It would have to tilt this bar at the same time as driving (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars)

(...) We pay more in the UK too, but seriously the SnowSpeeder for me is the best set around. It's good value compared to other Lego, and has a lot of rebuild potential. Also, it's from the original trilogy - the Episode I stuff just isn't the same. (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Just use a regular camera and then go to the store where you get your film developed and ask them to put it on a PhotoCD. Then you'll have images you can use and they'll be nice and archived as well. Cheers, ~Mark (24 years ago, 22-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

Hey Mladen, pretty neat mech! I knew all those Infiltrator parts were good for something! I just finished a "UCS" Imperial Shuttle, and I'm very proud of it.

(...) There is a square hole built up by plates... in reality, it is very very stable. As for reports of the x-wing falling off, well, it is a much much heavier model than the UCS TIE.

That part is also in the 7181 UCS TIE Interceptor, as the collar that sits on the display stand (it's probably in the 7191 UCS X-wing too, for the same purpose, but since I don't have the X-wing yet, I can't say for sure).
