BrickList: Lego Space "Midi Small" sets from the 80s and 90s.
Lego Space "Midi Small" sets from the 80s and 90s.
These "small" sets were slightly larger than the "Small" and "Mini-Small" sets of my previous lists. The boxes for these sets were almost double the length of the small sets. The sets numbered in the 684x range and expanded to the 685x range in the 1990s with boxes that were more squarish.

1. 6841: Mineral Detector
The series started with this set in 1980. Unlike the "small" sets, this series seems to initially favour red minifigs.

2. 6842: Small Space Shuttle Craft
(1981) This was the midi-small set for the year. Notice again the red minifig. The set was also rather common, being given away in freebies and used in advertising.

3. 6844: Sismobile
(1983) The series skipped a year (1982) and a number (6843) so one has to wonder what was the midi-small set for that year. This is the first set with a white minifig in the series.

4. 6846: Tri-Star Voyager

6. 6848: Inter-Planetary Shuttle
(1985) This set is the second set this year in the series. It was not readily available, and from the looks of it is probably a US only set. It has the standard red minifig for the series, but departs from the jet-rover sequence for the series.

7. 6845: Cosmic Charger

8. 6849: Satellite Patroller
(1987) This is the last Classic Space set in the series, and it continues the jet - rover alternation. A yellow Classic Space minifig helms the vehicle in the year that the Futuron minifigs were introduced.

9. 6848: Strategic Pursuer
(1988) Notice that this is the second set to bear this set number, and this set was available worldwide. This set breaks the sequence of alternating between ground and air vehicles by introducing a Mecha. Note that this is also a Futuron set.

12. 6852: Sonar Security
(1993) The Space Police II theme launched in 1992, but it wasn't until a year later that the small and midi-small sets were introduced.
| 6852-1 |

1383 members own this set | 246 members want this set |
13. 6854: Alien Fossilizer
(1996) There were no Ice Planet or Spyrius or Unitron sets in this size, bu tthere was a number that was skipped. One has to wonder if it was an Ice Planet or Spyrius set that was unproduced. Exploriens was the next sub-theme to introduce a set in this size.
Note that there's also 6856 in the Exploriens theme, but that's for the next size up. UFO and Insectoids did not have a set in this size. The numbers 6855, 6857, 6858 and 6859 were not used.
