(...) The only fallacy in this line of reasoning is the quantity of female hair pieces that TLG made available in various town sets. I’ve always seemed to find that my biggest bang for my buck for specialized pieces was in the various themes that (...) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) [As I go to Pause to look at large Insectoid photos ;)] Another thing that comes to mind is that weird sound piece on the nose of that ship. It looks to clonish. I'm just trying to say that the sets of even as recent as three years ago focused (...) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'm often undecided about whether or not I like new pieces. The biggest factor that pursuades me is how useful I think it is across themes. Even purists argue amongst themselves saying that they won't use a piece until they think it useful, (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I dunno. I've built several different ships using insectoid pieces -- and my creations don't look insectoid in the least.... (...) Yes, I agree heartily here. Even better if they would interface nicely with technic, for making walking (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) The problem (for me) is that the Insectoids sets (at least the smaller ones) are only really good for building that one model. They aren't as bad (in this respect) as Time Cruisers sets were, but they aren't as generally useful for building as (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) In case no one got back to you, Timmy is the little boy head with round eyes and freckles. Came in the TimeTwisters and Freestyle sets. The green torsos with the T on them can be considered Timmy torsos. There's a rumor floating around (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) BTW, how many people integrate both the older and newer minifigs in their layouts? I've decided to have both in my town. It's kinda like having two different races. They are similar in many ways but there are some important differences too. (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) What other insectoids-specific parts? I think I've given you a comprehensive list. There's also the trans-yellow/green "eye" domes, but those seemed more generally useful than just insectoid, so I didn't count them. But even with those: three (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) This piece seems to defy standard description. For a long time, I thought of it as a camera piece (and it does get used that way, sometimes). Some classic-space-heads call it a thruster. As much as I like qualitative part-names(1), it's (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Or you can just post a follow-up which says, "Oops, I goofed. Here's the correction." Which would be the more proper approach, if more than a trivial amount of time has passed since the erroneous posting. I've not used either cancel or (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) So you do not like new specialized pieces, is that correct? Well, I remember when the space theme appeared for the first time. The magnitude of new specialized pieces was huge! And I loved it! The more specialized pieces, the better. In my (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

I would assume it would be a collection of FEQ. but I have noticed, LegoG has only a single car racing on the box. This could be a bad sign. I'll look around my San Jose to see if anyone else has one and I'll race him. we'll see -- Shayn Raney (...) (...) (26 years ago, 25-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I agree -- and, they've opened the whole sexism can-o-worms by making only a tiny percentage of the people female. Back when the faces were generic, that was totally up to the person playing. (26 years ago, 25-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I dunno. They've got the legos, which would be more useful if they were movable, but still can be applied elsewhere. And the wings are pretty special-purpose, but they look cool anyway. :) What other specialized pieces are you referring to? (26 years ago, 25-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)
