(...) What's wrong with that? A full-sized mini-figure torso has no alternate uses either. I really want a few of the new figures because 1) A new figure is for once smaller than mini-figures, sort of in-between "mini-fig" and "micro-fig" scale. I (...)

(...) I wonder about that every time I see a zillion of those sets still setting on the shelves. Could it be that, in order to secure the Spielberg/LEGO Studios deal, it was necessary to license Jurassic Park III? Is there any way to find out? Dave! (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.year.2002)

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)
