(...) Hi Avery! Thanks for looking, and thanks very much for the feedback! The cone elements are pretty rare (to nonexistent) in recent sets, but they were fairly common a few years back. You can see some as part of the forward array on the 9332 (...) (19 years ago, 16-Nov-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) I was scratching my head over the nose elements until I realized that those were wing pieces I had seen from another set, good use there. I agree, the trans red does maximize sensor coolness. I have not seen the pieces in any MB sets for the (...) (19 years ago, 12-Nov-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the heads up, Marc--I believe this retailed for $49.99 in first release. Do you mean the bag-your-own grocery store Aldi? We have one semi-locally, but it's a little too out of the way for weekly perishables. Dave! (19 years ago, 30-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

Hyperboards is getting pounded by spambots, and the bogus traffic is making it hard to view the forums, much less post to them.
