Hey all,

I love the Star Wars line for the most part, and the click-hinges are • really
terrific.  The only problem is that the click-hinge attachments on the
cockpit pieces prevent them from being connected to other smoke colored
clear pieces because they attach with hinge fingers.  I'd love to be • able to
make a jet fighter cockpit with the X-Wing hinge and the canopy • extension
from the Slave 1!  Here'e hoping we see more smoke colored clear pieces • in
the future.


The click-hinges just don't work well for cockpits, so I hope they drop
that use for them.  They are too stiff for use in the area that is
structurally often the weakest part of a ship.  I'm sure I'm not the only
one who is irritated by how often I've had to fix a broken
cockpit--especially when the kids play with the ships.

The click-hinges are great for holding wings, legs, arms, etc. in place,
and should be reserved for that kind of use.

(...) Yes, I think click-hinges should be seen as user-configurable angle-piece rather than as an opening/closing mechanism. Kerry (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
