“New Futuron theme was released one year later with the new uniforms and helmets. Like some Classic Space sets from 1986 and most from 1987, the vehicle sports the new Futuron color scheme with a white base color, black trim and transparent blue windows.”

“Largest Light & Sound ship. Two deployable bases, detachable rocket booster, rover, robot and two astronauts. Clever disguising of the battery box in the middle segment. It powered four lights and a sound brick. I like how the rocket booster can be attached directly to the... More cockpit.”
