I got my hands on the LOM Mini-Figs, and was wondering what others think of them. For never having very much space, I thought that these were pretty cool. What do you guys think? Rob robo2705@hotmail.com (24 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.space)

I really liked this! It's living proof that MOCs don't have to be immense to be effective. And the idea of having a minifig as your pic is cool too :) Kampai! IronMike -- Michael Campbell, Madison, Wisconsin Samurai Warlord/ Minifig junkie (24 years ago, 11-Feb-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
