LEGO Has Been Good to SPACE! - a photo on Flickriver

On the right is the original YV-9a Sylaxian, still together after all these years. On the left is the updated model, with the deep dish cockpit box, better integrated landing gear, more detailed cockpit and internal structures, and more purple.

The original represented the extent of my collection of Dark Purple at the time - four types of parts spread across two sets. One was Ram Rod of Racers fame, the other was the Exo-Force set Dark Panther. Later I got 5982 Smash 'n' Grab from Space Police III, but I never parted it out.

But thanks to the Buzz Lightyear movie and other sets, I've expanded my dark purple collection quite a bit. After a comment from Zoe about these weird triangular parts, I decided to dig the Sylaxian out for an upgrade.

I'm not sure the TNG canopy works with the rebuild, but remember I probably can't see the green component, so it looks more yellow to me than anything else. That didn't come along until an Agents set, I believe. I think some kind of toxic helicopter or something.

I apologize for the harsh lighting. This is just a quick upload. I'll have proper pictures once I set up a better photography spot.
