OK, this is getting silly. I posted it last night, but Jon didn't check
Lugnet before he posted a link to it. :^\
No big deal, tho.
You guys can check my personal website if you want to read the little blurb
I typed up on it.

:^) I love those wings! I don't know why, but I just think they're very
cool. The lend themselves very well to wingy protrusions.

I had the idea for this thing a couple days ago, and I thought to myself
"Now if I can get some of those new pieces, I can make some cool landing
gear" So I went to TRU, and lo and behold! They had the new pieces and I
used them!

Thanks! :^)

It does, in fact, lock down. The foward edge of the saucer snaps onto the
stud on the front of the laser cannon. :^) That was more by accident than by
design, but it works.

If you guys want me to be at Brickfest you're gonna have to start a "bring

Hmmm, I kind of like the smooth forward edge that roughens up at the rear.
Good suggestion, tho.

How would that work exactly? ;^)
