LEGO ships the insectoid sets in boxes marked "Space." They're in
the right set number range to be a part of the Space line. They consist
of little guys with helmets riding around in spaceships and ground
vehicles, just like all the other space sets. How could they not
be "a real space theme?"
I'm particularly boggled by the fact that you consider UFO "real space"
but not Insectoid. What's the difference? I'm boggled. This confuses
me much more than the "ninja not = castle" claim, and I disagree with
that claim, too.
