 | | Summer 2001...
|
|
I didn't see any sets slated for a summer release, except for that Bionicle stuff...and what's up with that stuff, anyway? Are we to assume that the 'Action Team' is this year's 'anticipated' line-up? Not to say that I wouldn't buy them, they're (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

Look closely at the cockpit - (URL) - there is a darkish figure with a yellow smiley and what looks like a red hand. Nice to have a fourth figure for our $30! Maybe there is hope for an AT-ST pilot or two. Other $10 sets so far (Naboo Swamp and (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.year.2001)

When I started working on the computer game over a year ago, there was no "Alpha Team" to speak of, in fact, the game was called something different entirely, and the characters in the game were VERY different. The idea at the time was that the (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

As a designer on the "Alpha Team" project, I'm responsible for the "walking TV" set -- the basic idea is that it's supposed to be the way you ask for help (as opposed to a "help button"). I was sitting in my office one day working on the game and (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

Yeah, I saw that walking computer thing and thought it was odd too. But did you see that sinister looking guy on the top right of that same pic? My guess that it's probably the main 'bad guy' assuming that Alpha team are 'good guys' ~Adam (...) (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

The one female Alpha Team member looks like she has the perfect head for a Lara Croft minifig, she has the red hair too, just needs to be in the Jedi braid and it would be perfect, just add wetsuit. Jason F. (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

I just looked at the Bionicle scan and it looks okay. I might get some, but if the original Throwbots go on good clearance I will buy them instead. I don't understand about collecting masks.
