| | | Looks like cool new parts for '01: (URL) "landing pads/feet" for small pod just below the main ship. They look more complex than a simple 1x2 plate, and they don't appear to be click-hinge plates. The arms may be new parts, too. Is that a 1x2 brick (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) I think the "feet" are the 1x2 plate with click-hinge like in the B-Wing set (you get tan ones with that). I think the "legs" are new parts that interface with the click-hinges. (...) Yeah, those fans look kind of fun (...) The hoses look (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

I think it is not that piece, it is e new one. The one from Sebulba's pod is a (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) I have spent some time looking at 7106 ((URL) Could the large cylinder be a plastic wrap? It would be a disapointment. Look at 7315 ((URL) - that half cylinder looks like a thin piece of plastic held in shape and in place by a few pins into a (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | (...) Possible but I don't think so. If you look closely at the bottom of the cylinder you can see cutouts for studs so my guess is that it is good old ABS. Eric Kingsley (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

Look at the part between stupid rocket launcher vehicle and the prison cage. The (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

Also in 7106, notice how the cylinder perfectly follows the curve of the bottom 8x8 round plate. I don't think a plastic sheet would be able to (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

The brick in the mars base appears to be 4x4x3, and could not have any (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

But that does not account for the extra row of 2 studs that appear on the (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)
