Second row, second from left in flight direction was my first Lego set I got during my first visit to West Berlin in Nov '89. I played lot with this set
That one’s on my list; it’s currently on backorder until March.
Ah man, I see Futuron, Magnetron, AND Blacktron in there. That brings back a lot of fond memories.
Speaking of, have y’all seen this? I’m having a hard time saying no to it:
It is a cool set but I prefer the old one.
Edit: gah, the longer I look at it the more I like the new one.
I bought the new Invader for my brother though, because the old Invader is his favorite lego set ever, and it is pretty great.
I the meantime I built this. It was called the Aerial Intruder (or Spy Intruder):
Had this one too. Those space ships had many cool features like dockable fighter pods or the rover bay.
I think I still have the complete collections of M-Tron sets in the basement…
I always wanted more M-tron but they were too expensive so I never got more than the one small set.
My brother and I mostly had Space Police (both generations) and Ice Planet.
The kids are ALMOST old enough to get out old Lego collection, but frankly we don’t have the space for it.
My inner child wants this. Maybe my adult side, too. I resisted buying the Galaxy Explorer re-release. Something I may regret, years from now. Nostalgia is strong.
