I don't know what this is exactly either.  The only thing that comes to mind is
a heavily juniorised version of the Droid Landing Craft.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.  I expect to be disappointed with this
one based on its price point.

It's my only hope :-(.

See #3 above.  Don't get your hopes up.

Could be nothing, Could be a greats parts pack.

Sounds like TLG think these guys are Robots or something.  If so I will be
very, very, very disappointed.


In general I thought the '99 sets were a step back from the '98 sets and I
expect we will be furthur disappointed with the '00 sets.

Like many others I am sick and tierd of LEGO's attitude on this one and the
fact that they seem to be disrespecting the community in general by setting a
double standard (see the Gallary debacle recently).

So because I don't want to cause Todd trouble I won't list the sets but I will
talk about them "speaking in generalities".  If TLC can show it is serious
about communicating with us then fine.  If not then I think its all the better
for LUGNET and other small LEGO businesses (Brickbay, Brickshelf, etc.) because
while I still love the brick my love for the company is slipping.

(...) Just post a link like mine: (URL) has _publicly stated_ that such a link is OK. Perhaps a link to the FBTB site would be nice (I don't have it bookmarked) James (26 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Well, I noticed that the 2001 lineup has been posted over at From Bricks to Bothans, so I guess it's okay to discuss now... just in case though I'll speak in generalities... <G> I'll discuss in the order listed on FBTB: 1) This one's not a big (...) (26 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
