I doubt this. The Legoland Space series was introduced in 1978. It
was the first space-themed series of LEGO toys that made use of the
poseable "minifig", which was also introduced in 1978. "Legoland"
was the name given the the line of sets that used this poseable
minifig. There was Castle, Town, etc., and of course, Space. That
is it. It wasn't given any other name because it was the only
Legoland space product that existed. And they continued to produce
those Legoland Space products until the late 1980's.
When Futuron first appeared, it was as a new line of Legoland space
sets. Why they called it Futuron, I have no idea. Around that time
LEGO seemed to be applying "sub-theme" names to all the products
they produced. It's a marketing gimmick if you ask me. Anyhow,
yes the same space logo is used on both the original Legoland space
sets (which we call "Classic Space") and the Futuron sets. But in all
other respects they are different lines. I don't understand why
you continue to claim that the Classic Space sets were actually
Futuron, when clearly the Futuron line didn't exist until a decade
after the Classic Space sets started.
