After Pat´s successful Star Wars contest, I would like to announce a follow-up contest. To make the contest an interesting sequel to Pat´s design contest, I have decided to create some new categories while dropping some old: Best never build before (...)

(...) I can´t say I am happy with this line. I like the minifigs and the idea a lot, but I think it´s a bit too juniorized. What I really would have liked to see is a "Pistenbully". I am not shure what the right translations for this is. It´s the (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I'm actually sorry to see those go. They're the only "castle" sets I've purchased. Bet you can't guess which part of the world I'm interested in. As for this years SW sets, I dunno, I too didn't feel QUITE as excited about them too. I guess (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) That's mainly what's kept me from going hogwild over the new Arctic sets -- seems like a lot of air in the boxes. OTOH, I think 4 of the large pre-fab pieces in the big base are those awesome 4x4x6 concave corridor corners in Gray! (Can anyone (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.town)

(...) I've had mixed feelings about the 2000 sets. I've been very happy with the new Arctic ones. These are only moderately juniorized and provided a lot of neat, new parts that I've integrated into my creations. The castle sets look promising as (...) (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) fiddling with the numbers shows the system sets as being 1.5 to 2 times more expensive (best 7115, 7134 worst 7104) but the technic sets are consitently only 1.33 times. There is no way shipping is so expensive as to justify 1.5 to 2 times (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.starwars)

Hi team, Sorry for the provocative subject header, but you're all here now. This is what I have gleaned from LEGO Australia. Looks like we'll need Kerry Packer's job to afford it all.
