Merry Christmas!
You can't spell Christmas without C and S.
Was this in The LEGO Movie (during Wyldstyle’s message)?
Such an icon.

Yup, sure is. What a cool set.
Excellent timing! It's a little known fact that this facility helps track Santa's journey as he makes his deliveries!

I'm pretty sure it was the one shown, yes; I thought of that, too.

They also watched a lot of broadcast TV. Apparently.
The Command Centre?
Where's Zordon and Alpha?
I got this set- actually, 493, the U.S. version- for Christmas 1979. I knew it was Lego by the rattle. I just couldn't wait, so I opened the wrapping just enough to see which set it was, then retaped it. Then I was nervous that I would be caught somehow. So that somewhat ruined the excitement of getting it. I never peeked again. Didn't stop me from trying to guess, though!
What a nice Christmas gift from Huwbot!

Speaking of which, does anyone have recommendations for favourite Santa Tracker website (mostly for giggles)? I found three so far: Google, NORAD, and FlightRadar24.
Oh Huwbot!! Why must you tug at my heartstrings at this time of year?
Maybe, just maybe, this is under the tree for me tomorrow.
Never had it, but always admired it; just a grade below G.E. 1.0, which I also never had...had two of the Space Transport though (both received at Christmas too)...could even put it together without blueprints after awhile.:)
Merry Christmas!
So many incredible CS-y parts in this set, and such a classic to get stickered torsos. I still will always love the old TV antennas. Just great. Lovely set. But uh… @Huwbot? You sure about that? I’d be quite lucky to find one for $148.60 used ;)
I would love to have it today. Not in the box though, used. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to open and play with it.
Despite the positive reception, at time of this comment there's still a higher amount of comments than likes.
I really like the clear back seats. I wonder if there was a Uranus joke hidden in that piece choice.
Got it as Christmas present back then (1980), played endlessly with it; my very first 'building' set. Kids have it now...
