Hi all,

http://home.t-online.de/home/gierse-gmbh/bilder/news2003/

shows the new sets form 2003. Great stuff in my opinion:

- Micro Star Wars Sets
- New Star Wars Sets
- Oriental theme [Build your own Alquaida battlefield ;-) ]
- nice parts in Creator sets

I would say, the quality of sets is getting better in 2003!

Kind regards form Germany,
Holger

(...) My jaw has dropped. Though I don't really like the look of the TIE bomber as much as either of the two other TIEs. Looks too much like the TIE bomber I made I guess :). I really like the nano scale SW stuff though. (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)

Man I love this time of year. :D 4477: Looks like a mix of gray and white with dark gray wings. Good little set IMO. 4478: Ok. This is where it gets REALLY cool.

  Re: New Sets 2003
 
Gotta agree with you Holger, this looks like the best new year's sets in a long time. Even the Racer stuff looks cool! The Star Wars selection is good considering how few major vehicles are left (AT-AT anyone?) and the mini sets are particularly (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)

  NBA LEGO: Minifig skintone issue apparent;y settled
 
With these new images of the upcoming LEGO NBA basketball sets, it seems that the issue of minifig skintone has been put to rest. Those of us holding out for darker-colored minifigs will have to settle for making these ourselves out of rare parts (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)
  Re: New Sets 2003
 
(...) Agreed. Delicious. Looks like quite a few trans 1x2x5 bricks....clear (b-ball) and yellow (at-te). Brown plane windows. Brown 1x4 arches. Quite a few smaller sets too. Jonathan (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)

Am I mistaken, or does the close up of the basketball guy show that the new basketball minifigs have SPRING LOADED LEGS??!! (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)
  Re: New Sets 2003
 
Wow, some awesome stuff. With this and the reissued Black Falcon's Fortess, I can already see next year becoming an expensive lego year for me. God knows how I'll be able to pay my way through the year with Bruce Springsteen on tour as well! The new (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)

As I was in the middle of going through the pictures you posted, I started getting 404 errors telling me the files could not be found. I had only gotten through about 5 of the pictures, so it was quite a let-down when I started getting errors. Have (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) I just used some time to find this thread again and was surpriced, that it never was x-posted to Year2003, even if its the obvious place to look for it.
