The quote above is from one of my NLF:s, after he saw my newly purchased 1182. The thing he found so fun, was the fact that the building instructions show the scorpion attached to the end of a chain, which in turn is attached to the raft. I had no (...)

(...) Where did you buy that set? I've never seen it before. You should take his comment as an inspiration to design a scorpion-towed vehicle. The scorpion is very much neglected by animal-towed vehicle builders. But how many would you need? (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

I bought it, along with nine other small sets, on Crete (I was there, and I had some cash left over, and figured the best way to get rid of them was to spend them on LEGO ^-^). If you're curious, this is what I found: 1184 1185 1182 1186 3055 (in a (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) You should take his (...) is (...) you (...) Of course, we're ignoring the fact that Lego Scorpions are at least a few feet long. (Comparing to Minifigs) So ten should easily pull a chariot-type vehicle. Of couse, the hover-chariot would be (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) He's sort of like "Rudolph, the Trans-neon-orange Scorpion." I think you should consider the marketing potential of this, seeing as how Christmas is coming up and all. At the very least, perhaps someone can make a short stop-motion feature. We (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) A lobster? Ye Gods, man, I think you're on to something! Now I have to completely alter the power ratios! (And figure out why they've got erectile tails.) Hmmm...that may explain the trans-orange ones, but then why is the riverine example (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Aren't lobsters black *before* you boil[1] them? That would explain a lot... Johnny Thunder has a lobster towing his raft! The only problem is... Lobsters do not live in fresh water.
