| (...) In this discussion the Star Wars sets have been generally regarded as exceptions to the rule. Your 673 example is more on target but still overlooks the dreadful state of design in more recent Lego sets. Compare, for example, set (URL) from (...)

|
| (...) I don't want to sound too personally critical, but are you being serious? Sets like King Leo's Castle are more sophisticated than things like King's Castle? Or how about the 1998 Cargo Center compared to the 1984 model? And as for idea books, (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Are you sure about that? Since this thread goes on .starwars, lets take the X-Wing as an example. Could such a realistic looking X-Wing be constructed with the part selection as of 15 or 20 year ago? I would say probably not. The fairly new (...)

| Posting this again, I wrote it before but for some reason it didn't show up. James, I agree 100% with what you said here. I think this is pretty sad. I believe in the LEGO system of play strongly, I just wish LEGO believed in it too. -Tim (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

Jake, has Tomas showed you his desktop wallpaper? :) The old Fabuland set with an elephant and a wheelbarrow, and the alternate model is the elephant holding the wheelbarrow while the wheelbarrow is standing on end - the elephant (...)

| (...) Old alternate images used to suggest ways to build other things with the set pieces; Star Wars "alternates" only show ways to deconstuct the set. I will say, however, that the alternate models at the end of some of the larger set instructions (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

| (...) What alternative images? Other than Star Wars and Technic, it doesn't seem like any sets have alternate models any more. And the Star Wars alternates seem invariably ... umm ... goofy. Steve (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Yup, that's Maestro Fujita's work... he did some amazing stuff, and most of it was completed before TLG's official sets. It's good to know that his work got into a magazine... though not really suprising. The link does not have an exclamation, (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.books)

Personally I'd rather that they used wilder colors (why, in a grey model, use a blue 2x2 spotter (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)
