I heard that LEGO couldn't make non-Star Wars spaceships anymore, which is why LOM was all vehicles (plus the Space Shuttle, which is shown crashing). Anyone else heard this too? Did LEGO ever say anything official?Nagyss 17:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Should the Meteor Monitor even be considered Blacktron? It has a Blacktron mini-figure, but that's it, and it came two years after the last official Blacktron set. I don't think it's legit Blacktron. Thus Blacktron spans the years 1987-1988. --Globe199 02:44, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- If it has a Blacktron that would make it a Blacktron set now wouldn't it? A little commonsense please! --The Matrix Prime 01:44, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Set Names and Links
I am curious as to why set numbers and their basic descriptions do not have links to pictures of the sets. Listing the sets without links to their pictures makes for less useful information.
Another reason to link the set names to pictures of the sets is that Wikipedia takes Lego Space words like "space shuttle" and "scooter" and links to entries that are not Lego sets. For example, there is now a link for 6940 Alien Moon Stalker, and Wikipedia made three links from that set name: one for each word in that set name, each having nothing to do with Lego. See the article.
[edit] Insectoids leader
I had never heard that the female minifig was called the Gypsy Moth. Was this name not introduced to North America? Also, at least one catalog in North America termed the Insectoids leader as a queen. Check this link: http://www.peeron.com/catalogs/1999/sah/46/
I see no reason why both "Gypsy Moth" and "queen" cannot coexist in the article. - Dr. Spamcake 2006/8/6 21:18 PDT
[edit] Insectoids is the last space theme?
- I found proof that Lego Insectoids is not the last Lego space theme and that Lego Life on Mars is the last.
- We know it, but themes from futuron to insectoids take place in a far future, whereas life on Mars take place in the XXIth century.

- Does it for sure take place in the XXIst century? - Dr. Spamcake

- Do the themes from Futuron to Insectoids take place in the far future for sure? All human Space themes may well be located on Earth's moon. The only exception, Ice Planet, could be set on Jupiter's moon Europa, Pluto or Eris. It is not inconcievable that humans will establish a base on Europa within this century. UFO and Insectoids could take place at any time, anywhere, since they are about aliens.

[edit] Lego history
The early parts about Lego "themes" and perceived "primitvity" should be rewritten. Lego wasn't a new company in the 1970's, and had actually in practice had several themes released before that. 惑乱 分からん 13:59, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
- Clarification made to specify Lego Space and not the non-specific word "Lego", as it could be read as "the company of Lego". Struck the mention of themes in general, as the article is about Lego Space, and not other Lego themes. A discussion about how themes relate and differ is best suited for its own article. Struck the use of "primitive", as this is implied in older toy design: one would expect a product to improve with time. - Dr.Spamcake
[edit] Unitron "Dark Grey" Debate
I'm just expressing opinion here...I thought the very first dark grey pieces were those used in the "big ugly rock" pieces in 1992's castle set "Wolfpack Tower". This would make the quiet introduction section obsolete. Did the writer mean dark grey usage in the Space System, specifically? I didn't change anything - please review this.
- Will revise. This remark was aimed more at the color's introduction to space, and not other themes. - Dr. Spamcake
