(...) I agree with Tim. In some case a redesign of an old set can show more originality that designing a completely new set. In fact, a good redesign that improves the look and feel of the model to the point where I, as a consumer, would want to buy (...) (21 years ago, 14-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)

Excellent interpretation, Mike. I've really been enjoying this series of Star Wars Miniland-scale figures. There's so many ingenious uses of odd pieces, and the articulation on some of them like this new Boba Fett figure allows you to have them (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

Some of us took 20 years to stop complaining about the castle sets that used pre-fab wall pieces. Obviously all the castle sets since Yellow Castle were junk, they weren't even the real color, and purists wouldn't touch them. (21 years ago, 13-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)

This trend was discussed here about a year ago. At the time, most Star Wars Lego fans agreed that to continue the line, Lego would be forced to release revamps near the end of the license. There was much optimistic speculation, foremost of which (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)
