(...) How about the rest of the pieces in there, though? Are the ones in the ST markedly better for mecha building? I hear that most of the 3PO parts are actually black... Also, how 'strong' are the ball joints - how much pressure do they take to (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

(...) The C3-PO has the most ball joints- a total of 5, compared to the S.T.'s 4. and yes, they are cool for mecha. I've built one this week with them and I'll post pics soon. Later, Todd (URL) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

This is a tough one: make a good "big" version of Millenia/Millenium using only the parts given and maybe a couple other rods/pins/connectors. I myself made a better one than TLC, but I still liked the bike better so I dismantled mine and built the (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I was looking at the new Technic sets - the C3PO and the Stormtrooper - and thinking that those ball & socket joints would be pretty darn handy in making mecha and similar posable things. But I'm not sure which set to pick up, so I thought I'd (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)
