Nostalgia

Ahhh... Wish I'd gotten more from those old themes, like Rock Raiders, Alpha Team, Insectoids, etc. So what I'm going to do every now and again is post pictures of the sets I got from an old theme, along with the one set that I wish I'd gotten (I apologize to CzaR if this is too similar to what you're doing). :)

 

So first up: Insectoids

 

I believe the only set I got from this was the Beta Buzzer:

I think I got two, though, so that made up for all the rest that I missed.

 

The one that I want the most:

 

So many of these sets came with so many good parts that I'm going to have to put two; the Planetary Prowler...

... and the Celestial Stinger.

Oh, how I wish I'd had an allowance back in '98...

OMG! I think I have every one of these, and some of the other big sets, like the giant bug! Granted, they are all strewn about my lego bins, but there none the less. :)

The Celestial Stinger is an awesome set. I got it for Christmas back when it was new. Light up functions and magnets FTW!

I totally had the Planetary Prowler at one point. Ah, for the days when Costco sold Lego at ridiculously low prices...

Oh, I envy you Roa. All of those sets came with amazing pieces.

Yeah, Lego should re-introduce magnets. I only got a handful.

Oh yeah, Costco... Sweet store. Brings back memories.

 

 

I wish I had been at least 6 in '98.

Because they'd have been easier to build, or something else?

I've always thought the insectoids were awesome. But, this was about the time I was just getting into LEGO, so I didn't really find out about any of these really old themes until they were discontinued.

 

But let me tell you, this theme would have been a fave just from the looks of it.
