Tim comes through again.

http://www.fbtb.net/ -- see news for today, 29 Oct.

Warning: certain theme fans (SW, Potter) may like what they see, but System
fans should prepare for disappointment.  Kudos to Lego, regardless, for
creative use of Dinosaurs parts (see "Alpha-Zone").

Haha - nice - "Attack of The 50 Foot Ewok" Thanks for the scans!!! /Jesper (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.starwars)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
(...) Thanks Kevin. But one word...YUCH! Though that off-road Racer truck looks cool. LEGO never fails to dissapoint me. Thank god for those re-issues. (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
Thanks for the scans...but could you post larger scans so we can see the details better Thanks No Stranger to Danger Dark Knight (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.starwars)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
(...) I can second the desire for better, higher resolution scans. Even so, I have the following questions/comments: #4712 -- Hary Potter set. What is that thing -- a white fountain, a sink, a toilet? Is that a pumpkin head? What is the big purple (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
Sweet... new pics and info is always welcome. What does everyone think of the Technic Vader? I think it looks pretty good, but being a low-res scan it could be messy. I also like the twin pod cloud car and the Ewok stuff... but I'm not sure about (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

Please Lego, tell me there's more technic to come than a DDK without Scout and a Darth Vader.... Duq Kevin Johnston <kevinj_sfbay@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:GLzosq.FME@lugnet.com... (...) System (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
One word. Ugh. That has to be the worst group of SW sets ever. I love my SW sets. I love my AAT and MTT. I just don't like any of these sets. They come across as minifig packs or very angular. I see the Ewok sets as the cheap way to get ST's but you (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
(...) To be honest, I don't think disapointment would correctly sum up my feelings. Instead, the phrase "Complete and utter hopelessness" springs to mind. Followups to Town. -- Erin (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.town)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
(...) Thanks Tim! put this in announce for everyone to see. Wow, for anybody who uses greeblies, (mecha or space builders) it is indeeed a good day! look at that destroyer droid! wow! perfect for greebeeling mecha! -Geordan- (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.announce)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
(...) Those new Ogel sub arms appear in spades in the new Alpha Team stuff--and that IS indeed a new canopy type. Very cool. The QUEST seems also to use those new POOP-arms. best LFB (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
  Best new part EVER
 
Look at this: (URL) See the grey pieces on top of 4795 (and on the back of the yellow sub, that stretches across the page seam)? Those look an awful lot like half-versions of the maligned Droid Fighter Wing piece--in short, corner bits! I'm stoked. (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

Is there any new train contents in 2002? Zhengrong (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.trains)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
(...) First i'd like to thank Tim, Second, WHAT IS UP WITH THE MINI_MINIFIG LEGS?!? Do the Ewoks and Gobblins have half-legs? The heads and tourso/body sections seam normal... But the LEGS, i don't get the legs? Hopefully the high-rez pictures will (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
(...) New piece spotting. Check out the eleven-a-side soccer field (3425): (URL) like a rather cool new "sliding" field piece. And if you've already got a field, I think there's a couple in 3421. --DaveL (who will be buying multiples of 7139, Tiny (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
Whoohoo! Anyone else notice Obi-Wan's braid is printed on his shirt? So much for a new hair piece. I don't need more brown hair, I need more brown SW hoods. Maybe we'll see another for under $50 this spring. Love the troll! I want to see that with a (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
(...) That is my feeling as well. Let's hope the summer line-up has more to do with town. More specificly, something that has to do with classic-style town. Ben (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.town)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
I'm a townie & trainaic, who's now drooling, the racers have Red Bald Tyre Wheels! (URL) Look at #4582! New fire engine work? wheres the regular wheel in red!? I also see Green Large Tyre Wheels! More army products? Josh (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.military)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
The new alpha team looks great, much better than the ones we have had so far. These are the kinds of sets that may inspire me to try to build spaceshps again, as lego doesn't seem to be catering to my castle needs much in 2002. Love the new (...) (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
(...) As far as it goes, I think the Droidekas are quite pathetic. However grey battle droids will be nice for a change. Yes, I totally agree that those of us who are not Harry Potter Fans are suffering-hopefully temporarily! (23 years ago, 1-Nov-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
I am somewhat disappointed by the Cloud Car. It looks like it is indeed all in one color, but I can't tell if it is original red or a new shade. The major disappointment to me is that they do not have enclosed cockpits. It appears the Cloud Car (...) (23 years ago, 1-Nov-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
  Where?!
 
Where the heck is the news tab? Can someone explain to me how to find it? This is the second time someone has posted that there were new pictures on FBTB (the time before being the RBR info), and I couldn't find them even after clicking on (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.starwars)
  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
Actually, that big Alpha Team base looks like it has potential to be really nice. Everything else looks pretty terrible...yeah, it's nice to get some of those SW figs in smaller sets, but can you actually build anything with any of them? Sheesh. Lou (...)

  Re: 2002 catalog scans at FBTB
 
(...) Oooo...ooo!!!...!!! Okay, I have to accept that the classic Town, Space, Castle & Pirate division of product has long since changed. They are still around from the old Shop @ Home occasionally, but TLC did a NICE job on the new Alpha Team (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.year.2002)
