(...) You guys are making me smile now. And poor Dak, smiling blindly only moments before the big squish. Oh well he went out feeling like he could take on the whole Empire himself. And yes Johnny Thunder ought to be smiling too. Mark L (26 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.starwars)

(...) I'll second that. Nothing makes me feel more like a happy little kid than a Lego smiley. That's a big reason why the Snowspeeder is my favorite Star Wars set- that smiling rebel.

(...) Those were the good old days. A lego was a lego head, and they'd work anywhere. No stupid snarly faces, or snaggle-tooths, or constipated star heroes. Just uniform plastic happiness. :) Steve (26 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

Well, given that the Adventurers theme has so far depicted a world where mummies wander tombs and jungles are filled with perilous giant spiders, I imagine that any arctic setting would be "livened up" with a similar bit o' fantasy.
