  Yeah, I feel basically the same way. This is the first decent space
theme in quite a while, and I ran out and bought a bunch. After
having put together both of the mechs, I can say that I like them
very much and so far have been keeping them assembled rather
than throwing them into the mix. I'm hoping they make rust-colored
baseplates/craterplates too.

  So what's this you say about a sale at K-Mart? I went over to a
K-Mart a few days ago and didn't see much sign of a sale, and
most of their stock was picked clean anyway...

These Life on Mars sets have rekindled my interest in Space. I haven't been
a Space builder since the classic sets of the late 70s/early 80s and when I
got the Futuron monorail back in '88. (Though I have bought two 6991 • Unitron
monorails in the last year for use in Town).

I don't have any Martians yet (hoping for some with my next ManiaMag), but • I
got the 7312 T-3 Trike and 7315 Solar Explorer for Christmas. I like the
modular aspect but wish the canopy on the Explorer was hinged. The Trike
could fit right in with the Futuron theme, I can see it racing along side
the 6990 at a lunar base.

The Martian mechs are neat, but I haven't acted on the temptation to buy
them even with K-Mart's BOGO 50% sale. The closest I've gotten to a mech • was
1986's 6940 Alien Moon Stalker, but that set always reminded me of an • AT-AT.
I'm not too sure what to think about the big Martian base with the • airtubes,
guess I'll wait until I see it up close in the LEGO aisle.

One thing I'd like to see is reddish-orange baseplates, preferably the old
crater style from classic space. I've got only one of those, in lunar gray
from my Alpha-1 Rocket Base. Now that was a great set.

(...) I've seen the K-Mart sale at only a couple of stores in this area (west central IN/east central IL). I figured it would be a national thing, but it may not be. The stores here have the $20 and under LoM sets, but no 2001 SW. I wouldn't mind (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.space)
