Hmm… must be part way through the change or just some sets got selected for change.

All the city sets have been changed to space exploration, I specifically remember
them being space port.

Space Exploration - For items from various main themes like City, Creator
or Technic that feature the scientific exploration of space.

Space Port - For a sub-theme of town sets and related items released primarily
in 1999.

----------

When the LEGO Group outdid themselves with their "Space" jam this year,
we had to make some changes to make sure that the 1999 sub-theme was not lost
in the madness.

Cheers,
Randy

Thanks for the explanation!

Had a hard time finding it though.
