In the next week or so I will be coming up with a list for the LEGO CD folks that contains all the unique LEGO parts by country/region. What this means is that many LEGO items from 1949-80 were not sold in all locations. There were some items that (...) (18 years ago, 30-Dec-06, to lugnet.general)

(...) Since when does most of what LEGO does make any sense?? I gave up trying to make sense out of what they do many years ago. [1] (...) I consider the new skelton to be an IMPROVEMENT.

Sounds like a good business plan to me. (...) As (...) (18 years ago, 29-Dec-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.town, FTX)

If I remember correctly, the current skeleton torso has ball for the shoulder to fit the socket of the arm, where the one pictured appears to have a bar attachment for (...)

(...) The answer is clear to me-- saves TLG $$$. Anytime they can eliminate a mold and "shoot two birds with one stone", it cuts their production costs. It appears to me that droid arms have been getting a lot more use than as just as arms. As a (...) (18 years ago, 29-Dec-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.town, FTX)

The "lead" skeleton there looks like he might have a droid arm for his *right* arm (because his flail is arguably sideways), but most of the rest of the skeletons are all holding their (...)
