Very well done. I've thought about doing something similar to give my train a boost on an uphill.

It looks like a narrow gauge typical of mining operations

Very good article. I didn't realize how much had gone into turning TLG around over the past few years. It is some of these recent changes that brought me back into Lego! Now that I have a daughter I'm liking the look of these new sets and looking forward to many hours of Daddy-daughter lego time

Very nice work. Just passed on of these this evening and you pretty much nailed it.

Well they are blasting off in about 20 minutes Livefeed

Well according to the article TLG spent $5,000 a pop on those three, though I assume that would include the manufacturing costs + the expense of installation.

Just read this on GeekDad full article here Basically Lego has made 3 special aluminum mini-figs that are on the soon-to-launch Juno spacecraft that is heading for Jupiter. I hope they release them for sale too!

Yeah I was all over the Futuron stuff too. I got the monorail for Christmas. It was a huge surprise. It was in the Zeller (Canadian dept store) rewards catalogue and my mom saved up all her points to get it for me. I was super excited and spent all day putting it together and played with it for hours upon hours. I picked up most of the rest of the Futuron stuff in the couple years following. Even as I collected Space Police, M:Tron and Blacktron, Futuron was always the centre of my collection.

If you don't touch it, it doesn't fall apart. I find the fuel tank comes apart when I remove the boosters. I emailed Lego about the kit but haven't received a reply.

Perhaps you could somehow put them with the winter village sets

I have this one, there was another one with a 4 on it as well. I also had 6381 which came with a #2 & #3. The funny thing is, after nearly 20 years in a box, I busted them all out with my nephews just a few months ago and they still rock!

The Shuttle came available Mar 1 in NA. The others are due this summer.
