(...) GREAT! Yeah the ridgid leg design is nice for mecha building because of lack of need of specialized parts and the strength of the joints. The bad side is it doesn't move but you can stack all kind of brick on top of it and it'll hold the pose. (...) (20 years ago, 19-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Sorry Kyle, no way. I ran into serious weight problems. The technic parts I used in the knee joint are allready twisted.
