| | | | | We also need to come up with a good name that refers collectively to all these action-figurish technic sets. Mecha, maybe, but that word makes me think of all the Gundams and such built out of brick that I've seen on the web. On a related note, I (...) (24 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | (...) I know slizer is the name for the throwbots, per se, but the other things are closely related (at least IMO) and they need the same group. Slizer sounds cool, anyway. (...) It's a Europe-only set. Darn. (...) I know! I've already come up with (...) (24 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | (...) these (...) That's not what I mean. Slizer and Throwbots mean the same thing, the latter is the American name and the former is what is used in the rest of the world. What one word or short phrase can we use instead of "Throwbots/Slizers and (...) (24 years ago, 23-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

|
| | | | | | | What I meant by "the other things" was roboriders and bionicle, which were obviously inspired by the success of throwbots. I live in the US, so the use of the word slizer confused me as well at first, but I think most everyone knows what it is now. (...) (24 years ago, 23-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | | (...) That's kind of similar to what TLC did for the 8485 set back in 1995; the T-rex dinosaur was the featured model in the S@H catalogs, but the main one actually turned out to be the helicopter, with the alternate being the T-rex... (24 years ago, 24-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | | | (...) In cases like this, I define the main model to be the one that uses all the parts and the alternate model to be the one that only used about 2/3 of them. Remember Millenia Throwbot? The little guy on the bike was the main model and the big guy (...) (24 years ago, 24-Dec-00, to lugnet.technic)
