 | | Return of overhead monitors! —Eric Joslin
|
| | | Woo hoo! My favorite type of piece as a kid is going to return in the AT-ST set! The 2x2 reverse slope printed as a monitor/control panel! Ok, so this one is a wee bit Star Wars specific... but still, it means I can hold out hope of seeing a more (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | (...) Cool! I always wanted those pieces as a kid (my friend had them and I lusted after them for a good couple years) [I eventually got 3]. Any pics of the new panel? Did you actually see one? *drool* MMMMMMMM.... overhead control panel.... DaveE (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | (...) I know clones aren't generally well-liked, but the semi-mythical male:male connector plate by MegaBloks or TYCO can turn a regular upright computer screen into an inverse, sort of. And you have to tolerate the clone's presence, of course... (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | | (...) We'll start with the fact that I detest clones. I know not everyone feels that way, but I don't like to use them. Apart from that, though, there's a fairly simple LEGO solution... the 'L' shaped plate (the one with a 2x2 area on both sides of (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | (...) Ha! When I saw Slave I, I thought it was a new piece! But apparently it's been in Res-Q in black all along. I've actually woken up and noticed it in other sets as well, like some town ones. In opaque, it seems to have become Town Jr's favorive (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
