He's ready to drop in for Mardi Gras and binge on all those wonderful beignets, crawfish et tu fe and really stiff drinks. -best, Wolf (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, FTX) !
| | | | | Re: New Space Sets!
|
| (...) Yeah, I definitely agree with the opinion that a return to exploration-based space sets would be cool. Should have been something like "Mars Mission 2025", pehaps with a modular interplanetary vessel (big set), maybe some robot support (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: New Space Sets!
|
| (...) The dropship looks good, I'll need to reserve final judgment on the rest until seeing better pictures. As others have said, I'd hoped for a more "exploration" based theme, rather than more space-fantasy conflict. But at least it's space. Kelly (18 years ago, 8-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Re: New Space Sets!
|
| I'm feeling a bit underwhelmed, personally. I loved the classic Space sets way back, of course, and was quite fond of the NASA/Discovery line a few years ago. I'd really like to see some Space sets with a more realistic near-future space exploration (...) (18 years ago, 7-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: New Space Sets!
|
| Indeed! Hard to tell from these pictures but it looks like most of the sets contain very little of the new colors, which makes me VERY happy! Giant wheels in orange?! SWEET. The new 1/4 saucer bricks are intriguing as well. Seems that the Bionicle (...) (18 years ago, 7-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: New Space Sets!
|
| (...) I was hoping for an updated Galaxy Explorer in red, and a gatling-armed Mobile Lab with a trans-red windshiled, but these Mars sets do look interesting. Some of them are very alien, which I think is cool. That there's a battle going on works (...) (18 years ago, 7-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I've only tried the passenger car on curves via pushing the train by hand, and it seems to do ok. It (...) (18 years ago, 5-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Classic Space Rocket Train
|
| (...) I love it! Very classic. I wonder, though- the passenger car looks like it has an awkwardly-long wheelbase for a 2-axle car. Does it bind in curves? Anyway, this looks like it would be at home on a moonbase layout. And by your server domain, (...) (18 years ago, 5-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, FTX)

For the engine--the wings are there largely to have the rockets clear the trailing rail cars. Of course, I could make the train a (...) (18 years ago, 4-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Classic Space Rocket Train
|
| (...) Way cool. I especially like the 80's LEGO catalog like rendering of the pictures. As for the model, I like the color and styling, but I'd lose the stubby wing tips. They just don't sit well with me since I don't think trains ought to have (...) (18 years ago, 4-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Classic Space Rocket Train
|
| (...) Wolf, I'm greatly impressed with your rocket train. With the backgrounds you've added, the images look like they might as well be out of an early 80s LEGO catalog. The style of building closely matches that of the classic Space era. I'd love (...) (18 years ago, 4-Jan-07, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, FTX)
