(...) ;-)) (...) hehehe... It is made up very simple: the body is a 1x1x1 with technic hole. On top of that there is the head. Below there is a part 4081: (URL) to that there are the 1x2x0.33 tiles as legs. The arms are standard arms from minifigs. (...) (22 years ago, 24-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) Hi Mattias! Thanks for your nice words on my beetle design. I made up the ML-CAD model as my very first one ever and so it comes totally without support in the inside: you cannot build it at at all. So all tricks are only used in the real (...)

(...) I like your new VW-Beetle a lot, especially the cab version. Moving the front window forward has definitively improved the appearance. When sitting here trying to make my own copy, I realise your model is a of rather complex design. There must (...) (22 years ago, 23-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) Waist Watchers. It's also quite interesting to see a minifig who actually looks like they are in a believable sitting position with their butt on a bench and their feet on the ground. Could you explain a little more about the parts you used (...) (22 years ago, 23-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

The real question lies not in skin tone, but as to how they will represent some of the more colorful characters in the NBA. Even with Rodman gone, we still have characters like Allan Iverson (famous for throwing his wife naked out of the house) and (...) (22 years ago, 8-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) That's my assumption. The hands are kind of curved, probably to fit the round ball. (...) If you look at the card it says "Traded to Bucks". I don't follow the NBA, but I assume the uniform in the photo on the card is his old team from last (...) (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) I've played with the legs (someone had them in their posession at LEGOWORLD), but I can't remember if they were or not. Not like it matters though, the legs are made for the basketball game, not for use as regular poseable figs. -Tim (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) And I'm sure I've said this before, but I don't buy this slippery slope. Yellow has been used to represent generic non-white peoples in the past. It's just my opinion that it is incapable of representing black people. (Someone once used the (...) (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

I'm not sure) and sports.hockey etc... In parallel I know (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) It was said before in another thread, but I believe it is a good point to make so I'll say it. If LEGO had introduced 'Minifigs of color' along side yellow minifigs, instead of the new caucasian lego color, then LEGO would be proclaiming that (...)

(...) While I like the brown minifigs, my one disappointment is the caucasian players are that icky color (can't think of a name for it) versus plain yellow. In Star Wars, they created minifig likenesses of caucasian characters/actors in yellow, why (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

Weird to have minifigs with one hand bigger than the other, (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

For those of us who don't use Macromedia Flash, I've put screencaptures of the 3 new "draftees" from the ongoing LEGO NBA draft at lego.com/sports up on Brickshelf: (URL) when it gets through moderation, you can view this folder for a comparison of (...)

What sort of sets do you think we'll see? I'm pretty (...) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.starwars)
