6930: Space Supply Station
6930-1: Space Supply Station, 1983. Small base elevated over a crater plate with a command center, two ground vehicles, and two hovercrafts.
6844: Seismological Vehicle
6844-1: Seismological Vehicle, 1983. Articulated ground vehicle with containers, dual sensors, and ground-scanning radar. Fitting companion to the Surface Transport.
6823: Surface Transport
6823-1: Surface Transport, 1983. Small, articulated ground vehicle with a scanner and a container for samples.
6803: Space Patrol
6803-1: Space Patrol, 1983. Updated version of the small flying wedge. Blue accents and a video camera/gun. Swooshable. 🚀💫
1593: Super Model
1593-1: Super Model, 1983. Wonderfully weird and awkward. You get a communications module and a ship that docks with a ground vehicle.
Super models
To kick off 1983 we have a super model. Super models were instructions for builds using pieces from two or three sets. In this case these two sets:
Space 1982 Roundup
…and that’s the small wave of 3 LEGO Space sets from 1982. Next up: 1983.
6950: Mobile Rocket Transport
6950-1: Mobile Rocket Transport, 1982. Most epic of all the rocket launchers. Big tires and independent suspension for rocky alien terrain. 🚀👍
6842 + 918 = 6890
The aforementioned Cosmic Cruiser looks like the love child of these two sets.
