(...) is it just me or do some of the racers have POOP bodies, with a minifig head? look at 4582, 4583, 4593, 4595 & 4582. 4584 & 4585 seem to have normal minifigs but those other ones seem to have a single element for their bodies.

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)

I like the orange head. I am with the crowd or "more orange pieces please" so I don't feel like discouraging Lego over that one.
