The concave corridor corners you speak of are in the set. If only they had used
these pieces to make corridors in the MF, since they're basically the same
shape. I've been doing that a lot lately, looking at other Lego lines and
thinking "hmmm... I wonder if this set has new pieces that are being 'filed
tested' before Lego uses them in new SW sets..."
Personally, I like the arctic sets. There are some juniorized parts, but what
I've found odd is that a lot of basic shapes have been juniorized. Why is
that? Why spend all that money to make new molds for a new piece that can
already be made from three existing bricks? I can understand juniorizing all
the complex shapes that are virtually impossible to build with existing bricks,
but why juniorize basic wall shapes? Seems quite silly (which I'm sure has been
said many a time).

| (...) Wauugghh! Yah, you said it! :-( I saw an MOC the other day which did use these (in white, from old Futuron sets and more reently in a Divers set) and they looked *SO* excellent there. Maybe we'll see a UCS MF with these in gray! (drool) --Todd (25 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.town, lugnet.starwars)

| I think that LEGO's point is to reduce the piece count to make it easier for children to put together. Actually, I have a love/hate relationship with the juniorized pieces. On the one hand, they do reduce the complexity (bad), but on the other hand, (...) (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)
