(...) I recently got the new Technic R2D2 set (8009). It has several parts with the new dark blue color. Some of the dark blue parts were noticeably translucent while the others were quite solid in color. TLC must still be working on their pigment (...) (23 years ago, 31-Dec-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) You can't be serious! That they chose red is, IMHO, just absolutely great. It's a orangish red anyway. There was a lot of orange in previous sets (snow speeder for instance) and I am glad to see these very useful parts come out in red rather (...)

I am considering buying this pricey set, but I wanted to see if everyone here thought it was worth it first. I have not seen one in person so it is hard to judge. Thanks, Chuck (23 years ago, 31-Dec-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) In my humble opinion the cloud car is rather spiffy actually. It seemed to scale with the the other starfighters and well constructed. In any event in the movies they seemed reddish to me anyway. My eyes! My eyes! What's the matter with them? (...) (23 years ago, 31-Dec-01, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

Actually I rejoice in the absence of printed legos. I can't stand stickers and really can't stand legos that have stuff imprinted on it. How many "glass" pieces have been ruined? The space stuff is really bad. They insist on putting horrible designs (...) (23 years ago, 31-Dec-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I share your disappointment (actually I'd rate this is one of my biggest disappointments with the SW theme), but since the model was approved by Lucasfilm I doubt the color was overlooked. Since they've made simliar decisions in the past, my (...) (23 years ago, 30-Dec-01, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

(...) I can confirm that the new Cam dark red hair element is likewise translucent, I was going to post about it but I probably forgot to do so. Not sure what I think about it, but I am not bothered by it as it stands. It is interesting in that it (...) (23 years ago, 30-Dec-01, to lugnet.starwars)

My wife gave me a Rebel Blockade Runner for Christmas (she is wonderful and the set is wonderful - what a pile of pieces! - the set that is). I noticed that the new dark red pieces looked a little different then the other pieces - and not just that (...) (23 years ago, 30-Dec-01, to lugnet.starwars)

It's cool that we're going to get four red medium-slope corners in a $10 set, but the set should've been orange. Continuing proof that too many people in the R&D department aren't familiar with the films. Dave "Joel Hoornbeek" <joel@webaccess.net> (...)
