The first batch of my pictures from NELUG's BrikWars game on Saturday, March 17th are available on Brickshelf. Pics only, I'm afraid- no text. Still, I'll cheerfully answer any questions. More will be coming from me (and presumably others) (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.gaming, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) This was more what I had in mind when I said a Mechspo could help TLC sell their product, at least in the form that I buy it (bulk bricks). It may be more profitable for Lego to sell bricks in plain plastic bags than sets (with licensing (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Yep, Back in 1988, yep winter I rekon, I started building the Black Robot, a sort of Insect GigerMech. Yep, thought it was purty futuristic at the time. Hey still is. We gotta push this area for our own... Scouring thru sets for pcs. designing, (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I'm torn here. I agree that Lego should in some ways "bite the bullet" and just admit what we all know anyway and make some mechs. However part of me likes that Lego doesn't do mecha. I like pushing the limits in an area/theme that Lego has (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Hinges <set:7311 Red Planet Cruiser> and <set:7127 Imperial AT-ST> have a bunch of clicky-hinges, including the new round ones. <set:6474 Wheeled Front Shovel> also has some interesting click-hinge parts, including a bucket and a hook.

(...) I agree with you. I think LEGO is rationalizing it by calling their weapons "tools" which they apparently use to help them get around their native lands... or something. Whatever. We all know they're fighting robot things, so why not bite the (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I would have agreed with this, if it weren't for Bionicles. These aren't pacifist machines. They look like the result of some marketing study that concluded "kids like fighting robots". There are other new products in their line up with the (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I like train displays, though a technology that's more than a century old is, well, quaint. Mecha represent a technology that has yet to be made real, but probably will be in this century. It has another century to go before it becomes (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Looks great Rick! Is this your first mecha? If it is, than excellent first try, most people have to fiddle long before they come up with something cool. BTW the legs are very derivative of the legs on my Spidertank, which I built (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

Thanks Bryce. I'll add some thumbnails to the models page, maybe 100x100 jpegs will do. I was hoping to keep the website size down since I'm hosting from home, but i think some thumbs would be nice. Maybe I'll stick em on Brickshelf and java them (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)
