    Making new (Star Wars) parts —Jaco van der Molen
   Hi all! Yesterday I got 4 ep I sets from my aunt in America (California). I got the Lightsaber Duel, Droid Starfighter, Naboo Swamp and Anakins Pod Racer. I must say I am very happy with them. Heck, I must be one of few Dutchman to have these sets (...) (25 years ago, 21-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

      (...) Can you package the hinges so they can released as primitives? I haven't checked all the sets, but I can think of 5 different hinge-parts off the top of my head.

      hey john, have you got the other hinge in a releasable state? can you post it to cad.dat? also do not forget to send toe 1 x 4 tile with 5 red and 4 white stripes to tery for the SW mini update. (25 years ago, 22-May-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.cad.dev)
     
          Re: Making new (Star Wars) parts —John VanZwieten
      (...) I got 90% through it last night. The area at the front where the "female" hinge slips in is quite complex, so it may take me a little while. The parts definitely look cool when put together. (...) Maybe I can get this one in shape today. I'm (...) (25 years ago, 22-May-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.cad.dev)

      i assume that the round corner tile from the front of the landspeeder is in the sw mini update? if it is not then it should be also the one part of note that hasn't been done (even in pock-up form( is the tie canopy. anyone want to consider a (...)

   (...) OK, let's put this to rest right now, for those that HAVEN'T seen the movie. The reason there is no second blade is that Maul didn't USE the second blade during the first duel. (...)

     (...) I don't have a problem with them making Anakin's pod one of the three. I think it's neat in it's own way (though not as big and showy as the other two) and it definitely has a crucial part in that scene. The problem I have is with them putting (...)

        Re: Making new (Star Wars) parts —Steve Bliss
   (...) You know, it's funny. I guess I wasn't using my brain right (even after looking at the set), but I had thought the "Lightsaber Duel" set was for *the* lightsaber duel on Naboo, not the minor run-in on Tattoine. It took me awhile to realize my (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

        Re: Making new (Star Wars) parts —Lindsay Frederick Braun
    (...) Yeah, but were it the Naboo confrontation, wouldn't it have to be called a "triel" (or a "tercel" if you prefer) and not a duel? Duel, to me, implies two. I did find it weird that they chose the Tatooine confrontation, but I welcome the (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)

   Now with added spoilers! (just scroll down, Gentle Reader) (...) *Sigh*. Yes, you're right.
