I'll be posting reviews here (instead of for the site I used to write for). Some of these reviews are older but unpublished, and there will be many NEW reviews for newer sets (Star Wars, Insectoids, Rock Raiders, etc.). ---...--- 6497 Twisted Time (...)

snip (...) Yes. The stickers are stupid. I cut mine off so that they were not stamp'd (...) This is just reverting to a older way of doing things. I have plenty of 1*4 bricks with printed grills on them. James Powell (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.reviews)

Yeah - I like it, and my mate Chris (a non-Internet AFOL) does too. I just got my 4561 on Friday and it looks a lot better built than it does in the catalogue. I won't say it's perfect - it has it's good and bad points. The obvious bad point is the (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.reviews)

(...) I am not sure what the exact scale is off the top of my head but I will check my Essential Guide to Vehicles this weekend to see if I can derive anything from that.

(...) Not to beat the "not to scale" to death, but I was curious the other day, and calculated the height an AT-AT would be if that piece were used for the feet, and it was built to scale with the 'foot's width... It'd be about 20 centimeters tall. (...) (25 years ago, 1-Oct-99, to lugnet.underground, lugnet.reviews)

(...) But it could be useful as the top of an AT-AT foot, possibly. I don't like the way TLG has aggresively started to use this piece as a unibody for small vehicles. The only bad part about set #4910. Steve (25 years ago, 1-Oct-99, to lugnet.underground, lugnet.reviews)

Maybe if they marked the 4950 (and most of the Rock Raiders) line as ages 6-8 I wouldn't have such a problem with them. But as an overall value, these sets in general are awful. They just don't have that much building value - my 8 year old likes the (...) (25 years ago, 1-Oct-99, to lugnet.underground, lugnet.reviews)

(...) I agree that it looks like an AT-AT foot but it would be terribly out of scale I think. It might work better as an AT-ST or AT-PT foot. Eric Remove ".nospam" when replying by E-mail The New England LEGO Users Group (URL) (25 years ago, 1-Oct-99, to lugnet.underground, lugnet.reviews)
