Saw exactly one 2002 set at TRU today-- the squid sub. Good thing, because
it's about the only one I was interested in buying just now. $10.
It's pretty neat-- I didn't realize that the cockpit piece has a matching
under-piece, also in trans-red. Cool application of dino tail/neck parts
for the squid arms. Ogel has a trans-red hook for one hand... these really
are the Ghosts of Aquazone Past!
Two things about the packaging/paperwork: the set name (Ogel Mutant Squid)
is in *SMALL* type, underneath a much larger piece of text: "Mission Deep
Sea", which I guess is kind of a theme name. The set name is really
de-emphasized. Strange.
Secondly, the instructions take a cue from the Blockade Runner, and include
one page that is an overview of the whole AT sea theme (the "Mission Deep
Sea" text reappears here). This "catalog page" is at the front of the
instructions-- first page after the cover.
Also included-- a 2002 one-page mini-catalog.
In case y'all haven't seen it, new SW sets are hitting the Lego stores out
east, as well.
