The new #2 liftarms seems nice, I know they're in R2D2 aswell.

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.

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 are they?

They're better (in some respects) than an ordinary ball-n-socket because
they have "click-stops". This helps to restrain movement so that the joint
holds its shape.

Looks like it's an ordinary friction pin that holds it rotary-wise
though, could prove to weak.

No. The rotation is also "clickable" which means it holds its shape quite well.

I think I'll have to grab one of these when I spot it :)

Yes, do that! You won't be disappointed.

They were just sitting there all cluttered together without any prices. I
began jumping up and grabbing a few sets to look at them. I felt like I was
playing basketball, taking "jump shots" to retrive the sets. I attracted a
few kids who were interested and passed the sets to them. We all had a great
time!

Now that must have been a sight! :)

Yes it was! At one point I pulled down too many boxes and it was "raining"
SW Lego sets!

(...) 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)
