2152-1: Robo Raptor, 1997. Walking dino mech with an astronaut rider. Head rotates, three-clawed arms move at the shoulder, and the tail is articulated. This is the future I was promised!

Space 1996 Roundup
That’s it for the 9 LEGO Space sets (1 Spyrius + 8 Exploriens) from 1996. This will be the final complete year of sets I will build. I’ll do some from 1997 and a few from 1998 but not all of them. Nah, I’ll be completing all LEGO Space sets through 1999.
Alien Fossil Tiles
The Exploriens sets included alien fossil tiles printed in red, white, and blue. They would reveal different patterns when viewed through transparent red or blue plastic. (The tiles were also magnetic.)

6982: Explorien Starship
6982-1: Explorien Starship, 1996. Large drop-nose spaceship features a detachable rover, two robotic arms, a telescope, twin rockets, sensor dish, three astronauts and a droid. This was the largest LEGO spaceship yet released. My favorite bit is the rover.
