I don't understand. I don't own any Launch Command sets, but I checked out
the pictures on Pause, and they don't look much more impressive than the new
Space Port sets, if at all.


Launch Command was a minor sub-theme by number of sets, but has a loyal
following as evidenced by the high auction/MSRP price.  I guess we'll have to
wait and see if Space Port is more Jr-esque (large specialized piece reference
avoided).

Certainly one of the historical complaints was that the shuttle bay was too
small.  Now that there appears to be a bigger shuttle-type model (reference to
wing size avoided), we find that it may in fact be consumed by a light and
sound element.
