Hmmm, am I alone in thinking that there are some really great new sets coming out this year? I just spent a little while checking out Jengo Fett's Slave I on at (URL) and I'm really impressed! Perfect canopy! (albeit a POOP, but here it's (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.year.2002)

(...) Those "crazy curved pieces" are mateable with the new slope system, and what's better, they include *half canopy* slopes--I just wish they were in greys, not blue and green. Ah well. :) The hinge panels in tan: They've been available in tan (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.year.2002)

(...) Hey Shaun, thanks for posting this... wow, I wasn't expecting them to put that much more effort into the Ep2 Slave 1! (Hasbro is merely repainting the old mold for their 3 3/4" figure line, so I assumed Lego would simply recolour the old Slave (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.year.2002)

(...) A couple of things I have noticed: The cowling/fairing around the bottom of Slave 1 does not continue beneath the rotating jet arms. This seems anomalous or is the real thing like this too? Two of the hinged panels on the body open up to (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.year.2002)

(...) Yea, those new curved pieces look really cool. I'm sure we will see them in more colors as time goes on. Perhaps we'll see some in a new round of Life on Mars. (...) Still, it's nice to have the hinge panels in tan in quantity. (...) True, it (...) (22 years ago, 3-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.year.2002)

In set 7133 at (URL) Any guesses as to what the part behind the 2x2 round engine intake tiles is? It looks like a 2x2 plate with cutouts sandwiched between the tile and a black printed R2 body. Has this piece been seen before? John - AFOL and his (...) (22 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I think it's 2 or 4 1x1 round plates. If you arrange them that way, that's what they look like--believe it or not! Thanks for the scan address, btw--looks like I'm going to be buying LOTS of 2002 Ep II sets! best LFB (22 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

These pieces are more accurately called "SPUD"s rather than "POOP"s. SPUD==Special Purpose/Useless/Decorative BTW, I catagorize Pirate Hulls and Masts as SPUDs, too. OMFIAMP. -gyug (...) [...] (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.year.2002)

(...) SPUD is a little better term, but the "Useless" part is quite a value judgment. As I always whip out, the LEGO theme which probably provides the most exposure outside our tiny circle of friends is absolutely dependent on pieces some folks (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The bow and stern parts are much more "SPUD'y" than the mid-sections. They (bows & sterns) *can* be adapted to to other uses, especially for large-scale constructions. But their unique shape makes it much harder. Ditto for the masts - they (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)
