(...) Oh, definitely! :) Although I'm not as pleased with RR as I'd like to be, I do find myself (a die-heard Space head since 1978) wanting to collect AZ and RR as well -- for their "space-like" futurism and beauty and cool elements for building (...)

(...) Yeah, but conceptually, they're very space-like. I'd also consider putting the Aquazone stuff under space too. (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.space, lugnet.underground)

(...) Hmm, skeptical. What exactly does it say? Even if Rock Raiders takes place on some other planet out in "space," it's not part of LEGO SYSTEM SPACE™. Rock Raiders is a theme within LEGO SYSTEM UNDERGROUND™. --Todd (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.space, lugnet.underground)

Not to beat the "not to scale" to death, but I was curious the other day, and calculated the height an AT-AT would be if that piece were used for the feet, and it was built to scale with the 'foot's width... It'd be about 20 centimeters tall. (...) (25 years ago, 1-Oct-99, to lugnet.underground, lugnet.reviews)

Maybe if they marked the 4950 (and most of the Rock Raiders) line as ages 6-8 I wouldn't have such a problem with them. But as an overall value, these sets in general are awful. They just don't have that much building value - my 8 year old likes the (...) (25 years ago, 1-Oct-99, to lugnet.underground, lugnet.reviews)

Does it have the sloped control stand in teal, or are my eyes deceiving me? (BTW I need one of those in white if someone has some, I can trade grey or black for it) Just think, a 6990 Futuron monoral with teal accents, wouldn't that look cool?

I just thought I would throw in by 2 cents worth on these 2 sets.
