Hey everyone,
I'm new around here! I've very much enjoyed being a lurker for the past few months on this awesome forum but I finally decided to make an account and get posting. :)
I wanted to make a thread about Mr Oz's Space bus because I haven't seen it spoken of here within the context of space themed lego sets. I have to say I really, really like this set. I left off a few of the stickers and I'm thinking about swapping the yellow bus parts out for white and blue. It gives me a huge mid 90s space theme vibe (reminiscent of Exporiens) and it was an absolute pleasure to build. It doesn't have a ton of play features but I still find myself taking it off my living room bookshelf all the time to open the bay doors, detach the swappable parts, open the big front hatch and spin the radar disc while my 1 yr old watches enthusiastically. :) It looks fantastic and it's very swooshable/solid.
To me it's a really exciting set because it gives a small glimpse of what Lego could do with a totally new unlicensed space theme. For anyone who is on the fence about this set... if you like mid 90s space themes then you'll probably love it! If you haven't yet, go check it out.
Has anyone else picked it up and been pleasantly surprised? and if Lego made a new unlicensed space theme, do you think It would try to capture the wackiness of mid 90s space or return to a more "grounded" feeling like classic space went for?
