(...) No spares here, I am afraid. However, the beauty of the blue tubs is that you can stack OR nest them WITHOUT lids. As I say -- "go topless" Obviously, the newer styles of LEGO tubs are less than useful this way and I give them away or melt (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

| | Alternate docking cradle for 6208 B-Wing

Hello, everyone. After building my new B-Wing kit, I thought the dock didn't look very practical, as it held the cockpit out of reach of both the ground and the dock platform itself. So, I used the same pieces to engineer a different dock that (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.starwars)

Hello, all! I've been away from Lugnet for a bit, but today a Lego Education catalog arrived which included set K779324 (1650 pcs, $109.95).
