The silhouette of a Martian machine

My "grown-up" moment for the week: not bidding on a Lego Mars Rover on eBay even though it came to $10 below retail. I just don't need to be spending $85 on Lego right now. But I thought about it for a second

Self-control is resisting buying the nearly $200 in stuff saved in my Amazon shopping cart. Avatar seasons 1-3, Iron Man (2-Disc Special Edition), and Speed Racer.

oh, perhaps classic Lego space sets could tempt you. I salivate at these sets here. They are the ones I spent weeks playing with back in the day.

Beta 1 Command Center

Galaxy Explorer
(they are both on eBay currently)

When I was trawling eBay for Marscon legos a couple of years ago, I looked at these sets, but I couldn't justify spending the con's money on the sets I wanted when I could get five times more legos in the bulk lots.

Duuuude, the Galaxy Explorer was the first Space set I owned. My favorite old model of my own design was heavily influenced by it, and had many of the pieces.

Must... resist... nostalgia... attack...
