the Deadly spaceman rides again!

Post by Tuefish » Mon Sep 14, 2009 2:56 am

after many, many galactik revolutions, a scout ship and her escort suddenly appears from a strange time warp. Surveying the galaxy, the crew are shocked and confused by the destruction left by the various wars since the spaceman empire. These are the last vestiges of what was once a mighty, galaxy-spanning unified empire:

Seh-weet! You've done well at keeping the classic colors. The front of the Toad is really flat, though.

Haha, now that would be something. I feel sad for my kid having never known the old space lego and I've always wanted to re-build my favorite...

Hmm, maybe. One day.
