I made a quick trip to Wal-Mart last night[1] and discovered all the new 2002 SW sets (except for the Yoda sculpture). Here are pictures of the parts and a few close up shots: 8011 Jango Fett $30: (URL) Super Battle Droid $35: (URL) haven't had time (...)

Hey man thanks for the joint pics!! Those joints remind me alot of the Alpha Team arm-thingies. Those are going to be fun to tinker with!! As for you getting those sets, you are one lucky guy. I work at Wal-mart and got busted snooping through the (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The new #2 liftarms seems nice, I know they're in R2D2 aswell. (...) Some other bloke also mentioned this to lugnet.build.mecha but I find your information a lot better e.g. how though they are etc.. Compared to the Bionicle joints how though (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) They're also in 8010 Darth Vader. A 1x2 liftarm is part I've been wanting for a long time. I'm really happy that there are an abundance of them in the new sets. (...) They're better (in some respects) than an ordinary ball-n-socket because (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) A project I'm working on could sure use them to decrease bulk a tad, but that would restrain my budget. It's too early in the building stage to know if I'll keep the design as is or totally rebuild it. Other than this time I don't remember me (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I think you'll find many uses once you know the part actually exists and you own a few. Truthfully, I've only come across a few times when I've thought that a 1x2 liftarm would be useful. But now that I have a few of them, I'm using them all (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) No problem! I also should note that since posting, I've put it together. The new "purplish" parts on the 8012 are more blue than purple. In the process of scanning the parts, the blue was discolored. (...) Well, they did have them all crammed (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I just returned to my local Wal-Mart to find all the new 2002 SW sets missing. They also pulled some of the earlier releases too (like 8009 and 8010). I guess they got excited and took everything back to the store room. TJ Houston, Texas (23 years ago, 7-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.starwars)
