(...) Well-said. Kids don't suffer for being asked to use their brains and develop a few problem-solving skills. IMHO, sets should be designed with attractiveness in mind (and, in regards to SW, with accuracy as well); who cares what color a child's (...) (24 years ago, 22-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Hi Mark, You'll probabloy have more luck posting this to lugnet.publish, which is where I set follow-ups to. Cross-posting to many groups can get slightly annoying when the posts are off-topic to the group - nothing personal! People who read (...)

Hi I use an Agfa ePhoto 1280, which is a bit dated now and has been discontinued, so it has been heavily reduced in price, so if you want one you should be able to find it within your price range at discount stores. It has many 'professional' (...) (24 years ago, 22-May-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.castle)

(...) I'd never say that TLC screwed up the scale, because I know there is no 'minifig scale'. Actually, from that POV, the external-set size is a better 'target scale', because that's what they've used to size the ships they've already released. My (...)

I saw the AAT and MTT in the Fredericton, New Brunswick Toys R Us (hey, where's the backwards R on this keyboard??) on Saturday, May 20. The AAT was $27.99, the MTT was $69.99. Jeff Jardine (24 years ago, 21-May-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.loc.ca)
