The Best Ever

Posted by Frelancer9919 in United States on 21 February 2009

The First space collection Ship I ever owned and by far, the best. I would spend hours as a child building, and rebuilding this ship. I could build this ship with out the book and as i expanded my collect I would use all pieces to " inprove" this ship.

Gread small ship

Posted by petro17sq in United Kingdom on 17 August 2008

I own the Galaxy Explorer since I was I kid and know using Bricklink I found the bricks to build this one, actually I still have to buy 3 or 4 brick (The most expensive ones) but for me I consider that I own this set already, I am also buying the piece for the medium ship 924 and I hope to finish at the end of the year the 3 classic space ships.
The only problem then is that my Galaxy Explorer is in a box in my apartment back home in another continent!

Perfection in a LEGO spaceship

Posted by Paul Baulch in Australia on 12 September 2007

This spaceship sports the excellent Classic Space colour scheme, and has a visual design that is about as close to perfect as I can imagine for a LEGO spaceship.
For a start, it's visually balanced, having structure which extends about as far underneath the wing surface as it does above, unlike its larger cousins 924 and 928 which have am inferior "stuff plonked on top of the wing" look to them, or later sets which would feature spindly wings, struts or oversized tails or weapons.
Secondly, it displays a wonderful minimalism in that all the components are there to perform some reasonably obvious function, and are placed in aesthetically pleasing spots. Lastly, it's an incredibly efficient design, providing a compact assortment of internal features while maintaining a sleekness of exterior.

Perfection.

Timeless design

Posted by mindstormer on 12 August 2007

When first getting my hands on this model over 20 years ago, i thought the design was pretty sleek. Now, in retrospect, is safe to add that is also timeless! Playabiliy is good, as the model fits very well in your hand flying it.

Should've won a Design Award...

Posted by isolator42 on 26 June 2007

When the 11 Legoland Space sets first came out in the UK in 1979, I was 10 years old & thought I had gone to toy heaven. I used my pocket-money to buy as much of them as possible, & got all the smaller sets. The 4 biggest sets were beyond my means, so this was the biggest one I had.
It is perfectly proportioned and pleasing to the eye from every angle (like a well designed car) and has just the right amount of "extra bits" bristling off it - techy looking but not bristling with OTT fussy details.
As I approach 40, I still like it as much as I did nearly 30 years ago...
