I don't think your problems are Mac-related, Matt. I use a G4 and it works fine. Brickshelf doesn't seem to like my zip files, however, so I have to upload one at a time. ~Mark (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Thanks for the tips, Frank. I think I found the "upload" page...is it the selection that says "edit icon?" That's the only place where I found anything remotely close to what you described. Then, when I searched for the image I wanted to upload and (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Hey everybody. I finally secured a digital camera (Sony CyberShot). I'm ready to upload some files to Brickshelf. I visited the site today, and I'm not quite sure how to send pics.

I think it'd be cool if LEGO made some UCS weapons like lightsabers (they do have this as an alternate for the minifig x-wing, but it could stand to be way more detailed), blasters, etc a technic blaster that could actually shoot would be nice, but (...)

(...) They also made the "Rebel Transport" from ESB (The ones they use to escape from Hoth). It wasn't a playset, it was the complete ship. Basically, you could stand all your action figures in it. It was completely out of scale. Kev Z #142 (24 years ago, 19-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I seriously doubt they'll do a Star Destroyer, or the Mon Calimari Cruiser, or even a blockade runner, unless they do them as a UCS set. A proper mini-fig scale Star Destroyer would be quite large, and quite expensive. Basically it would require a (...) (24 years ago, 19-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)
