(...) I agree that the hands in the cockpit are yellow, but I seriously doubt the fig is Palpatine. LEGO has *never* done that before (put "multiple" copies of a fig in a catalogue shot- unless they're generic figs that there are multiples of in a (...)

(...) I don't understand this. You said that you liked the minifig Stormtrooper, which is basically a new mold and some new printed parts (I suppose). And you would also like a the larger Technic Stormtrooper to have new molds to make it look more (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) Yeah, its been discussed already. It appears Lego tried to insert an overlay to change the hands to the correct color, but the overlay slipped down during the scanning process and wasn't caught. Jason F. (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Nah, I think it only comes with 3 and that is Palp in the cockpit(multitalented guy, eh). The red looks like flash flair. My picture looks like his hands are yellow in the cockpit. Just my opinion. Jason F. (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.year.2001)

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?
