    Re: What is with the Technic Stormtrooper? —Eric Joslin
   (...) !!!! I think you may have missed Todd's point. Anyway, I finally put my finger on what really bugs me about these atrocities, thanks to that picture... they look more like (everyone's favorite Stormtrooper ripoff) *Cylons* than Stormtroopers.

     Hey! Don't insult Cylons like that! ~Mark (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)
    
         Re: What is with the Technic Stormtrooper? —Eric Joslin
     (...) Eh? Which? That they're ripoffs of Stormtroopers, or that the Technic Stormtrooper looks like a Cylon? eric (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

      (...) Yeah, I know BG bears more than a passing resemblance to SW, but the Cylons were a cool design anyway, and way better looking than that Technic abomination, IMHO ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)
    
         Re: What is with the Technic Stormtrooper? —Eric Joslin

Not that this is *necessarily* a bad thing, mind you. I actually kinda like BG (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

        Re: What is with the Technic Stormtrooper? —Jonathan Wilson
     (...) I am really looking forward to this set, not as a set but as a parts pack. Its the only set to date that has the small decorative panels in white. It also has a number of other parts in white and some in black. Plus its the only set that has (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

      (...) I agree. As a rabid mecha fan, I look at those little ball-joint pieces and such and see a great array of mecha parts. I personally can't wait. (...)
