LEGO LEGO Classic Space

LEGO Space Classic: 6970 Beta-1 Command Base (1980 ) my holy LEGO grail

When I started recreating my old LEGO space sets, the one that I played with the most was completely destroyed … as it was the one I played with the most. It was set 6970 Beta-1 Command Base.

Now I’ve been lucky enough to find a set, with box no less, for a reasonable price as it was incomplete, but I had the missing parts myself.

I think this might have been my very firsty LEGO space set and if I try to remember what sets I had, in order, it was:

  1. 6970 Beta-1 Command Base (1980)
  2. 924: Space Cruiser (1979)
  3. 6928: Uranium Search Vehicle (1984)
  4. 6847: Space Dozer (1985)
  5. 6823: Surface Transport (1983)
  6. 6880 Surface Explorer (1982)
  7. 6825 Cosmic Comet (1985)
  8. 6872 Lunar Patrol Craft (1985)

The stickers were upside down, but fortunately the glue was very weak and they were easy to peel off.
