Yes, this site is just awesome. The way Mr. Fujita used pre-SW Lego to build
vehicles & scenes from SW is simply amazing!
Some specific points:
-His choice of minifigs to represent various characters is great.
-He made his own R2-D2.
-Yoda looks awfully cute.
-He used glow-in-the-dark ghosts to represent those Ice-Stormtroopers! (I know
that's not what they're called, help!)
-Clever use of the 1x2 hinge bricks to create angled structures. (He must
have millions of those pieces)
-I assume he used various Fabuland characters to represent different aliens in
the bar in RTJ?
-On one of the RTJ pages, the bottom most picture is of Yoda with a
brown "blanket" covering him. The blanket turns out to be a brown castle
corner/tree trunk piece!
-In the RTJ pages, Luke has one yellow and one black hand!
-For those that want to see a new use of pirate ship hulls, look at the RTJ
pages with the Ewoks and the shield generator base thingy!
-The very last RTJ page, last picture shows Obi-Wan, Anakin and Yoda's
spirits. They've been "hazed" to appear as spirits!
I dunno, lots of other really cool stuff on these pages. I highly recommend
everybody to go see it, whether you're a SW nut, or not.
