Description

Mission control on the ground

Spaceships need someone to steer them, and that is exactly the job of this command centre. Its 193 pieces form a compact headquarters on a flat baseplate, staffed by four minifigures. The set shows the side of the space theme that has less to do with flying than with monitoring and radio. It therefore makes a good counterpart to spaceships from the same line, with which the crew can stay in contact. The build itself is plain, yet easy to recognise.

Blue, light grey and glowing windows

Blue, light grey and black shape the look, joined by trans-yellow parts that suggest screens and lamps. With 54 distinct parts there is more variety than you might expect from 193 bricks. That leaves room for details such as antennas, consoles and windows. The mix of cool colours and yellow lights is a trademark of Classic Space, and it makes the set a coherent eye-catcher on a shelf as well.

What “flatplate” means

The addition in the name points to a variant: the set evidently existed in more than one version, and this one stands on a flat plate. If you collect sets completely or want to compare variants, take care over which version you buy. The parts list on this page applies to exactly this version and helps you match the details against your own copy, before you reorder bricks or check a second-hand offer. In the end that saves time and needless questions.

Check the parts and keep building

Further down you will find all 193 parts with colours. If you already own the bricks, “What can I build?” shows which other sets you could put together completely or almost completely from them. The blue and grey plates and bricks also suit stations, vehicles or landing pads of your own. Alongside Galaxy Explorer or Space Cruiser from 1979 you get a small fleet complete with a ground station, which you can arrange and rebuild as you please.
