Mobile Rocket Launchers, 1978-93




Ice-Sat V, 1993. The return of magnets! This mobile rocket launcher comes with a rocket, satellite payload, magnetic crane, tools, and one astronaut.




Blizzard Baron, 1993. Back to Ice Planet! This brightly colored spaceship/sled crossover carries a detachable communications array.



AFAIK LEGO only ever released instructions for 3 Super Models, spanning the years 1983-93. Here they are in all their awkward glory!



The Blacktron II Super Model is built by combining the pieces for these three sets from 1991. This was a promotional gimmick to get you to buy all the sets.

Blacktron II Super Model, 1993. Giant space tricycle and a weird jet pack extension.




Sonar Security, 1993. The final Space Police II set is a small ground vehicle hauling a trailer with a satellite. Or is that a tactical nuke?



I like how the Ice Planet logo (left) is basically a snow-capped version of the original Classic Space logo (right).
