Okay, I'll correct you. Those arms were used routinely in the Life on Mars
Series, such as 7302 and 7311, as mounts for control panels. Also, click
hinges, X-wing canopies, and X-wing cannons have all been reused quite
frequently, and they were all developed for the Star Wars line. I don't
think there was anything in the licence that prevented them from reusing
elements, unless it was a two year dealie because they started doing it
heavily with the Life on Mars stuff last year. Do you have any info on what
this licence might've been?
