(...) Those are the best ships I have EVER seen! They actually look real, and they are far better than anything TLG has come up with, be it an actual set or not. One thing though: What are those green/yellow tubes on the back of the first ship? Greg (...) (27 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

|

I was shopping today and found a interesting little toy store that I hadn't seen before. I went in and they had lots of the new sets, but lo and behold they had a MIMB 6090 Royal Knight Castle, but it was $115 dollars. The lugnet database gave a (...) (27 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

While I'm not a "Mozillionaire" either, I have done well in the Stock Market in the last 5 years (thanks partly to the pending sale of my former employer - Ameritech). I plan on retiring in about 7 years (I'll be 53), and devoting my fulltime (...) (27 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

I've added a few more spaceships to my web page. These were constructed (and photographed) nearly a decade ago when I was still at school. More recent MOCs will come when I get hold of a digital camera... (URL) well everyone, Paul (27 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

| | new pneumatic cylinders?
|

I built the 8448 last week. Clever set, fun to build. Last night I picked it up, and the gull-wing doors wouldn't open. Turns out the new 'pneumatic'/'hydraulic' cylinders were both broken, the springs had pushed down into the cylinders. Apparently, (...) (27 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

(...) I like this idea, but I think a self-regulated restriction would be better than a system-imposed limit, for several reasons: 1. Todd doesn't have to develop the solution. 2. It's a simple, measurable way for Jonathan to show (in)compliance. 3. (...) (27 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.starwars)
