DrVenkman Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 19 minutes ago, zzip said: I had the smaller version of that ship, I forget the name There were a couple different small blue-colored ships - the then-big LL928 Galaxy Explorer; the LL918 Space Transport; LL924 Space Cruiser; plus several more lesser-known models and some of the somewhat more-detailed white-colored ships like the Starfleet Voyager, which I think was the last large Lego ship I had as a kid. But I had all of the above, the Alpha-1 Rocket Base, and a bunch of little carts, buggies and flyer sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was about 30 minutes per bag, so about 7 hours of build time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB5200 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I almost got this set for Christmas. I had on my list, this set or the pacman set, and by the box dimensions I was sure that it was this 2600 set, but when I opened it, to my surprise it was the NES kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I've seen some of those Lego sets for the console, looks pretty cool but I'm on the fence about it so far. I'd probably get some of the game models if I find one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
