Anthony, it's still a great model but I am beginning to think it needs more wing feathers, esp. after seeing the CAD versions. The wings look kinda skinny... And you know the cross-posting police are gonna come down on you like a ton of bricks, (...) (23 years ago, 21-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Me too. However if you were to build a 4 foot long lego dragon, you'd know too, that the wings being that size are very hard to make look 'full' and still make it so they move and don't destroy themselves when you pose them. I hearby challenge (...) (23 years ago, 21-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hey all! I picked up the newly released soundtrack for The Fellowship of the Ring, and I must say, it is *fantastic.* It has a good mix of classical orchestral styled pieces, many of which are rather Wagnerian, and some Celtic pieces. In addition, (...) (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Hagrid's Hut at Kmart this weekend at 20% off. I would say for $24, it had a nice variety of pieces. Again, taking cost into factor, it doesn't beat out the MTT. The plates are not very useful and the roof is *rap. The fact that you have to (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

A few to add: Slave I - TONS of green slopes, brown, etc., and coupled with the Landspeeder (also a good one) for $15, this is a great set. Also, I gotta give a nod to the Young Dinosaur series (7000-7003). These have a good bunch of grey and dk. (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)
