Since I lack purple pieces

Don't we all! Try finding people parting out the mindstorms Extreme Creatures
sets for more. Alternately, Cyberslam works in a pinch, but you'll have to use studless beams.

Wait... there *are* purple pieces?  Aside from the bumper tubes from the
Mindstorms sets?  Well I'll be...

I think some of the Technic Cyberslam has purple technic pieces, and if you
dig hard enough, I think there is some sand blue in the Red Planet Protector
from the Life on Mars stuff.  Purple and Sand Blue might work together.
However, I can't guarantee how much sand blue there is right now...


I've got more axles than I know what to do with.  Perfect :-)  No click
hinges, though.  What's the cheapest source of those?

I think click hinges are only really known to be in Star Wars sets.
Currently, from the Lego Outlets, the Tie Fighter is 19.95, the X-Wing (not
UCS version) is $19.99, and if you can find it, Vader's Tie vs Y-Wing is
20.00 bucks.  Also, Anakin's Podracer is 7.99 or 8.99 (can't remember).  I
frequent the two Lego outlets in the Atlanta, Georgia area, and they will
ship if you like (8.95 for up to the first 100 bucks, then 14.95 for up to
200 bucks).  They also have Throwbots for 2.99 or 3.99, depending on the
Throwbot.  You might be able to find some cyberslam at the outlet stores as
well.  Some of the older sets are marked down, and they will try their best
to help you out--they have some real die hard lego people on their staff.

Lego outlet Discover Mills: (678) 847-6078
Lego outlet Dawsonville:    (706) 216-2800

Bohrok are part of the new Bionicle 2002 line.  check out www.fbtb.net for
some limited information.

P.S. word has it that one of the staff at the Discover Mills store is a HUGE
Evangelion fan...

(...) Well, the skull's about 6x6x4 without the jaw joint or armor plating. I'll estimate at least 8x8x6, maybe a bit larger with the chin :-) (...) Quite large, yes. Up there with Brian Cooper's designs, I suppose. (...) Wait... there *are* purple (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
