    Re: No new space sets? —Jonathan Wilson
   (...) Insectoids was running out the 2 year period. Spaceoprt is not space. Rock raiders is not space. The restriction sepcially restricts "spaceships" such as those found in the true space themes. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: No new space sets? —Patrick Leahy
     (...) problem with SW is that it doesn't have sufficient amounts of transparent stuff. It barely has any at all! I can see how I could get enough opaque stuff [except for red. Where do I get good parts in that color?] So how do I get my favorite (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)

     (...) You could stop whining and look at auctions or pages which sell pieces. Just a thought, you don't have to use it. Sure, Star Wars is a good product. And Space is a really cool theme to have around. I'm dissappointed that they aren't making it (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)

     (...) Okay, what's his address? Snail or e-mail, I don't care which one [why do I get the idea I'm asking a really stupid question?]. Z (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)

     (...) optimistic about (at least the potential) of the Lego Company right now. (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: No new space sets? —Jeff Thompson
   (...) Yup - I realized that seconds after I posted it, but didn't have time to go and cancel and edit my message. Sorry! (...) What restriction? Where did we hear about this? Why were the Spaceport spaceships not covered? -- jthompson@esker.com (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)

    (...) They are not spaceships. Does nasa call the space shuttle a spaceship? I think not. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: No new space sets? —Jeff Thompson
   (...) So, since Paramount calls THEIR spaceships "starships" rather than "spaceships" it would be OK for LEGO to license the Star Trek universe and sell models of the Enterprise? Space shuttles fly thru space. I'd call them spaceships, even if NASA (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: No new space sets? —Matthew Miller
   (...) I don't buy it. I think it far more likely that Lego has _decided_ that Star Wars is filling the role of a space theme. (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: No new space sets? —Jeff Thompson
   (...) Until I understand where the licensing-prevents-L...m-selling- non-star-wars-spaceships came from, that is my theory as well. -- jthompson@esker.com "Float on a river, forever and ever, Emily" (25 years ago, 9-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)
