Heya all ! I've got two sets:551 and 1555. Set 1551 is a little duck and set 1555 is St. Nicolaus. Both are packer originaly by LEGO in polybags not in paper boxes. Now I want know if there are also other sets in this serie. I guess there might be (...) (26 years ago, 3-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

The LEGO Mindstorms site ((URL) had AVI/QT movies of both of their video advertisments, as well as a schedule of when they would appear on TV. I prefer the other one (it had a mindstorms bulldozer which pushes dishes off of a table to "clean up"). (...) (26 years ago, 3-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.general)

I'll second the stubby look. The fuselage looks a little short. As for lumpy, what do you expect? LEGOs traditionally have lumpy studs on top. :-) Duane (...) (26 years ago, 3-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Maybe my hopes were too high. Compare to (URL) for example -- the Lego design is way too stubby and lumpy compared to the long, sleek "real" X-wing. (26 years ago, 3-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I like the X-wing design. I think it is quite well done. I can see it will need some modification for retractable landing gear, though. So does the Y-wing. I think the Y-wing is the best design of the ships they show. I like the TIE fighter (...) (26 years ago, 3-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I've certainly done the same as well. For awhile things got too busy at work for me to have time to keep up with RTL. Then lugnet came online, and I basically stopped going to RTL. I much prefer the way lugnet is organized. (26 years ago, 3-Nov-98, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general)
