  Found in bulk lot, no Lego or C on it.

Be sure to mention in your listing if you don't distinguish between the scores
of sub-types.

  For the Classic Space theme fans... and probably all LEGO fans in general, this
new book featuring photos and information regarding the Classic Space theme should
be a pretty good addition to your collection...

From the Amazon Pre-order listing description:

"An oversize full-color hardcover volume exploring the birth and early life
of LEGO Space-the iconic toy line that inspired imagination and exploration the
world over!"

A link to a short article about the book:

https://www.ign.com/articles/lego-space-1978-1992-art-book-dark-horse

Ooooh, exciting! This may be worth picking up.

I can't help but notice that the classic space logos are reversed. Hope this
art issue with the cover is fixed before this goes to print.

There's a radio in the foreground but not sure enough is visible to really
tell that it is backwards. Anyone spot other asymmetrical parts?

You know you're old when...

'Around the World in 80 Days' makes you think of the classic book while
others are fondly recalling video games.

Apparently, it's based on a novel of the same name

When I was younger we weren’t allowed to play to many games and we didn’t have
any consoles but this game was played so much!

Beyond learning and moving forward, regret is ill-spent energy. Be what you want
to be today.

Otherwise, I'm going with 'dumb penguin'.

Mine reached the 24-hour mark too but was finally accepted sometime overnight.
So, there's at least hope whatever process that is eventually completes.

Not a fan of this. Too many things that are not the least bit 'simplifying'
or convenient for BrickLink users.

How does lego.com know to tie an ID there to my Bricklink ID - only if the email
address is the same?

I've had my Bricklink identity since nearly day 1 and do not like the idea
of having it changed on me to suit some corporate initiative.

I also use my Bricklink email address exclusively for Bricklink transactions
to keep those communications separate from everything else I do online. I especially
don't want lego.com deciding what they are going to do with that email for
their own purposes (no opt-out option is ever fully honored.)
