(...) Was lucky enough to get to play with one of those bad boys this weekend! WOW...it is AMAZING!! Great mix of beams (underneath) and panels (in new sparkly green color) and tubes. A good parts set for AFOLs too, plus it rocks! -Tim (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) No bias there. LOL. I guess it's OK but those panels are just too ubiquitious for my taste, seems everything uses them. Ought to be a good source of tubing, though.
