And if you needed any more convincing:

I believe the 70s-80s Engines are powered by a ton of Double AA batteries, but maybe the new ones are LiOn? Joyrex do you know? You guys are seriously making me consider buying a set for next Xmas.

 

If they made a Moon train or Star Wars train, the argument in my mind would be over, lol

They made a space monorail back in the 80s:

Pfft - OG LEGO Space is where it's at:

Yeah really, the 90s just added shit tons of fluorescent clear pieces.

Now, don't get me wrong - there were some badass LEGO Space sets in the 90's my younger self would have killed to have:

There's an excellent LEGO set database site here: https://brickset.com/sets

I could easily spend an afternoon awash in nostalgia...

There is no such thing as bad LEGO memories, lol. My friend Nick, who unfortunately passed away, would cover his room in those moon base plates, and have slumber parties where we stayed up all night building as middle schoolers. Whoever passed out first got their hand in warm water.

i had some of those m-tron and blacktron sets as a kid.  i always wanted the old space monorail set :(

The 80s space sets were the shit, at least the blue astronaut lives on in the LEGO movies.
