One of my first and favorite LEGO sets. Still have it. I miss classic space.

I wish I had had this set as a kid. It’s pretty awesome. Chris Edwards built a really great reimagined version some years ago. It should still be in his Flickr stream.

This was my very first space set.

Good old days. Back in the day I was given a choice, it was either this or 6951 (the big Robot with lots of stuff in it). Of course I went for the Robot. I don't regret my decision but I wouldn't mind having this set, too.

This one was so good to play with ! As a kid it was so complete with radars and all its equipment, offered really great possibilities with the pilot section and the lab at the rear, all those wheels which gave you the feeling that it could roll and pass over any surface... I remember hours of play with it and the two lunar grey baseplates... I was a castle fan, but this one gave me hours of fun.

Memories... miss my space sets :)

I still have this set. I love it. Great playability, research and exploration theme (not war), two minifigs, timeless design. I played hours and hours with it.

One of my favourite sets from when I was a kid. I too still have this.

Loved the Space theme as a kid and this was one of my favourite sets. I’ve probably still got bits of it in my big tub o’ classic LEGO.

Classic Space to me is the best category of Lego sets. Over the years i have complied a complete classic space collection.

This is a really nice set...
Probably the best C-Space ground vehicle. All the classic space sets were just awesome.

I really wish LEGO would do a Classic Space theme revival. Bring back the rad logo, and make the sets about exploration instead of warfare/conflict.

^ it's sad that everything is conflict now. Going backward in time, Galaxy Squad, Alien Conquest, Space Police III, and Mars Mission were all conflict based. And obviously Star Wars is conflict-based, too, but thanks to it, there's a large dry spell in space (I believe for a time SW had an exclusive agreement to be the only space theme during that era) making 2001's short-lived Life on Mars the last time we actually had a peaceful Space Theme.

That's 17 years with no peace in space, Lego. What does that say about us?

@lego.lord I had the same exact choice between the FX Star Patroller and Gamma-V Lasercraft. I chose the FX. I also never regretted the decision but always wanted both (the dream finally came true in college when I acquired one off the internet!).

I always found it odd that it would specify uranium.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the thinking was that the uranium would be used to power the Classic Space ships and bases. By the end of the Classic Space era the scale of some of them would require an very powerful energy source and there was not a solar cell insight.

Now there is something that a large scale Classic Space layout needs - a field of solar pannels to power the base!

Gotta love Classic Space

Looks like there were only 8 space sets that year, as one of the "sets" counted is a value pack of 3 existing sets.

I loved this set as a kid. Would love to see do more non-Star Wars space sets.
