Thanks for the tips. I'll be darned: The droid fighter is pretty useful after all. It's got brown 2x4 plates, and 2x3 plates, and stuff. There are brown plates it looks like in the AAT and MTT sets. I see a pair of 1x8 in the big Bulls 6096 set. I (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jun-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

That AAT looks pretty cool IMHO. But is that a pneumatic air tank I see sticking out of the MTT at the front, on the left of picture? I certainly hope LEGO decide to do some brown brick packs too. Also don't forget green in more varieties. The droid (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jun-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

On a side note, I suppose you've noticed that 7121 Naboo Swamp contains some brown bricks too, and is a fairly small set, so ought to be fairly cheap? I've noticed other sets that contain small amounts of what appear to be brown parts, but I'm not (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jun-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Yes, Naboo Swamp I had, but it chiefly yields L-shaped bricks. Good for piling up in irregular tree shapes, but not very good for layers of bricks in buildings (I find that if I use L-shaped bricks I need an equal amount of 1x1 somewhere else! all (...)
