| (...) Okay, admittedly not fatal injuries. Apologies if that sounded a little crass. But, I think that coccooning kids because of one unfortunate accident won't prepare them well for the rest of their life. It just screws up their values because you (...)

| That's a shame. Maybe toy-related injuries could teach a little bit of respect for firing mechanisms. I remember having an Action-Man field gun that had a hell of a kick to it... Jason J Railton (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jan-03, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.pirates)

| Impressive. They can make...kilts. Very nice dude. It is amazing how you can take the everyday, non-minifig accessory (tyres, 1x2 plates), and turn out grade A military. Love it. Might be hard to get them to march though, yes? I feel a South Pacific (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jan-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au)

I didn't have any of the yellow pieces though and ended up making it in red blue and black. I wasn't really very (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.pirates)

This led to changes in other "action" toys such as the (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.pirates)
