Thanks. That was very helpful. tho I was hoping that there were grey sockets
and balls I guess I'll just have to use the black ones for now. oh well, I
guess the next mech will be blue, lt gray and black. and the one i'm
building will just have exposed black joints.
I hope lego puts out a ball and socket assessory pack. I have pieces of a
storm trooper, C3P0, Kopaka and Lewa that I have bought mainly for the b&s
joints, just lying around (but I surprisingly used quite a few more parts
than just the joints) but untill TLC make the B&S accessory pack. I guess
I'll just have to keep buying those sets.
