Ok,
I'm really psyched.
All my life I've lamented the fact that lego canopies
have sides on them, so that if you wanted to build a
wide spacecraft cockpit you would have these trans
walls hanging down inside (not counting the curved
trans from UFO series)
Ok, so....
http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?prod_id=4589
shows the Nitro Flash green remote control Racer
that just happens to have two trans-smoke curved slope 1/2 canopies.
and
http://f24.parsimony.net/forum61776/messages/58783.htm
shows the new 2003 set
4403 Air Blazers 698pc $49.99
the big red helicopter
(you have to scroll down the page to view it)
but notice that the canopies are
4 wide trans-smoke curved canopies, i.e. a new piece.
you can also see them here
http://www.fbtb.net/ny2003/4403copter.JPG
according to this post
http://news.lugnet.com/modelteam/?n=943
the new set(s) are in Model Team
but there is no mention of them on lego.com
even though I have a print catalog that has all three of them
(4402, 4403, 4404)
so here's my question:
does anyone know anything about these sets/pieces
I DEFINITELY DEFINITELY will by some from the
first person who has them (reasonable price plz)
as long as they sell me two of the 1/2 canopies as well
really, I want those
and I hope that some of our .space builders make
some neat ships using this idea.
much happy
:-)

| (...) I can't remember exactly what they look like from the showroom (and unfortunately my photo is at a bad angle for viewing the cockpit), but they do appear to have a curved partial sidewall. It's better than the old square-cut canopies, but it (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jun-03, to lugnet.space)

| (...) They are apparently also available in set (URL) #10028 Level Crossing>. Sources say it'll be $50 for 325 pieces. Also, I think 10028 has better pieces for space creations ((URL) see here>) Hope this helps, (URL) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
