Was this the coolest toy ever? Anyone else have one?
Or anyone a bit more flash and had the Galaxy Cruiser instead?
Takes me right back to being a kid again!

OMG !!!!!!
Yep, I had one, it was great !!! In fact, I've still got all of my Lego somewhere, minus the instructions, boxes and the odd piece that I'm sure I ate.

What could be cooler than that when your 8? Or even 38?
Never realised there was a jnr space cruiser...
Was the best lego set EVER. Last built in February this year*- need to get some bits of fleabay to finish it :oops:
*Not by me at my age, honest
There was a much smaller one as well. Like a intergalatic mini!
Though, I had that Galaxy Cruiser as well, and I'd forgotten about it. OMG also (and that's the first and probably last time I've used that expression).
A visit to my parents' attic may be in order. Or eBay. Christ. Mustn't become one of those weird collector-y people..
There are websites with PDFS of instructions online. I found most of the manuals for my Technical lego when I gave it away.
Then moved on to Technic Lego that JCB/digger was a absolute classic.
At one stage I even had one of these -
Technic Lego Robotic Control Center. Used to make cable cars that would go out of my bedroom window and down to the end of the back garden powered by the Technic electric motors.
Don't remember lego like this when I was younger though...

+1. I had all the Lego technic sets from that period starting with the first big car chassis (the red one). I still have them all in boxes too at my parents house! I used to build all sorts of things from big cranes, cars, lego railway, ships, etc. I have about 40 pics my mother took of me with them.
For a real work killing session visit www.lugnet.com. The Space stuff was after my time.
About ten years ago I bought the Lego F1 car as a pressie for someone. Couldn't believe how much more complex it was and how many new custom parts there were. Much more advanced. My young nephew now has a growing collection, best toy ever :-)

Oh dear, why did you have to mention EBay? There's now a big danger of me becoming a weird-collector type person, spending all of next months wages and being fired from my current job, cos I'm supposed to be working, not looking at retro Lego sets on the interweb!
i lost an entire days work looking at lego on ebay and the internet a few months back. happy to say i diodn't spend loads.
I was back at parents house ( left home 22 years ago ) and found a load of lego instruction books. i salvaged the lego from my dads shed last year.
I had the car chassis for christmas one year. took about 2 hours to build. had shedloads of space stuff but can't find the destructions for that
That was one of my favourite space Lego kits.
If the bottom left one had the droppable space pod, then I not only had it but I can still lay my hands on most of the instructions for it as well.
I have no need for it, no intention of ever playing with it but I FCUKING WANT IT SO BAD, JUST TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT!!!!
ebay's a curse :evil:
Amazing
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.
The only kits that didn't need building were the xwing and shuttle.
I've also got a couple of Lego Racers on my desk
