   Sounds like a fun building technique. I think I'll practice with a #497 Galaxy Explorer first and see how it turns out ;)

2. Re: Which Original Themes Would You Like To See Return?

   

   Comment by GeordiePaul · September 2019 · Home› Everything else LEGO

   Being on the older side I’m definitely biased towards sets from the late 70’s and early 80’s. I know nostalgia is probably clouding my judgment but I’d definitely love to see Lego release one ‘classic’ set each year and maybe rotate between themes. Try starting with an exact replica of #497 Galaxy Explorer, complete with…

   I bought 5 of #60180 Monster Truck for the orange wheels and tires... so I could modify #60195 to more closely resemble the TC-497 Overland Train it seems to have been based on.

   ^ Yes, #497 was the designation in the US (and Canada?), while #928 was for RoW. This is the same for a number of sets in early Classic Space. The sets themselves are identical, so no need to get duplicates! When you say "The pre-1984 minifigure sets are difficult or impossible to find", what are you referring to? Sets…

7. Re: 'Older' Space-sets - playability

   

   Comment by madforLEGO · January 2018 · Home› Collecting

   It is biased, but I think that the classic space of the late 70's early 80's has TONS of play value, as it really is limited by imagination, or lack thereof for some. I just think that, while there are a wealth of parts and building techniques due to those new parts today, that really you are stifling some of the…

   Fair enough. People have different perspectives. Other than the very simple-to-build 31054 set (71 pieces, $4.59, Target) I built for my one year old the other day, I've not built a Lego set (following instructions) since...I dunno, the Galaxy Explorer (set 497) was a new release (1979). By the standards I'm familiar…
