It's just my opinion, but I think that the early Space sets , called the 'Classic' series was what started Lego on its way to world sci-fi toy domination. Sets like the Galaxy Explorer #497 http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=497-1 were launched right around the time that Star Wars hit the theaters and gave kids like myself the fancy space pieces we needed to build some fantastic Lego models.
