(...) Cool stuff: clear 4x4 radar dish, clear Star Wars Cannon pieces. And Jar Jar, the brown cape, solid gray light sabre hilts... Not cool: 1x2 bricks with vertical clips. :( The first sign of Star Wars Jr. (...) Did this set come with two light (...) (26 years ago, 19-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) yup, agreed. (...) <blink blink> bricks with clips are Jr? I find those very useful! It means that I have that many more options whenever I want to use a clip. The pieces they are using, for example, are very difficult to simulate with the (...) (26 years ago, 19-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) If I see someone using these new bricks in a way that couldn't be done with the 1x1 plate clip, I'll change my opinion. So far, I've seen this piece in two sets (7121 and 5976, Adventurers River Expedition). In both cases, a 1x1 plate w/ clip (...) (26 years ago, 19-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
