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.

The hoses look like they might be new. Aren't those the same wheels from the
Rock Raiders 4950? (new color, of course)

I think it's ok... unfortunately it doesn't have sides, so it isn't
"sealable"

I think the plates on the front of the hips are new also, but I may be
wrong.

Yesssssssss 8x8 dish in Dk gray, and also a good set for inexpensive inverse
2x2 gray slopes.

Could be.... ;^D

The arms may be new parts, too. Is that a 1x2 brick (...) (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)
