It's simple, but utilitarian: (URL) envision it as an entryway to a module specializing in the research of alien technologies, perhaps. More to follow... Dave! (22 years ago, 7-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.space)

(...) Wow--thanks for the insight. I had gotten as far as "I think it's some kind of gun" when I ran out of military knowledge. I'm eager to receive this item; once it arrives from Hong Kong I'll post a review with pictures. Thanks again, Dave! (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Well now I have an Elgo Skyline. Thanks, Ray. I'm intrigued by 3 alien bricks found in the Elgo--can anyone identify these? They are white, 1" by 0.5", height 0.5", with two square studs. Walls are nominally 1/16" thick and the square studs are (...) (22 years ago, 2-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
