Just went through some receipts from last year. I found the Imperial Shuttle, Tie and some other 2001s at WalMart on Dec 04 2000 - fresh out of their shipping boxes which were still scattered on the floor. Damn, seems like last week. I wonder if (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The basic idea is very simple. I have made the smallest posible X-wing, millenium falcon and other Star Wars ships. The ships are still for minifigs but do not respect the canonical proportions. The X-wing can contain Luke and R2D2 but is only (...)

In reference to those death star dats. Any chance those of who don't do DATS can see what you're talking about? (23 years ago, 30-Nov-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build)

Eep, I'm still around, just lazy :). Actually, I'm still interested in the site and updating it and all that, but just haven't got much time, lately.

Thanks for the great comments guys! Looks like I was a little quick to show off, though...I changed it already <cowers>. I noticed the nose was too long so it's 4 studs shorter and looks much better. I'd put up pics of this one, but the shortened (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.starwars)

No, to keep their site up-to-date. OK, I guess it could have been interpreted that way. Does anybody have an idea of the structure within TLG that handles the website? It's a safe guess that a team or department is responsible for the up-keep. I (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.starwars)

I think comparing the Star Wars LEGO Sets with the Harry Potter sets isn't really fair. The Star Wars sets have essentially all been vehicle sets, whereas with Potter, aside from the train, they are all playsets. Designing a LEGO playset and a LEGO (...)

Stupid, isn't it? If TLG takes such an alleged interest in LUGNET, FBTB, etc...one would think they prefer to keep their own website current and, therefore, "competitive." I go straight to LUGNET and FBTB for the latest. Shame on TLG for abandoning (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.starwars)
