   Hi all,

   Short, but hopefully sweet, request for someone out there
   (who may already have done this!), from a 'Murican drooling
   from Europe:

   Could someone who has the new sets, and would be willing to
   compile a representative sample of new System elements--Life
   on Mars and Star Wars in particular--and scan or photograph
   them so we have an idea of what's coming?  For those in Europe
   considering getting the sets shipped to them before release--
   the UK Lego store people said June 2001 for Life on Mars in
   stores (ack!  This can't be true, can it?)--it might be helpful
   to see images of the new elements to plan purchases.  I have
   three reasons for wanting this:

   1) People in Europe would want to see them. (altruism)
   2) I'm willing to bring some back to .nl and .uk at the end of
      Jan/Feb.  (semi-pecuniary altruism)
   3) I'm impatient and really want to get a look at those 8-wide
      quarter-cylinder walls.  (loutish selfishness)

   Anyways, anyone who would oblige would earn my undying thanks.
   Unfortunately I can't post mailed images (or even receive them,
   what with a 1MB mail limit)--it would have to be on someone
   else's site.

   best wishes and pie-in-the-sky,

   Lindsay

Perhaps I can manage this tonight for most of the Mars and movie sets. I see a bunch of possibly new colors, and some previously Scala or Belville only colors. There's a ton of new parts, including a new flex hose which I think will prove more (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

(...) I'll endeavor to post pics tonight to brickshelf with the new parts I've noticed from the sets I have. (TIE, Droid Escape, & Exploion Studio) Mostly that will be the 1/4 round wall, the 1/4 round plate & the TIE stand. Oh yeah, I think the TIE (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

(...) helmets: (...) in (...) Imperial Commandos wore very dark grey (almost black) jumpsuits (similar to officers) with black "samurai" helmets. You could however make the black stormtroopers from the comic "Crimson Empire" -Lord Insanity (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) probobly the closest helment that lego has made is that exploriens one thats a normal helmet but with hoses. Then again, I have never seen a tie pilots helmet up close. (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
