Classic Space Police Score

[RunnersDad]

I purchased a lot of Lego earlier this week for a very fair price. I only looked at it superficially before taking it home but could tell it contained about 15 pounds worth of late 80's and/or early 90's pieces. To my surprise when I got home I noticed immediately what looked to be a plethora of Space Police green glass pieces which could only have been from set 6984!

Sure enough after about 4 hours of labor, and it seriously took that long having to sift through 15 pounds of Lego for different pieces, I had a complete set! I only had to borrow 1 piece from my existing inventory which I think is pretty impressive.

Still have the rest of the lot to piece together but this already made my week!

That ship i sitting on my shelf as my pride and joy from when I was younger.

It was my favourite, and I still remember saving up to it and buying it.

Great playabilit as well.

Congratulations on your score :)

Thanks. I was around 10 when this set came out but my parents were too frugal to spend money on the bigger more expensive sets. All I could do was look at it on the store shelf and the pages of Lego magazine. As I get older and stumble upon some of these older sets in lots I buy it's amazing how cool they actually are in hand. If I enjoy it this much at 31, I can only imagine how cool it would have been to get this and similar sets at 10!

Sweet! I haven't been so lucky in finding bulk LEGO. I had an assortment of all of the late 80s/early 90s Space sets, but none of the larger sets. I'd love to get the flagship set of each of the old space themes.

Have fun with your LEGO!
