(...) You can't be serious! That they chose red is, IMHO, just absolutely great. It's a orangish red anyway. There was a lot of orange in previous sets (snow speeder for instance) and I am glad to see these very useful parts come out in red rather (...)

(...) I was wondering what that is supposed to be too. Looks kinda owlish. Now that I see it more closely it also looks like a full-face ski mask. Try putting an arctic hood over it.... John #388 (23 years ago, 31-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general)

(...) In my humble opinion the cloud car is rather spiffy actually. It seemed to scale with the the other starfighters and well constructed. In any event in the movies they seemed reddish to me anyway. My eyes! My eyes! What's the matter with them? (...) (23 years ago, 31-Dec-01, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

It's cool that we're going to get four red medium-slope corners in a $10 set, but the set should've been orange. Continuing proof that too many people in the R&D department aren't familiar with the films. Dave "Joel Hoornbeek" <joel@webaccess.net> (...)

Using parts from the Harry Potter sets (particularly the new 4712 "Troll on the Loose" one) it is now all too easy to construct a Headless Horseman mini-fig. I threw this one together and snapped a few pics using the new camera (combo s-vhsc (...) (23 years ago, 28-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.harrypotter) !
