(...) I agree with Todd. The SW sets are nice, even though I am not a huge fan of the SW universe. I am a lot happier with these sets than Insectoids, Rock Raiders, Exploriens, and to some extent UFO. (My roommate has made some awesome UFO models, (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)

I can understand the frustration at the loss of a theme.....I thought the wild west(except for the indians) and the Ninja sets were worth continuing..... I completely lost interest in space when M-tron started...I viewed spyrius and exploriens as (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Wait a second. I happen to own all the Exploriens, and I did / do like them. I think the uniforms are nice. I just don't think they are up to par with the more classic sets, I.E. Classic Space, Futuron, Blacktron 1, and Mtron. The large vessel (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)
