   See the grey pieces on top of 4795 (and on the back of the

   is pretty cool--almost better than new canopy bits.  They
   may, however, be slightly curved, which would be a bummer
   with respect to mating them with the 6x8 roof pieces.

   I do wonder if they've got 20-wide cylinder sides, though,
   given the 4795 image, or if those are just paper inserts.

Tim comes through again. (URL) -- 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 (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.starwars) !!
