(...) I think TLC is just trying to milk the contract with Lucas for all it's worth and I think they have found the Technic line a bit of a hard fit, which I bet they didn't expect. I am a hugh SW fan but none of this Technic SW stuff has interested (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) !!!! I think you may have missed Todd's point. Anyway, I finally put my finger on what really bugs me about these atrocities, thanks to that picture... they look more like (everyone's favorite Stormtrooper ripoff) *Cylons* than Stormtroopers.

(...) what the threaad was all about and saw the original set. ;-)... and even then it took another view of the frame to get it. ;-) I'd say you proved a point, Todd, at least to me. ;-) I'm no fan of technic, and no major-fan of SW (went to see the (...)

(...) Man, you guys are tough critics! I'm no SW expert, but I don't think it really looks *that* bad. Here's a frame from SW:Ep4 for comparison -- (URL) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(URL) so jazzed that trans-red seems to resurfacing in the Alpha Teams sets. There's also a trans-red X-Wing/Y-Wing click-hinge cockpit. BTW, look closely at the baseplate at the bottom. It appears to be a Paradisa plate in dark gray. YESSS! Dave (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

That's essentially how I see them. The Stormtrooper will be a great source of white Technic parts and C3P-0 has some interesting gold parts and gold decorated tiles.

(...) My wife suprised me with the Pit Droid last Valentine's Day, and while I really like it for sentimental reasons, I've done just about nothing with the parts.
