(...) Thomas, I want a more complete 6990, and was mulling your offer over, but even I can't see going quite that high given the number of missing pieces. Just my opinion. Please do note that i recognise that you've replaced a number of them as best (...) (26 years ago, 26-Jan-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) That makes perfect sense. If you turn any electromagnetic motor, it will produce an electric current. I think this is the basic principle that hydroelectric power plants use. Even old Lego motors do this (I tried when I was a kid with many (...) (26 years ago, 26-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I was reviewing the LEGO Star Wars web site last night and I noticed the set description in 7128 (speeder bikes) included a reference to a helmet for Luke. Could this be an Endor-style helmet as seen in Return of the Jedi? This "helmet" can't be (...) (26 years ago, 26-Jan-99, to lugnet.starwars)
