(...) I must agree that it looks a lot like Res-Q, but I like that color scheme (Blacktron I with trans-blue instead of trans-yellow) so I don't mind. It looks like they have a Divers sub, too.

Hmmm. I think you are right. I haven't really looked at any of the Arctic sets before. They are pretty big slopes, that's for sure. Hmmm. Does that mean that they have the same angle as the sloped Ninja walls? -Andy Lynch ----- Original Message (...) (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

It looks to me like the Imperial shuttle has the new 6-wide canopy piece from the Space Port sets, only it's in the smoke color (yay!) and has printing on it (boo!). Dave Lorbaat <eric@nospam.thirteen.net> wrote in message (...) (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)

(...) 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. 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)

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)
