Hey all, Just the bought the MINI AT-TE and Star Destroyer. Didn't notice the change in light grey much but dark gray screamed at me right from the start. Compared to Classic Dark Grey (that's what I call it) it does indeed appear much more (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

I agree with Greg that not one of these sets looks good to me either. I miss brick beams. I also think the fairing pieces in place of brick beams actually detract from the model. It doesn't look as "solid" as the old stuff. The two metal hooks in (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

Thank you Lego! The more I see of these sets the easier it will be not to buy any of them. Bionicle parts have no business in true Technic sets. They are different themes and should be kept that way! Cutting corners by using those parts in sets like (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

(...) I think the point is made clearly with Galidor and Bionicle. Its hit and miss going with radical changes. Lego has always been a consistent seller. The changes of the last 5 years has put Lego in the Red. Rewind to 1998 and start over. Mike (22 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
