(...) I think Lego's biggest mistake was making minifig darker. That is, some of those Aquazone-villain-thi...-minifigs, and the UFO uglies. That alone has kept me from buying those sets as gifts.

(...) It works well on: X-wing Cockpit, Insectoid wings, anything that isn't a slope. Slopes produce...interesting effects. They become smooth like any other piece. I picked up my Brasso at K-mark, but I suppose Walmart has it too. (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.space)

I used Brasso to take off the UFO junk. I don't consider it ruining the piece, I consider it saving the piece from TLG's ruining it by making it useable only within the UFO Theme.

(...) The minifig as we know it was originally a baby in another scale. My guess is it was adopted as-is to make large scale building easier (ie, reduce the overall scale) without designing/sculpting/tooling up machines for new figs. eric (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)
