(...) I'm blown away by the speeder bikes and the snow speeder. Can't wait to get these! The landspeeder looks pretty small but at least it's 6 wide and not 4 wide. :) I wonder if there's room for Threepio and Artoo in the back? (...) I'm pretty (...) (26 years ago, 31-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

Wow. wowwowowow. The Star Wars sets look really good, I think. The snow speeder is great. You know, those Insectiod 4x4 half-domes are starting to look a lot like Star Destroyer shield generators, don'tcha know. The speed bike set is a fantastic (...) (26 years ago, 31-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I take the view that the pieces are probably quite versatile. Lots of pieces seem to have some kind of ball joint coupling, which is kinda scarce in Technic at the moment. I'll be crossing fingers! :-) Fredrik (26 years ago, 31-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Someone on RTL suggested that these are ZNAP, not real lego at all. I've not seen ZNAP, or even good pictures of ZNAP, so I can't tell. Thoughts? (26 years ago, 31-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) That would be very sad, if the licensing limitations go beyond the minifigs, and ship designs. But I think "elements" in this case is a general term, refering to "things identifiable as Star Wars". As opposed to "elements" meaning "LEGO bricks (...) (26 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) If the rock elemental is made from bricks, it's very cool. If it's a new 'action figure', then it's acceptable. If it's a non-poseable waste of plastic, then it's ... well, it's a waste of plastic. (...) :) (...) Unfortunately, I feel you (...) (26 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'll bet these are the new gun-lance pieces, as featured in the X-Wing and Snow Speeder. (...) I like the look of the new foliage. They go nicely with the bamboo leaves. Now we just need tan 1x1 cylinder bricks, so we can make some bamboo. (...) (26 years ago, 3-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
