Has any one else noticed what looks to be like 2 sets of hands for him in the shuttle set? It seems that he has black ones, but if you look close there appears to be a yellow set too. One attached to his "cane" and the other "floating" inside his (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

This isn't meant to be directed at anyone in particular, but given the currently available range of LEGO pieces that have been seen in Technic sets lately, could anyone out there have done better? TLG's designers did a reasonably good job, given (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) C-3PO is the better of the two, but they're both pretty bad. I think the problem here is both sets were guys in suits, as opposed to last year's technic droids which were all cgi constructs. Plus, half the appeal of last year's droids was that (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

Look closely at the cockpit - (URL) - there is a darkish figure with a yellow smiley and what looks like a red hand. Nice to have a fourth figure for our $30!
