And his head should pop off if you hit it.

[BTW: Anyone else think the Technic C3PO looks like a monkey?]

Did someone just turn up the "fun" knob?

Imagine somewhere is a set designer, and a mischievous intern informs him of
all the ways his model has been mocked...

Actually this is one thread I really hope LEGO and the designer(s) involved do
read, or at least catch wind of.  Although LEGO will never admit to a screw-up
like this one they can at least file it away and say internally "you know those
LUGNET folks got it right" or "man those LUGNET folk don't know what their
talking about" when a year or two has past and this set is either a bomb (my
bet) or a success.

Something that nobody seems to have brought up yet, what is the idea of having two different kneecaps? Martin (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)
