The Pinnacle of Classic Space LEGO — “The LL928 "Explorer" starship is the stuff of LEGO legend, and while many love it just for its nostalgic value. When completed, the set looks great. The ship is a little blocky by today's standards, but still sleek enough, and the moonbase is well done despite its small... More size. The famed baseplates are just as awesome as I expected, and it all just works.”

“Overall, I think this is an amazing set! No matter how old this set feels, it is a timeless set that will never look old in any collection. The set is simple yet very appealing, the ship looks really nice and picking it up makes me want to just fly it around! The ship... More doesn't need any fancy shmancy flick fire or spring misses, it doesn't need to be complex to be fun or appealing to the eye. The simplicity is what makes this set unique.”

About Space Classic

Classic Space began in 1978, the same year as the LEGO minifigure, and it was one of the first three themes to use it, along with Castle and Town. The astronauts came in red and white at first, with yellow, black and blue added in the 1980s, all in the same suit with the planet logo on the chest and an air tank on the back. Unlike almost every space line after it, Classic Space had no villains, only explorers with rovers, rockets, lunar bases and grey crater baseplates.

Classic consists of 90 sets that ran from 1978 to 2015. As of today, 926 Command Center is the most valuable Classic set with an estimated new/sealed value of $4,822.

Summary

Space Classic Space Cruiser And Moonbase set 928 was released in April 1979, retailing for $33, but has since been retired. New, unopened Space Cruiser And Moonbase sets are valued at $3,248, while used sets can be found for $179.
