| | | | So far I love the little martian sets.. the mechs are wonderful. But I'm finding that I'm having a hard time bringing myself to spend $50 and $90 for the larger sets when they don't look terribly interesting. Does anyone have an opinion on them? (...)

| | | | I have seen all of the Mars sets and think they all rock! I am really impressed with the station. You can actually use an air pump to shoot a single martian laying flat in a little carrier through several tubes. I have had trouble tearing myself (...)

| | | | Ah Cool, so that is what it does. I was trying to discern from the pictures. The local TRU didn't have the big set. I picked up the two Mechs & the Tri-Trike or whatever it is called. I love the mechs. I'm going to have to get some more. And with (...) (24 years ago, 14-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.space)

And there are three possible tubes to send the carrier in and you can send up one and down another all without having to remove the (...) (24 years ago, 14-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.space)
