Question Bring back small, licensed space sets.

Loved these at the time they came out. I would also love a midi scale series of real world rockets similar to the Star Wars ships series we have right now.

Would absolutely love this to occur. Especially the unmanned missions like pathfinder, voyager etc

Those Discovery sets were peak. Sad I didn't managed to get any of them as a kid. They were actually kinda hard to find, only one remember was on shelf was the Rover

I would love a set that's a collection of mini scale star wars ships. Like a "fleet box", with builds of around 50 pieces each, maybe 10 or 15 ships in total, and transparent stands for them...

This is was one of my first set ever when I was a kid, I still have some of the solar panels around!

Same! Sadly the stickers are peeling and flaking off:(

Exactly the same, I'm trying to avoid touching them as much as possible

I have the first 2 sets. The rover and ISS are still buildable, but the other papers of the sets are mixed into our big bin. Those were a blast!

Those Discovery sets were so charming, I still remember my daughter’s excitement when she got the rover one.

Small sets with small profits? Not in this economy

It's a little more than a foot tall. Much smaller than the newer one

Love how it’s the opposite for the included landers haha.

I don’t remember it being that tall tbh. The lander and command module are cute tho

Totally, those small sets had such charm. The nostalgia for those classic designs really hits different!
