Agreed. I've already thought of a few other uses for most of the things
mentioned above.
IMO, the lab windows are akin to the Divers' type of small round windows.
Often, after I get used to seeing pieces like that, I usually think to
myself, "well, they're okay.. really. But they just don't last long enough on
the shelf for me to buy a bunch to make anything worthwhile with them." As it
is, sometimes only one color is available in considerable quantity in only one
set, which is usually considerably priced.

Yeah, that movie had a base set design all its own that I rather liked. Much
more plausible than Alien(s) IMO.
