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:
Category: Micro
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.
6890: Cosmic Cruiser
6890-1: Cosmic Cruiser, 1982. Small rocket sled that docks inside a larger spaceship shell (for FTL travel?). Unique design and color scheme.
6880: Surface Explorer
6880-1: Surface Explorer, 1982. Business in the front, party in the back! First yellow astronaut. This set goes all in on the new balloon tires.
Space 1981 Roundup
…and that’s the 6 LEGO Space sets from 1981. Next up: 1982.
6929: Starfleet Voyager
6929-1: Starfleet Voyager, 1981. Wasp-waisted mid-sized spaceship w/ Concorde-style angled nose, cargo storage in the rear, and plenty of accessories.
6927: All-Terrain Vehicle
6927-1: All-Terrain Vehicle, 1981. Blue windscreens! 💙 Ground vehicle that deploys a base via a clever mechanism. Rocket-propelled because space!
6870: Space Probe Launcher
6870-1: Space Probe Launcher, 1981. Articulated ground vehicle with a small flying wedge. Neat small set but needs another astronaut.
