| Has anyone seen this new ProBuilder set? I got a brief glimpse over the weekend at a local TRU, and it looked pretty cool. As a quick overview, I can say that it has 1300 pieces and comes with some cool, if not especially versatile, chrome pieces. (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Armed with my trusty stanley knife, I (heretically - don't tell anyone) trim the baseplate to suit the model - so the model isn't so much fixed to the baseplate, as the baseplate to the model :-) (...)

| (...) Dunno about this. On mine, I got to about ten high for half the model and 19 for the balance and the bow wasn't going anywhere fast. I even gave it a couple of days to think about it :-) And this was MB 2x4s on grey Lego baseplates... Richard (...) (24 years ago, 24-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| (...) I think you'll find that if you build up high enough, the bow will go away. It is quite noticeable if you build with MB 1x2's on the flexible baseplates. Even the 2x4's do it. However, when you get more than a couple of bricks high, the bow (...) (24 years ago, 23-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
