(...) d'Oh! Yes, you're right!!--thanks! My 6198 is still assembled (I like its tail!) but I took apart my 6977 within minutes (Insectoids, blyeah). (...) I can't wait for those!

(...) Ooh, hand't looked at the MF pictures close enough. That would be cool (I'm not aware of any other set which used the bottoms). That would be nice, then I could build a super size water tower... Frank (25 years ago, 1-Apr-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) AFAIK (and I've been looking for a while) no set has ever used 14x14 bottoms.

(...) Well, I still have another set of 4 blank tops from the small stack of 6979s I bought at clearance for the electronics. Of course I may have to re-build a MF with anti-freeze tops... Of course we'll also be getting tan tops... Frank (25 years ago, 1-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)
