Large ships 1986-89
Evolution of black-suited space minifigures (left-to-right): Classic Space, Futuron, Space Police
Walkers, 1985-88
Interplanetary Rover feels like a rehash of the Uranium Search Vehicle from 1984.
That’s (finally) it for LEGO Space 1987: 16 sets spanning 3 subthemes. Biggest year yet. Next stop: 1988.
Two rocket bases released in a single year
That’s my final Classic Space build. 8 sets for 1987, 75 sets since 1978. Up next: Futuron.
Space bases, 1980-87
6972-1: Polaris I Space Lab, 1987. I 💙 the diagonal bilateral symmetry of this rocket-launching base featuring twin monorails to scooter launch pads.
6883-1: Terrestrial Rover, 1987. Articulated vehicle with a satellite to launch plus a small drone.
