Man I love this time of year. :D

4477:  Looks like a mix of gray and white with dark gray wings.  Good little
set IMO.

4478: Ok.  This is where it gets REALLY cool.  If you've seen the Incredible
Cross Sections book for Episode 2 you know that the Geonosian fighter's gun
and thruster are mounted on ball joints.  I've tried to figure out how to do
this in a small enough space...but now look!!  Big ball joints!!  WOW WOW
WOW.  What a useful part.  That fighter is perfect.  And is that burnt
orange (rust) for the wings?  Hope so.

Also:

-Sand red battle droids.
-Three of the new 6x6 solid dishes we saw in the ISD.  Very cool.  And
someone pinch me...is that a 3x3 dish?!  Or is it a 3x3 disc from technic
sets?

4479:  Looks ok.  Fits in with the other TIE Fighters.  I'll wait for a
clearance on this one.  Maybe I can get it for $8 like the TIE-Fighter.

4482:  I'm impressed.  They seemed to have done this one nicely.  6
superball joints!  Great colors in this one.  8 medium blue tiles. Some dark
red.  I'd like to know how the front with the tran neon green is built.

4484 through 4487:

GIMME.  Man I hope these little guys are cheap.  They look like candy. :-)
That Snowspeeder and Jedi Starfighter are my favorites.

Adventurers:

Great to see this theme still going.  I love the new location.  A bit
juniorized (and I don't say that much) but still cool.  I can already hear
the Castle folks collectively turning over in bed with visions of that
sword. :-)

Looks like a good year in my opinion.

Hi all,

http://home.t-online.de/home/gierse-gmbh/bilder/news2003/

shows the new sets form 2003. Great stuff in my opinion:

- Micro Star Wars Sets
- New Star Wars Sets
- Oriental theme [Build your own Alquaida battlefield ;-) ]
- nice parts in Creator sets

I would say, the quality of sets is getting better in 2003!

Kind regards form Germany,
Holger

Me again.. As I attempt to ignore the new atrocity that is the hockey theme, I would like to note just how amazingly cool the new creator sets are.. Mini-Mecha. Animals. Mini-Mecha and Animals.

(...) Yah, it's like Christmas in August :) (...) No, I think the wings are light gray. You can see dark gray in the 1x3 inverted slope right above the pilot's head, and the wings are far lighter than that. I think the angle makes them look a (...)

(...) Looks like a 3x3 dish -- it's curved. Plus: (URL) appears to be the same piece but painted and used as the shields here. Looking at the painted shields, there's a red line that seems about the right place that a 2x2 dish would end..looks about (...)

Wow! The AT-TE is definately a steping stone to a possible AT-AT. The micro-fig scale Star Wars stuff is too big to be to scale with the (nano-fig scale) USC Star Destroyer. On the other hand they are really cool looking, and if they are (as they (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Jon you are absolutely right! All these new sets rock, especialy the new super ball joints (can't wait to use on a mecha!). Just as a side note too; since all these sets are going to be coming in to stores, be watching for good clearance deals (...)
