  Re: TIE fighter stand?
 
(...) I saw this on FBTB as well. Kind of interesting because the actual TIE Fighter is supposed to be able to "stand" on its wings (though the Empire is against it because it allows for independence) and the way TIE fighters are stored is by being (...)

  TIE fighter stand?
 
If you look ((URL) beneath the TIE right next to the Stormtrooper there is what looks like one of the new girder pieces first spotted in the MovieMaker Set (1349). I saw this but assumed it was just part of the background. However, according to FBTB (...) (26 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.year.2001)
 
  Re: What is with the Technic Stormtrooper?
 
(...) Vanishing from technic since at least 1996. It's okay, in my mind, as long as it all remains compatible. Duplo -> System -> Technic. (And -> Znap, but that's not exactly the same progression.) (...) So are the black connecter pegs technic? Or, (...) (26 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

  Re: What is with the Technic Stormtrooper?
 
(...) True, true (like in the Wassup ad) There are several problems that now plagues the Technic Sets (yes I am a fan and yes I will own those two). First: where are the studs? This is how a Lego brick is recognized worldwide. Bring back the studded (...) (26 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)
 
  Re: Alpha Team Equipment
 
(...) Yeah, but I bet some careful application of Brasso would help with that little skin condition. (26 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)
 
  Re: bionicles
 
(...) Not Japanese. (The Japanese language has no 'l' sound (it would be writen 'r'), plus the 'tu' syllable is questionable (it would be pronounced 'tsu').) Looks more Polynesian to me. And the story sounds Polynesian. I think the original (...) (26 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)
 
  Re: New Things in Certain Colours (was: rare colours in: Life on Mars)
 
(...) I thought the purple was the McDonalds Happy Meal #5 (grimace) Purple. If so, that would be great. That was an awesome color. KL (26 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.year.2001)
 
  Re: 4th Imperial shuttle figure....
 
----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Majewski" <citrusx__@yahoo.com> (...) Actually, when the rebels landed on the moon of Endor to take out the shield generator, Han piloted the Shuttle that they had captured from the Imperials. -Andy Lynch (26 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: 4th Imperial shuttle figure....
 
(...) Well, IIRC, there was actually a scene in one of the movies with Chewie in an AT-ST and I'm pretty sure that Han was never in the shuttle. My guess is it's a generic Imperial officer like the generic Theed guard in the Flash Speeder that is in (...) (26 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
 
  New Things in Certain Colours (was: rare colours in: Life on Mars)
 
(...) The purple looks like the pastel lavender I get out of Belville sets, but that pink is a bit odd--if you look at Scala it has two sorts of pink, and I gather that the Life on Mars pink is the lighter of these two. (...) Check this out: I think (...) (26 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.year.2001)
 
  Re: 4th Imperial shuttle figure....
 
(...) This might be a long shot, but what about Han being in the cockpit? I know it wouldn't make sense with the other figs being Palpatine and the guards, but if they put Chewie with the AT-ST, why not Han with the shuttle?

  Re: How many hands does Palpatine have?
 
You're the first, again. (; It keeps happening to Palpatine: he's like the guy who is forced to relive his last hour over and over. Each time the catalog hits a new set of eyes, bam! it's a fresh slate of four hands. Have pity on him. (But then, he (...) (26 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)
 
  How many hands does Palpatine have?
 
Fellows, I dunno if anyone noticed this yet, but looking at the catalogue picture it seems that Palpatine has four hands- two black and two yellow. Any ideas on how this happened? Chris (26 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)
 
  Re: 4th Imperial shuttle figure....
 
(...) The hands in the cockpit do indeed look yellow, but I'd bet real money (if I had any) that the fig in the cockpit is a classic smiley, not Palp's scowling face. And he's wearing a hat, not a hood. It's not Palp. (26 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.year.2001)

  Re: Sorting the new Subthemes
 
(...) I hope not. I'd like to see it tie in with last year's Space Port stuff -- that seems very natural. I'm surprised they gave it different number. I guess I'll have to buy a lot. :) (...) This seems to be something like Rock Raiders -- a (...) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, lugnet.year.2001)
 
  rare colours in: Life on Mars
 
Hi Paul, (...) From what I can see this "pink" is not from the Belville or Paradisa line (and I own a lot of these). Instead, my guess is that it's one of the 'unpink' light red Scala colours that were released in 1997 and 1998 which were then (...) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.year.2001)
 
  Re: Sorting the new Subthemes
 
(...) My thoughts are: Life on Mars is designed to be a short-lived (1-2 years) play theme completely separate from Space or Town. The set numbers we know so far are 7310, 7311, 7312, 7313, 7314, 7315, 7316, and 7317 -- the smallest being 7310 and (...)
