Up for your consideration is this vintage Genuine Lego Set #487-1 (US) Space Cruiser produced in 1978. This listing comes 100% piece complete, along with extra pieces/duplicates for your building enjoyment. Original Box and literature shown is included and correct (not copies). Lovingly preserved by our family as part of our eclectic life-long collection of oddities (check out my other listings for more unique and unusual finds!). Please view photos and condition description below as they are also part of the description.
Overall condition: USED IN "ACCEPTABLE" CONDITION. This set is 100% complete (pieces), although several pieces are replacement-Genuine Lego pieces, but not period correct color (several OLD GRAY pieces were missing or damaged-see list). I've included several extra pieces, including one complete extra white space suit man with backpack. All of the major pieces are period-correct original pieces-it's small bricks and two of the space stand supports that needed replacements that I could not find OLD GRAY replacements at my home for. They are available-I just wanted to present this set as it is. A few dents/minor play damage pieces (white 1x2/yellow 1x3-red backpack rear), overall good condition. Instructions are complete, although show wear-staples are missing to hold together. Box is complete, although has some packing tape (old) on sides that will stay, as removing will just leave sticky residue and damage box further. Nice set-shown in exploded piece view so that you can see what you are getting. Set is complete. Inner plastic box sleeve is loose (glue on edges has dried).
Replaced pieces: (1) 2x3 OLD GRAY replaced with Light Gray, (1) 2x4 OLD GRAY replaced with Light Gray, (2) Space Stand 2x2x2 OLD GRAY Supports were replaced with Dark Gray supports, (1) OLD GRAY Steering Wheel & (1) OLD GRAY Antenna were replaced (several extra light grays included of each). There may be a few other small pieces where the color is not period correct, but not many more than I've listed here. I've tried to list and present to the best of my limited knowledge.
Please note: I have done my best to describe these unique items as accurately as possible, although other minor imperfections may be present.
