Wow, I had this as a kid, and that actually explains all the extra parts I had lying around that I had no set to use for. The extra tyres, and a couple of big 6x4 inverted slopes in gray and trans-blue.
Now this is a review I’m glad to see. This set is one of my biggest childhood memories as 5 years old boy. At that time, the set was not odd for me, but a living dream. Newer had I got a Christmas present that large and with so much play value. One thing I clearly remembered was the front disk on the ship, it always felled off. Funny it happens for you too.
so glad to find out I wasn't the only one that had this set, during my childhood I remember building it and it took forever but now I think it's gonna take less
WOW! I thought the hinge pieces on the 'gas station' were fairly news parts, introduced in the last couple of years. I hadn't seen those until recently. Thanks for sharing!
that looks like some kid design (young me?), kid that would brake apart old models and make something new (that not necesary make sense) to play with :D
According to my collectors guide the set is called „Delta Spacecraft“. It was only sold until Dec 31 1983 in Denmark, Germany, France and Great Britain as a Persil Promo.
In Germany this was available as a complete set. I actually like this one a lot and, as a child, I really never cared for it's relative strangeness even compared to other space models of the time. To me this was an exploration vessel, searching for previously undiscovered planets and making some tests to see if they had resources or would even be habitable. Oh, and the grill pieces were clearly ladders for easy access to the respective parts of the ship.
I call Classic Space Futuron MK 1, because it uses the same logo. I think Mars Mission is a special Operation Futuron did, and the astronaut from Series 1 of Lego Minifigures is a member of Futuron, and the galactic Girl from series 5 is a female Futuron member and the astronaut from series 15 is a member of Futuron. And the Galaxy Patro, from series 7 is a Elite Futuron solider (EFS). Also The Lego Jacket with the Futuron Logo on the top right corner is actually an old Futuron Mission Control Jacket. And the green spacemen from the Exo Suit are members of Futuron. Like if you agree.
I have this one thanks to my dad who was lucky enough to find it when it came out and now it's in my basement but I think I'm gonna put it back together tomorrow
Here is my personal review of this set from the comprehensive classic space reviews that I did last year: Type: Ship with removable buggy and ground unit Size: Large. 304 pieces and 2 minifigs (1 red and 1 yellow). My History: I bought extra copies of 6929 and 6880 to get the pieces to build this set during my second Lego acquisition phase. The 6929 was missing the signal paddle and the black mod-plate with handlebars that belonged in the cargo box, so I couldn't quite finish the ground unit. Instructions and build: There is a major mistake in the instructions. The 1x3 plates added in step 9 are initially shown to be white, but step 11 reveals that these plates are actually yellow. Sturdiness: The design is terribly unstable. The wing frames tend to come apart at the front corners. The engine brackets fall off easily. Many other pieces fall off easily. The hinge system that holds the buggy in place doesn't hold it well. I wouldn't want to turn this puppy upside down. This is the complete opposite off its daddy (6929), which was an incredibly solid design. The ground unit with its triple cone tower and arm feels like it will fall apart if I look at it the wrong way. Design: A hodgepodge, a dog's breakfast. In short, a dud. It looks like somebody took 6929 and 6880 and told their 9 year old to build something using all of the pieces, but the kid eventually gave up. Contrary to some reports, it does not use all of the pieces from these sets. There is a small pile of leftover pieces. I don't know what that ground unit is supposed to be, but it is the ugliest monstrosity that the Lego folks have ever released. There was a reason that I skipped this one in my first acquisition phase, and only completionists should bother with the investment. Playability: The general idea of a large ship that can carry a double armed buggy is sound, but the execution is so bad that it isn't fun to play with. It has several weapons for wartime use. Two engine pod guns, two wing-tip guns, and the oversized front dish beam weapon could do some real damage if the rickety ship survives long enough to fire a shot. I doubt that it would. Final Thoughts and Rating: 3/10. Enough said.
hey I am look for certain colors of pieces on brick link however i can't find them and I would think these are pretty common colors and I was wondering if you could tell me if these color names have changed dark stone grey medium stone grey light stone grey bright blue,yellow, red brick yellow tr fl reddish-orange any help would be great i got these names off the lego designer program and brick set

I love the old space minifigs!
6929 is one of my alltime favourites from LCS. I revamped it, but it's still my first one from '81, never put apart.
Would love to see the original space models set layout! :D super cool model from back in the days, looks like a fun set to play with.
I have all the pieces from this set from a big bag of old Lego I got a while back!!!
hey Jang, thanks for showing me another old set that I had never seen before, I love the space lego classic line,
WOW!

It's funny watching a lego haul video and then watching you review the things you got.

Dude I have always wanted one
looks cool

Ow my, they did produce some strange stuff back in the day. If i had to guess this would have been a 70s set ;).
wow cool
translucent plate i didn't even know lego made that cool
man i wish i had your classic space collection !!!!
Lego Forestman same
Really the same for me, REALLY
One thing I noticed, is one of the 'antennas' on the Rover was light Bluish-gray.
Hey Jang, I suggest you to create a custom space dropship for your space military. Just a suggestion :)
Here is my personal review of this set from the comprehensive classic space reviews that I did last year:

hey super cool
nice
On the third build the ATM thing it should give instructions .
those balloon tyres. in my lego box i have got 24 of them in total
can we see it with the other sets all together?
A great set, which could be greater if some design mistakes wouldn't be ;)
Wait, is this an alternate build for the two sets or just an obscure unnamed set that uses the parts of 2 sets? I got really confused.
It's not an alternate build, so it is the second one
i think this set is also called lever bros on brickipedia
Nice unintended(?) David Bowie reference at the beginning, JANG. A "Space Oddity" indeed; both the set and the artist.
I can't be the only one that thinks it's hilarious how he calls them "dudes" 😂
If it's a gas station then where is the octan logo
that is one weird set I red that it was an offer from the soap maker Persil in the UK.
hey I am look for certain colors of pieces on brick link however i can't find them and I would think these are pretty common colors and I was wondering if you could tell me if these color names have changed
dark stone grey
medium stone grey
light stone grey
bright blue,yellow, red
brick yellow
tr fl reddish-orange
any help would be great i got these names off the lego designer program and brick set
This set is called the lever bros
i thought the "gas station" was a mini rocket launch site
SPACESHIP!!!!!
The minifigs look like ketchup and mustard
Hey Jang, what happened to your custom hospital that you were working on?
