6979-1: Interstellar Starfighter, 1997. Large UFO spaceship has sort of a Star Trek vibe to it. The half saucer in the rear detaches via magnets to form its own small fighter. The only Space set to feature a fiber optic lighting system. Comes with two alien pilots and a droid.
Alien Avenger is not a perfect circle but rather a 32 x 32 stud rounded rectangle with a corner radius of 14 studs. (I was proud that my son noticed this!) 🤓
6975-1: Alien Avenger, 1997. Large flying saucer comes with detachable mini saucer, small and medium-sized rovers, magnetic crane arm, dual forward blasters, three aliens, and a droid. The mini saucer docks via magnets. Easily my favorite UFO set.
6915-1: Warp Wing Fighter, 1997. Looks like a mashup of a flying saucer and an X-Wing. Comes with an alien pilot and a droid. Lots of big printed parts.
6900-1: Cyber Saucer, 1997. Flying saucer piloted by a single blue alien. The saucer spins and can separate from the landing gear. Check out those bright colors and big printed parts!
6836-1: V-Wing Fighter, 1997. Small spaceship with ample firepower and thrusters piloted by a red droid. Not a bad looking ship.
6829-1: Radon Rover, 1997. Odd-looking ground vehicle driven by a blue droid. I’m not sure what’s going on with those wings over the rear wheels.
6818-1: Cyborg Scout, 1997. Space tricycle piloted by a blue droid. Not great but points for being slightly asymmetrical.
6800-1: Cyber Blaster, 1997. Small but well-armed hovercraft piloted by a blue droid (also armed). The printing on the droid (and slope and tile) is quite elaborate, probably overly so.
2847-1: Flyer, 1997. One of the smallest UFO sets, this little ship features posable wings, an alien with a transparent neon orange head … and not much else. UFO is the penultimate Space subtheme that I will cover. The cool printed helmet reminds me of the Predator.
