Not to mention the fact that the Martians themselves are Battle droids with new heads. Also in that blue car (at the top of the thread) there is the piece from the back of the redesigned speeder bikes (in Ewok Attack 7139), as seen in this photo: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=91901 The 6-long curved slopes seen in that speederbike: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=91898 and in the cloud car: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=105519 seem to be all over the place. They're in almost all of the new SW sets, including 7103, Jedi Duel: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=101897 7133, Bounty Hunter Pursuit (from www.fbtb.net): http://www.fbtb.net/toyfair2002/tfsw71333.jpg 7163, Republic Gunship (on the wings, in both dark red and gray): http://www.starwars.com/collecting/news/2002/02/news20020201_toy.html Slave 1, 7153: http://www.fbtb.net/toyfair2002/tfsw7153.jpg They're also in Alpha Team Navigator 4792: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4792 Ogel Shark Sub, 4793: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4793 Probably other sets, too, so it doesn't look like there's any two year delay. Alpha Team Command Patrol, 4794, has some of those longer curved slopes from the droid fighter: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4794 As does the new Slave 1: http://www.fbtb.net/toyfair2002/tfsw71533.jpg Bruce

(...) 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 (...) (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)
