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)

(...) 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)

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.

Sorry to follow myself up: Interesting notes abound on the fbtb scans Tim kindly did of the 2001 brochure. 1) The top of the new TIE is a 4x4 radar with printing. Then again, the AT-ST side panels are 4x4 dishes too. 2) There is indeed a black (...) (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

I think they meant to prevent a sequel with their models. And while the sequel was more or less not good and did come out, it doesn't look like it was created by the same team who did 2001.
