(...) I think I was older before I figured out that there were real people in Stormtroopers... (Never mind the fact that Luke and Han get in the suits, obviously they just ripped the panels off the robots! Yeah, that's it...I was an idiot when I was (...)

(...) I accept your point when it applies to some extreme examples of this, and I too sometimes find myself questioning the relevance of certain official lego models, but I do not see that this can be applied globally. Many of these parts (half (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) 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. (...)

(...) But the head of the R2-D2 is basically a quarter sphere, isn't it? Even with some printing on it, it is more generally useful than a Stormtrooper helmet would be. (...) I think it is a daring move from TLC to launch a set like this, which (...) (25 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 (25 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) No I am just suggesting a helmet. They did the head for R2-D2 in the Droid Developers kit... I am not suggesting a bunch of new parts, just one or two so the head looks right.

(...) I don't understand this. You said that you liked the minifig Stormtrooper, which is basically a new mold and some new printed parts (I suppose). And you would also like a the larger Technic Stormtrooper to have new molds to make it look more (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)
