 | | Space Police #6986 Mission Commander
|
|
A Holy Grail in the mail. This is a fantastic set. The review on Pause begins: "Legendary are the raves about the Mission Commander." They are correct. This set rocks. One of the best color combos from all the Space lines and awesome functions. (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.reviews)

Well, I spent a lot of time examining the trains at LegoLand MiniLand Some nits.... which should be taken as constructive criticism because in general I LOVED it. - The nonworking switches are very obviously non working. So much so that they're (...) (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.reviews)

Thanks for these chopper reviews. I had wanted to see a transport copter (kind with double rotors on top). I had no idea that there were already some made. Wish they'd sell some again w/o the light and sound expense. DJ Zorn To locate scans of (...) (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.reviews)

(...) You're right that the 6482 is big and looks a lot like the US coast guard ones, but it's still missing something to be the best (imho). (...) What about the Whirlwind Rescue (8856)? It could be fun to see a Model Team "decorated" version of (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.reviews)

(...) Really! While I agree they have potential, I would have to say that the BEST minifig scale copter would have to be the light and sound air sea rescue copter, it looks a lot like the US coast guard ones. THAT's a big chopper. <rummage rummage> (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.reviews)

(...) I agree about the hard-points for the guns. But compared to the rest of the pieces in this set, the TIE front-side seem very SPUD-ish to me... Steve (26 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.reviews)

(...) My (main) problem is that this piece is bigger than it should be -- its base is 2 studs deep, plus the domed part and gun-points that stick out in front. And the whole thing is the trans-smoke material. I think if this part was only 1-deep (...) (26 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.reviews)

(...) The first time I saw the TIE fighter window, I wanted to make two things: 1) The Bespin Duel scene, with the big round window, and 2) the Emperor's Throne Room from RotJ. I don't consider it a SPUD- there are a lot of big, round windows in the (...) (26 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.reviews)

(...) Is this really a SPUD? I haven't had a chance to see this set in real life yet, but my first reaction from the picture was 'neat -- I wonder if they are going to use the TIE canopy as the window in a Bespin playset next year?' (26 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.reviews)
