(...) 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 (...) (23 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 (...) (23 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 (23 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) 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 (...) (23 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 (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)
