(...) Thanks for the comments, Mark. The calves are actually as thick as they possibly can be while allowing enough clearance on the front (above the foot) and in the back (retracting up to the thigh) so the MOAB can squat down low enough to fit in (...)

(...) Clark, I have a yellow 1x4 with a black grille. It came in set 166 Vehicle Extra parts pack. The printing is very overdone, the two headlights on each side run together. I'll get a pic, or scan, of it in the next couple of days. I think Eric (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jul-05, to lugnet.general)

So, I picked up the first 'generic' set I've bought since I was a wee little kid. You know what? I actually missed having creative little themed sets. I may actually pick up two or three more of this sets just for more parts to build bigger things. (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jul-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) Hi Vineet. In what way did you atached the extra tubes (there were a few cm of back and blue tubing left over after I cut the size I needed - I assume you are referring to those). Thanks, Gyl (21 years ago, 1-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic)
