(...) I have to agree.. While I despised the insectoids and ufo stuff, and I do have a certain attachment to the classic space sets (for nostalgic reasons, since I had those and nothing else when I was a kid), I think they did a nice job on (...) (24 years ago, 10-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 (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)

Paul, (...) Well, I for one fell in love with the Futurons, there have always been bad designs in every theme, from Castle to Town to Space, but overall, the Classic Space line, and the Futuron line, compared to the newer lines, really fall short. I (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)
