(...) I'm pretty sure these are grey versions of the Uber-slopes available in the big Arctic base set. eric (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

Is it just me, or does it look like Alpha Team bought a lot of surplus Res-Q equipment when their spy department was founded? eric (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

Yikes! Look at the size of those slopes that make up the top wing on the imperial shuttle! <set: 7166> (URL) can be deceiving, but it looks like they are something like 1 x 6 x 5 with two studs on the top. It looks like only two of them are the (...) (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

(...) Ooph! Sorry but this catalog has me more excited for LEGO than ever. I think they are definitly moving in the right direction! I am not a set collector, I just want the parts for the most part so that might be the differance. I love the Mars (...) (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

(...) The new green is used in several places on 7311 and in the little walker in the 7317 alien base. I like the name "verdigris" green I've seen mentioned in the Statue of Liberty posts. John AFOL and his money are soon parted. (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) Looking at the 2001 catalog pics posted here: (URL) it looks like this "Antique Green" is being used in <set:7311> on the back side of the "wings." So this color is not going to be exclusive to the Statue of Liberty set, even for 2001. BEN (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) Wow, I really disagree with you. I am mush more excited about this year's offerings than those of the past few years. (...) That isn't a big deal, IMHO. While it does make that model a little flimsier, the set is still full of great parts- (...) (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

Jeez. Just quickly looking at the new 2001 scans on FBTB, I can ID all kinds of new pieces, especially new "canopy" type pieces. 1) The Imperial Shuttle set has a new canopy (and definitely has a pilot in there) 2) At least one of the Life on Mars (...)

I am usually pretty optomistic and I have liked many of the sub-par set designs that LEGO has done since '96. But 2001 is the WORST new catalog I've yet seen. Allow me to elaborate: The Life on Mars theme... The 7315 shuttle's whole mid section is (...) (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)
