Lunar Launch Site features a pit trap mechanism just in case someone comes along poking their nose where it doesn’t belong.

Lunar Launch Site, 1994: Spyrius’ secret planetary base contains a control center, a rover, a small flying saucer, 3 minifigures, a pit trap, and a missile hidden in the rocks.




Robo-Guardian’s arms ratchet upwards and then release via levers behind the shoulders. It makes for sort of a “Hulk Smash” effect.

Robo-Guardian, 1994: Large 10-wheeler robot features a small flyer, detachable spaceship head, one magnetic arm for moving crates, one pincer arm for grasping, and 3 minifigures.

Norway Trip, Day 9: Bergen. 3 hour boat cruise up the 27 km long Osterfjord, followed by shopping for rain gear in Bryggen (old town) and a visit to the Bergen Aquarium. The aquarium serves the best fish soup. It rained the entire day.




Norway Trip, Day 8: Final day of our 6 day / 5 night, almost 2,500 km cruise along the coast from Kirkenes to (rainy) Bergen. Visited the fish market (where I tasted whale). Walking tour of Bryggen (Bergen’s old town) topped off by Norwegian tapas (including reindeer tartare).



Norway Trip, Day 7: Walking tour of Trondheim Old Town and Nidaros Cathedral in the morning, and a demonstration of how to filet a salmon and a lecture on Norse mythology in the afternoon as we continue our way southward along the coast.




Norway Trip, Day 6: Stormy weather overnight made for rough seas. We crossed the Arctic Circle heading south. It was marked with a globe on a lonely islet. (I had a ceremonial spoonful of cod liver oil.) Rainy, windy, cloudy and cold weather today.
