So, I bought two UFO sets.

I never was able to get a merry-go-round I was happy with, but I've used the
UFO pieces on a lot of different buildings as canopies.

I sanded down some of the gray round pieces (and later used "Brasso" with
much better results) to get rid of the stupid graphics.

Here is a use of the round gray pieces (see the 2nd picture on the page):

Here is a use of the clear round pieces ( see the blue hotel on the left):

There are a few other examples on my web site.

Has anyone else made use of these?

Kind of funny that you should bring this up about the UFO hulls.  I just
purchased an alien avenger 6975 today at a great clearance price at ShopKo.
Regularly $59.99 I got it for an astounding $7.99!!!!!  To bad it was the
only one left or I would have gotten more at that price.
