yes, it is a Lego set, but what is it called?
this has to be my favorite Lego set EVER, and one of my all time favorite toys.

In a strange coincidence, I had about 3 or 4 friends in elementary school that all had the same Lego Grand Prix Raceway set. We used to put 'em together and make things like pedestrian bridges for little people to watch the racers fly under and stuff.

Really. I went shopping for a toychest for my niece and stopped by the Lego display; all either Duplo or that damn Bionix shit. /vomit
When i was little people gave me lots of lego for birthdays etc. After i'd made the set i'd leave it for a few days but then pull it apart and put it in ths big plastic tub.
Making stuff from that tub was awesome, i had spacemen and pirates and little soldier dudes fighting, and a pirate ship with laser cannons...mixing stuff up was so much better than the original sets.

Lord Error
Insane For Sony
I got both a bunch of those generic ones, and some sets. I used to mix and match them all the time and make some crazy crap, even using some electric motors from my broken toys (as I didn't have the real lego motors)

You guys just reminded my why I didn't like letting my little girl cousins in my room when I was little. They always got a handle on my lego sets, lost half the pieces or broke them, and then left me with a room full of plastic bits and pieces. Oh how I hated them for that.

A mix is the best. Buckets are great for the generic pieces, but you're not going to get much in the way of flag poles, swords, monkeys, space men, or more uniquely shaped building blocks.dem said:
I remember the last time I paid attention to a GAF Legos thread... I went out and bought some buckets that were on sale, and then found my old ones stashed away. Haven't messed with them much since, but it was good fun.

these sets ruled.
I had the one on the top: the Beta 1 Command Base - what an awesome set.
the Beta 1 Command Base I think is the sucessor to the older an smaller 493
Space Command Center: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?q=493_1&v=z
in addition to the Beta 1 Command Base, I also had the very similar Intergalactic Command Base
then that 2nd set you showed, the Galaxy Commander, I never had it myself but my neighborhood & school friend did and I was jeleous over it, lol.
Galaxy Commander, in all its glory
even though I never got a Galaxy Commander, I DID get the Cosmic Fleet Voyager
Call me anal, but when I moved out of my parents' house for good, I did something really smart with my Legos. I took the huge plastic bin out of the closet and put together as many of the sets as I could. I was suprised to find that I had enough foresight as a kid to keep most of the instruction booklets. So, one by one, I built each set, then took them apart, put the pieces into Ziploc bags, and labeled them. I think that was one of the best things I'd ever done for myself. Took about 3 days.

I did manage to get many of the medium sized ships such as
the kewl Gamma-V Laser Craft
the beautiful FX-Star Patroller
the somewhat similar looking Light & Sound XT - Starship
and of course the classic Starfleet Voyager

I used to make some kick ass completely original spaceships with all of the black lego pieces I had from various sets and buckets I got throughout my younger years. Ahh, the memories...
