One question and then I'll go back to lurking mode. Why do the Jedi look at "balancing of the force" as a good thing? In EpI & II, Mace Windu kind of refers to Anikin as though he's some type of prophesized mesiah figure. Its just not clicking for (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) It is fraudulent to return an item to a WalMart store that was purchased at a Target store. The act of returning an item includes your affirmation (whether or not you actually state it) to the associate that it was purchased at a WalMart (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I saw Yoda last weekend at FAO Schwartz NYC. A Lego employee mentioned 80,000 was the number of elements in it. Yoda is built of scaled-up "bricks" 10x20x5. They are made from 2x10 and 2x6 bricks shell with 2x10 covering the top. Kids get to make (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) How exactly is this fraud? Walmart doesn't say you can only have purchased the items from them, nor do they usually ask for a reason for the return. Just trying to clarify... Jeff (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| | Re: Short Pants
|
|
(...) Just compare the shorties to the regular legs and you'll get your answer. If you were to put the exact same hip design and feet design on a shorter leg you'd have a leg with a roundness for the hip that goes right into the extending segment of (...)

I don't know if people have discussed this one yet, but what does everyone think of the diminutive-torsos? I first saw them in the Dooku/Yoda set I got a while back, and of course, they are also in the extremely popular Slave I (and the Potter (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Good point, James. I had no intention of baiting anyone, but a debate does walk that fine line, yes? -Matt . (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Matt, What you describe is fraud, and illegal in most countries. However it is, as you point out elsewhere, very small potatoes, and Walmart isn't about to come after you with sticks or anything. But whatever. Leaving that aside, the tone of (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Thanks, Nate. I'm almost feeling guilty about my devious ways...almost. What I pulled off today at the corporate monoliths might not have been an act of integrity, but the immediate and wild reaction of some of our fellow AFOLs was surprising and (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Ah, a sympathizer in Travis. Thanks, Trav. You know what? Some LUGNET folk are chasing me with torches through the proverbial village of their community. Oh well, wouldn't be the first time. Yup, LEGO would probably sizzle in hades...but I'll be too (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Lego doesn't melt in hell. I live near New York City and my Legos are fine. I think everyone is making too big of a deal about this. Was advantage taken of huge corporations? Yes. Was it right? Probably not. Will the committer of such actions (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I almost feel pity for them. My local Target (So. Portland, Maine) had lots of EpII Lego. Since I already own a copy of Jango's Slave I, I didn't really want a second one so I thought I would annoy the sales people a bit...being the a$$h@le that I (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) My local Target was out of EVERY Episode II set, so instead of getting a raincheck, I just went to Wal-Mart with the flyer for a price match. They only had one Slave I left and I got it. :) Scott Member 718 (22 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Well Eric, I'm not so sure. I don't really think Palaptine/Sidious/Emperor has much balance in mind. I really think all he's out for is pure power. I mean, really, when he adopts the Emperor mantle, he doesn't seem to be thinking much about balance. (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)
