| | | 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 (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

| | | | | 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 (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

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.
