(...) That is so cool! I have Jet and Amazon already, so I'll get Electro next to try your suggestion. Here's what I've done so far- Jet- mechanized Velociraptor Jet- mechanized Brachiosaurus Amazon- mechanized Ostrich Amazon- mechanized Anaconda (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) Hmm... I 'll see if I can manage some of those. I once got sort of a "bird" mode by slightly modifying Jet's carrying-case mode, and I've built Super Jet by adding parts from Granite, but the helicopter's the only really original thing I've (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) Ahhh- rough. I don't drive quite yet, but I get my parents to drive me to some stores once a few months, and otherwise I try to buy stuff online or from S@H (til now I'd ask permission to use my parents' CC, now I have my own Visa/ATM card).

So how many years ago did I coin the term SPUD (single purpose useless decorative)? I believe it was directed at the large Pirate items, rowboats in particular. The Bionicle torsos have a gear assembly: turn a wheel in the back, and the arms go up (...) (24 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)
