I had this one as a kid: 
Had the really neat pieces with electrical contacts which would make a circuit to get the lights to flash.
I displayed it for years. I gave it to my son a while back, and now it disappeared into his giant abyss box of pieces

I had/have this for sure. I remember the little portable jail in the back. There was always a minifig locked up.

Anyone have this one as a kid?: 
My favourite set, I had it on my dresser for years. It too is lost in my son's lego void.
These were my favourite "model" legos, still made out of what looks like traditional pieces. I think that if you wanted you could have also built a couple of other things with this set.

The yellow and black space stuff was (possibly inappropriately) called Blacktron… I have pieces of 1 ship I think I figured out which one.
I’ve been ordering random missing pieces off of bricklink from Canadian sellers with no minimum orders. Some grandma in New Brunswick has had most of the stuff I’ve needed lol!

No wonder RS has so many ballers. Lego kits when you were kids. I always got the cheap knock offs. I forgot what the brand was called. You can still build stuff but kinda limited compared to lego.

A lot of other knock off brands out there now, also with very decent quality...
Meanwhile, LEGO set prices just keep going up and up...

megablocks and kre-o were the north american 'legal' knockoffs.
former has license to pokemon, halo, star trek and others, while kre-o had transformers and gi-joe.
i have the kreo gi joe H.I.S.S. tank, a few transformers that got dumped in the box & a halo mantis mech.
lots of china fake brands. i only know my world as i got a lot of minecraft knockoffs until my youngest is like naw i ain't playing with this and separates lego from fake boxes

Growing up I never got brand new lego, let alone a complete set. They were all hand me downs from friends and coworkers kids that have out grown them. I remember getting a tote of used lego at a yard sale for no reason it was Xmas in July hahaha. As my parents got more financially comfortable, I was able to pick my own toys for bday/xmas but by then I have moved on to video games and rc cars.

As a kid, I only had one Lego Space set, and a handful of the 2x4 bricks. I made 'mechs' that would transform by rebuilding them into robot/airplane modes.
Contrast that to now, my kid has around a hundred sets, numbering around 45,000 pieces per the count on the Lego Builder app.

I loved those neon yellow pieces from the space sets in the 90s. Also super nostalgic when I googled images just now lol. I think I have a box of old Lego that I haven't touched in YEARS. Never had the heart to sell or donate them as I figured some day I'd give it to my kid(s).

If you’re even a little bit into Lego space this book is an absolute must buy, the story behind it and the guy responsible for most of it is absolutely fascinating: https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/s...2-book-5008313 | |

Just like cars, black sets are a bitch to upkeep. You’ll either need a display case or enjoy dusting. I’m dusting all my Batman stuff monthly, otherwise it gets so thick compressed air can’t get it off without breaking it. Then you’ll be dusting that shit with a brush like a cafe maid.
