  • I might be less critical if the new roof piece (apparently 8 studs long) is like this element rather than this element. That would be cool, especially WRT the smoke window section. If not, I’ll file it into the “missed opportunity” bin, which is badly overflowing;-)

I’m doing a wait and see on this.

It would look to be the curved elements used on the Millenium Falcon escape pod, judging from the ends. Sadly, this means they are nigh useless for anyone making 8-wides, but for 6-wides, they should prove quite nice, and lighter than all those 2x3’s (though I dare say having a ton of those in white would prove interesting).

No need to wait or hope for an 8-wide curved roof element.

Take a look at the new airliners: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=7893-1

Particularly this piece:

Now to just hope they produce it in black, dark bley, and light bley.
