Hello, Eurobricks! Longtime lurker, first-time poster, etc.

I'm diving into the forums for one reason, and one reason only: To track down and exhaustively understand the LEGO Space shared universe.
In particular, the "Golden Age" from 1987-1999, when LEGO went launched multiple factions and concurrent themes. The Space Timeline thread has been tremendously informative, and I expect to spend more time following that discussion. In addition, some day my dream is develop a short animated series set within the LEGO Space universe, spanning every single one of the classic pre-2000 space themes (including some Aquazone and Seatron, of course).

I look forward to getting more involved now! Oh and while we're on the topic, here's a small MOC from my Flickr:

Hello John! Welcome to the "active" part of the community!  It seems we have an overlap in our favourite space era here, as you can guess from my avatar. Mine starts and ends a bit earlier. About 5 years on either side. 

Btw. Very cool picture. The lighting is superb!

Thank you! I was going for that classic 80s sci-fi red-blue dual tone. 

And of course I gotta give some love to Blacktron- still casting a shadow on Space minifigs decades later.
I've actually had a loose theory recently as to what could go with their name- what if their suits were coated in Vantablack? Terrifying!
