Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the reply.
I am happy that you replied to my question, since I was a bit afraid that I
angered you with my comments on your F-16. If I did, I apologise. I certainly
didn't mean to annoy you, but my vision of a LEGO F-16 is quite different from
yours. That's probably obvious if you have seen my F-16N.
I know bricklink, but have never actually bought anything through it. Your reply
does make me wonder where whoever sold you those slopes via bricklink obtained
them, since -as I mentioned- there are no sets that contain them.
You clearly have different approach to building than I do. Although I do quite a
bit of planning before I start building and have a pretty clear idea of what
parts I will need, what I build very often is determined by the parts that I
happen to have. If I _really_ want to build something particular, I might buy a
set that contains the required parts. Still, there is a fair bit of improvising
as I go along.
I also buy new sets every once in a while, mostly because I happen to like the
parts, even if I don't have a clear plan for what I will use them for yet. I
bought a Titan XP at a discount a while ago, because I wanted to have more
blue-grey. I recently bought a Star Wars B-wing because I wanted to have more
grey, giving me new options. So, I usually have quite a large supply of parts
which I don't really need at any particular time. Still, they are likely to end
up in some MOC in the future. For instance, the B-wing had these new-fangled
dark stone curved wedges http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/41748 . When I bought
it I had no clear idea what I could use them for. Now they're used for the nose
of my F-16N.
Cheers,
Ralph

| (...) Ralph, I think some of the sellers that have parts in colors that have never been used in sets before probably live near LEGO stores, factories, etc. Especially many European sellers. That's the only way I can think of where they can get their (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)
