Dave, Ya, that's what I tried to do. I know (now) that it doesn't fit, but it _almost_ did. I didn't notice the split until after I'd done it, then I thought 'I guess I had better not do this'. My point is, I suppose, that with LEGO you wouldn't be (...) (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I don't understand, though; are you trying to push the gun piece through the back of the "technic-ish" brick? Since that's not how it's supposed to fit, I don't see how it's a problem that it doesn't fit that way... Dave! (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I bought the Battleship too. Surprisingly (or not), it was missing 10 2x4 gray bricks. I also found that if you pushed the turret gun pieces through the back of the 'technic' 2-stud, it splits the brick (I was seeing if it would fit so as to be more (...)
