Why the dull colored beard??  Wasn't Santa always supposed to have a white
one??  I'm sure you could always visit bricklink and get a white one for
him!

Sometimes old Saint Nick needs to move with the times.  With the number of
moonbases popping up around the galaxy, the benevolent gift-gifter was
finding
that his standard sleigh and reindeer setup just wasn't cutting it any
more.
So, during the off-season, he set up a special team of elfs to design and
build
a new sleigh, one that he could traverse the planets in.

The result is Santa's Long Excursion Delivery, or S.L.E.D. (Okay, I admit
it, I
watch too much {i}Codename: Kids Next Door{i} on Cartoon Network).

The S.L.E.D. features high propulsion engine pods on either side, plus an
additional rear engine for short-term flights.

Santa is outfitted in a specially made air-tight suit, complete with
air-tanks
and tinted visor for deep space travel.

Knowing what a stickler for tradition Santa is, the elfs included an
RUD-01-F
simulated reindeer navigation unit.  Sensors on the unit help determine
air-speed, heading, and location, delivering the information to Kris
Kringle via
bio-feedback cables, giving the old man the look and feel of a traditional
sleigh.

Happy Holidays to all!

(...) Yup. I only had one beard. Buying on Bricklink is great for getting lots of parts, but for the amount of money it takes to ship a single part, it's not really worth it. I'd buy more parts, but I know that Santa is bringing about 5 buckets, a (...) (20 years ago, 12-Dec-04, to lugnet.space)
