(...) Yeah, and in the case of the hovercraft thing with Luke and that old dude, you can make a really goofy-looking one that doesn't look like much of anything. :) (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Uh, yes. That was what I meant to say. Sorry for being unclear. Some sets the last years have come without any alternate models at all, so I'm happy to see that the Star Wars sets have. Take Time Cruisers as an example (no alternate models), (...) (26 years ago, 23-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Hrmmm.... as much as I don't like either TC or TT, I think the point could be made that the entire line is nothing but alternate models. (26 years ago, 23-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) You weren't. I was trying to be funny. (...) Isn't it funny (and a bit sad) how the SW sets are more "LEGO" than the regular System sets (ie, Adventurers, Town Center, etc.). The new pieces are less specialized, the sets build reasonable (...) (26 years ago, 23-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) That's exactly what came to my mind, while reading Larry's dear lego post, stating that a clueless "brainy" from TLG expresed that "juniorization" is the way to go for all sets, and TLG is happy with that. Selçuk (26 years ago, 24-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) I wondered that, too. It makes some sense--Lucas can pick and choose their licensees. So if they contract with LEGO, it's because they want to see Star Wars in LEGO form. So why make it in a watered-down, Star Wars, Jr. style? Steve (26 years ago, 24-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)
