Similarly, a white Classic space astronaut with a jetpack was featured on a tourist's shirt in 8970 Robo Attack. It was also featured on several jackets of Town minifigures which first appeared in 4513 Grand Central Station from 2003. The Classic Space logo later reappeared in sets of Futuron and Space Police I.LL stands for LegoLand, which is the theme that Classic Space was a part of before becoming the actual Space theme.Later, 70816 Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! uses this same type of marking, with it's apparent designation being LL-929, which is also a continuation of a pattern in these ship designations.

Several of the ships in the Classic Space theme have a designation on their hulls, consisting of LL-and a number.The statue of a Classic Space astronaut that appeared in 5974 Galactic Enforcer New sets in the style of Classic Space were still released until 1988, but those sets sported the Futuron colour scheme, although they still included the old minifigures with their visorless helmets. New parts, most notably the new visored helmets, were introduced as well as a distinct looking adversary faction, but it also reprised several elements of Classic Space such as the coloured spacesuits, the logo, and the concept of civilian space explorers, looking more like a visually updated continuation than a mere replacement. The advent of this new theme sounded the bell for the end of the Classic Space era. With the introduction of the 6929 Starfleet Voyager in 1981, there were also classic spaceships that appeared in white, with blue canopies, albeit this new colour scheme didn't really catch on until the introduction of Futuron in 1987. Most often, gray Space sets were paired with green windows, and the other predominant colour scheme was blue with yellow windows. Perfectly suited for utilitarian LEGO Space, gray had finally become a major colour for a LEGO theme, especially as more plate-type parts were made in that colour, even before LEGO Castle whose first predominantly grey castles were not introduced until 1984. Examples of these early simple sets include 462 Rocket Launcher (1978), and 442 Space Shuttle, and 452 Mobile Tracking Station (both 1979). Many of the theme's more specialized pieces had yet to be developed, although when Space was first introduced, many parts were new, or were older parts made in new colours. As LEGO Space expanded, the basic pattern of ground-buggies, walking robots, small and large spaceships, and bases emerged.Д®arly Space sets had a simplistically modern yet colourful charm unrivaled by any other mass-produced science-fiction toy of the time. Starting with spaceships and basic wheeled vehicles, the theme developed, occasionally mirroring science fiction designs. Although the theme used plenty of basic bricks, there were now parts with finer detail used in smoother looking ships and multi-purpose vehicles.Дespite curiosities such as steering wheels used to direct spacecraft, and often no inflight pilot protection other than a spacesuit (with a visorless helmet), simple new constructs sparked builders' imaginations. Compared to the LEGO Company's previous spaceflight-related sets ( 801 Space Rocket in 1964, 358 Rocket Base in 1973, and 565 Moon Landing in 1976), this new theme of sets boasted new parts and building techniques never before seen in LEGO sets. The first LEGO Space sets were a leap forward in LEGO design. Some of the first Space sets in a catalog from 1979
