I was on Dave's Lego Space Collection when I saw this little gem.
(Clicking through Dave's site I found nothing but broken links. I don't know why this was still available.)
Holy smokes...6843...6873...What and how? What do the small asterisks mean?
Raketskib is Danish for Rocket Ship, and Mineral fartøj is Danish for Mineral Vessel.
If you frequent Brickset, I assume you may have seen it as well.
So I did some investigating...because if these exist...
After snooping around I found this Eurobricks forum post and came to the disappointing realization that I had dug up a decade and some years old Lugnet Prank.
Still; well played Dave.
I'm pretty sure that Classic Space Sets from 1982 and 83 will complete the Mystery models in that fake pamphlet. To that end I've compiled a small list for my guess as to where those pieces came from.
If you want to try building Dave's Classic Space deception, I suggest starting with these three models.
Cosmic Cruiser
Galaxy Commander
Supply Station
So...that was a pleasant diversion, I hope you enjoyed not sifting through the internets looking for things that don't exist. That's all for now folks.

Dave here. I just stumbled across this blog post during a Google search for 1526! I was feeling nostalgic after being gifted a boxed 1593 today for an early birthday gift. Anyway, sorry to dash your dreams. That was one of the first projects I made in Photoshop in the late 1990s. It was rather evil of me and it actually ended up being added in a few of the major online databases before it was later removed. Cheers. <3
Thanks for dropping by Dave. You got me all excited for a few hours once upon a day. Well played.
