(...) I have to agree that this set was certainly a great set in my opinion. I liked them so much that once KB got them at $4.99 I bought at least a dozen and have no plans to get rid of any of the parts. On of the best "parts" sets in the last five (...)

I neglected to mention that the inverse black dome piece CAN be inverted and used as a more classical looking dome. I did it in this MOC (with a tan version): (URL) just use a 2x2x1 round piece with a technic axle in it. You attach this to your flat (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.reviews)

I've seen no end of bad comments about this set, and I just can't understand why. I wouldn't say its a "great" set, but for a small set, it has a lot of great pieces, and I think the main model is kind of neat too. Given that you can pick it up for (...)
