Mark de Kock: "I got the 6971 for my birthday. Took my birthday money to the shop and bought this one too. From null to two great bases in one day! :-)"
Scott Sanburn: "Interesting base. Great addition to any Space fan's collection!"
Joe Andersen: "nice little base - wish mine still had the flag ;)"
Jason Gates: "Would look great paired with an intergalactic command base. Contact me if you have parts for this set and want to sell a few."
Bill Brumbach: "I can't belive I still have the clear cup after all these years"
Brian Muzas: "I like the base in 493 and the 6861 ship better... still a good set"
Bill Ward: "Coolest Lego base ever!"
: "I love that the oversize video screen is showing 483."
Michael Kohan: "If I could have one set back that I owned as a kid, it would be this one. It literally brought a tear to my eye when all I could find of this set was the crater plates and the cracked main radar dish."
Fred Rueck: "Drooled over this as a 12 year-old; Got (Dec 02) near mint w/ box and all inserts, etc.!"
Ron Nab: "At last. This is the best base, same withe 6971 intergalactic base"
Alex Wingert: "Neat base. First space monorail!"
Arne Nielsen: "Found MISB in toy store 18th Feb 2004, 469 SKr (appx 65$)"
Allen Carley: "I remember having the mini-figs jump onto the rail car and drive it all the way.....4 inches...to the ship. IT was cool"
Fred Herrmann: "Got this for christmas 1980 instead of 926. Cool Station, but I had to wait 20 years for my first 926."
Erik B: "This was also the first set with WHITE 4x4x2 cones! Wonder how the view would be from the inside, laying comfortable on one of those relaxing beds...:-)"
David Foley: "My first space set. I played this thing to death."
Brian Reynolds: "I LOVE the classic space bases, but sadly the parts supply is pretty bare once you've exhausted the fun of the default model."
Adam Revell: "VERY fun!!! Another classic space!"
Edward: "the Netherlands: list price NLG 77.50, released april 1981"
George Eichholzer: "What a great SET! Didn't like the ship design though."
Neil Arellano: "Got it December 2005. Too busy to build until December 2006!"
Ricardo Cordon Bou: "1 with box"
Robb King: "Awesome, underrated set. Dunno about anyone else, but my Beta-1 Base was prone to ambush while the astronauts slept. :)"
Adrian Esdaile: "NorfolK Island 1983? Also awesome kit"
P F: "From Shea's collection. A solid, good looking command center with plenty of space and a big screen- extensive communications array helps keep in touch with Earth. The spacecraft is related to the X-1."
Marc Patterson: "cool monorail"
Dave: "If I recall correctly, I received this set for my 9th birthday. I never got 497, so this was the crown jewel of my collection throughout my childhood."
Dave Micklon: "Still don't have 493, but this looks slighly improved, with 2 crater plates, plus a cool mini-monorail."
Skip Robinson: "" My Precioussssss" Oh how I wanted this when I was 12...Thank goodness I found one 100% complete with box, flag and antenna! It only took me 30 yrs to finally get it!"
Wolf Read: "Great playability with lots of different working features. This is at the foundation of Classic Space. With some tinkering and a trans-yellow 6x4x2 canopy, I made an enclosed version of the spaceship."
Richard Kloosterboer: "my first space-base. I once replaced the rail with the monorail and I'll do that again someday."
Jeff Block: "You could almost build this fighter with the parts from 6861. The two are nearly the same size and firepower, and always form the base defense for my spaceports. Favorite space base!"
