There was a film or cartoon which inspired Blactron 1 series of LEGO, what was it name ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.73.63.95 ( talk) 15:52, 5 July 2011 (UTC) I heard that LEGO couldn't make non-Star Wars spaceships anymore, which is why LOM was all vehicles (plus the Space Shuttle, which is shown crashing). Anyone else heard this too? Did LEGO ever say anything official? Nagyss 17:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Should the Meteor Monitor even be considered Blacktron? It has a Blacktron mini-figure, but that's it, and it came two years after the last official Blacktron set. I don't think it's legit Blacktron. Thus Blacktron spans the years 1987-1988. -- Globe199 02:44, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
I've changed occurances of the word "race" with "space agency" in pre-UFO sections because I see no reason not to assume that all participants of the Space theme are humans working for different organizations that operate in outer space, i.e. space agencies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_agency —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathmare ( talk • contribs) 13:34, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
I am curious as to why set numbers and their basic descriptions do not have links to pictures of the sets. Listing the sets without links to their pictures makes for less useful information.
Another reason to link the set names to pictures of the sets is that Wikipedia takes Lego Space words like "space shuttle" and "scooter" and links to entries that are not Lego sets. For example, there is now a link for 6940 Alien Moon Stalker, and Wikipedia made three links from that set name: one for each word in that set name, each having nothing to do with Lego. See the article.
I had never heard that the female minifig was called the Gypsy Moth. Was this name not introduced to North America? Also, at least one catalog in North America termed the Insectoids leader as a queen. Check this link: http://www.peeron.com/catalogs/1999/sah/46/
I see no reason why both "Gypsy Moth" and "queen" cannot coexist in the article. - Dr. Spamcake 2006/8/6 21:18 PDT
I remember her refered to as "Queen Gypsymoth" 71.234.123.137 ( talk) 23:57, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
I found proof that Lego Insectoids is not the last Lego space theme and that Lego Life on Mars is the last.
The early parts about Lego "themes" and perceived "primitvity" should be rewritten. Lego wasn't a new company in the 1970's, and had actually in practice had several themes released before that. 惑乱 分からん 13:59, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm just expressing opinion here...I thought the very first dark grey pieces were those used in the "big ugly rock" pieces in 1992's castle set "Wolfpack Tower". This would make the quiet introduction section obsolete. Did the writer mean dark grey usage in the Space System, specifically? I didn't change anything - please review this.
From the page:
This is surely incorrect, as Lego Pirate theme had non-standard heads earlier than Space Police.
I have edited to It was the first Space set to replace the Lego standard smiley face minifig head with a more complex graphic (in this case, the face augmented by a fringe of hair and an ear-mounted microphone)

In a recent LEGO Magazine, a lot of storyline information about the new Mars Mission was released, detailing the purpose of the Mars Mission among other things. I have added some of the new information because I thought the section was too short and dull. Then I realized that the sections on the other subthemes talk more about the sets and pieces than the storyline. Perhaps the other sections need some expanding... -- 72.76.90.236 23:33, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
I believe that the person that made the comment about Star Justice and the Space Skulls being a part of LEGO Space themes had made a good argument. However, one could also deduce that anything along the lines of AquaZone, AquaRaiders, and any other theme that is related to those two themes, as well as other themes like Power Miners and Rock Raiders (namely due to the Insectrons being possible enemies of theirs originally even though no Insectrons were included in the final sets) and possibly even the Alpha Team could and should be considered as part of the LEGO Space canon. Just because Ice Planet 2002 was not on a typical rocky styled moon or planet (instead, its planet was made of ice) does not negate it as a part of LEGO Space and, in like fashion, the AquaZone and other related organizations, Rock Raiders, Power Miners, and maybe even Alpha Team should not be similarly dismissed as part of LEGO Space canon for taking place underwater, underground, or even in the near future as opposed to some barren moon or planet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jal11180 ( talk • contribs) 14:08, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Star Justice and Space Skulls were not 'sold or market' under space theme. Both sets created by two afol's (Adult Fans of Lego) with the help from Lego. They were sold under Lego Factory brand/theme. GoTLG ( talk) 19:09, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
It does not matter. They are still taking place in space, thus they deserve a special mention, as do the other LEGO themes called AquaZone, and its five factions called Aquanauts, Aquasharks, Aquaraiders, Hydronauts, and Stingrays, Rock Raiders (for even on the PS1 game it mentioned that this theme took place on another planet, thus making it a prime candidate for LEGO Space material), and three newer themes such as the ExoForce, Power Miners, and maybe even the Alpha Team series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jal11180 ( talk • contribs) 21:02, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
I added a citation needed tag to that phrase. I do think it is true, but I think the article could use a reference to something that officially confirms that the reason space was first canceled was to make room for Star Wars, if no official source can be found then it might be better to remove that phrase. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.103.67.198 ( talk) 20:41, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Possibly true, but there is no proof of that. Other themes have been introduced and removed. BobaFett2 (talk) 13:48, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
I want to point out that Lego Space became discontinued last year (as the article says). Therefore, it should be in the discontinued section of the Lego Category (at the bottom of the article). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Esone ( talk • contribs) 18:10, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Space Police III and Mars Mission (the former is still going, the latter has been discontinued) are considered to be Space. By that reasoning, the theme is still active. BobaFett2 (talk) 13:47, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

I disagree about the merger here. Lego Space is basically considerad an "evergreen" theme, which have been consistently in production for decades, if you count in city-based astronaut themes or Star Wars sets, new space-themed sets have been released annually, and they have on a rule been good sellers for more than three decades. 惑乱 Wakuran ( talk) 18:07, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
The X-1 should be marked as US/Canada or north america only. Theres no europe catalog which shows this set from 1979 to 1985! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.231.157.153 ( talk) 09:41, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
Okay, so recently there were some edits that moved Life on Mars, Mars Mission, Alien Conquest, Launch Command, Space Port, and City Space to the Lego Town list page. I kind of get those last three since officially, those are Town/City subthemes. However, I would argue that they still deserve a detailed mention on this page because the nature of the sets is highly relevant to other space themes. Heck, if you even check the official Lego Space webpage right now, they've got a set from City Space right there.
But those first three themes I mentioned should definitely belong here above all else. I don't care that the astronauts sort of resemble Town/City Astronauts, and I don't care that Alien Conquest takes place in a Lego city. That's not the point at all. The subject matter is space. People aren't looking to add to their Lego town by adding these sets. And people looking for space sets need to see those themes right beside all the other space themes. Anything else is confusing and misleading because of semantics. So I'm moving those three back to their original spot, and the three City subthemes are going back as well in a separate section.-- ApolloVI ( talk) 04:36, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
Do you have any references that a Lego Mars theme ever existed? There are none. There were however two fiction-based space themes that took place on Mars. Town/City has always had realistic themes and Space has always been about fictional themes. It should be noted that Space has not been an official theme in years, just a designer and community used term. So find me a single source citing Lego Mars was ever a theme and I will let it stand.
Alien Conquest is also usually considered Space by most official sites and users. It is definitely not City but my opinion is that it was more of an independent theme in line with Agents. Yosemiter ( talk) 21:25, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

I can find no hard evidence that any space sets were available in 1978. The earliest catalogue I can find which shows them is from 1979.
