(...) To your average 8 year olds? (...) I think that's your decision. I picked up the new Snowspeeder today. It uses the new grays (both of them). I think the new dark gray is a fantastic color.

This debate doesn't belong in .starwars for starters, but here goes. Now for those of you who don't agree with/like someone copying your designs, try this - Go get a brick by brick design patent on it! Then, and only then, will you have a legal (...) (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.starwars)

There has been a lot of talk about the legality and morality of selling your inspired MOCs, but I' going to stray from that for a second and toss my opinion into the ix. Okay, here it goes. They way I see it building with lego is a skill that needs (...) (21 years ago, 13-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

(...) I agree Bram, I made that point in my post, I can completely understand why Mark feels cheated. my point isn't where the inspiration of where Ryan's MOC came from, but it's just that when I first read Mark's post it felt to me as if it was a (...)

(...) The point is *not* whether Mark owns the design or not. The point is that Mark will feel cheated. If I were in Mark's shoes (hey, wait, I have been in the same situation...like 3 times), I'd feel the same way. By selling his Gunstar, Ryan (...)

I don't really think my original post was "nasty" unless you're really thin skinned, which you don't seem to be. Anyway, it's (...) (21 years ago, 13-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, FTX)

(...) On the contrary, he is indeed respecting Mark by making it very clear that Mark Sandlin was the original designer of the model, and by stating that multiple times. Furthermore, the Gunstar IS his model to sell, because he owns the parts and (...) (21 years ago, 13-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, FTX)
