(...) I'm hoping that that piece will be the equivalent of the "wedge 2x6x1 curved top": (URL) last year. I first saw it in the SW Cloud Car set, but it quickly appeared in a variety of colors in Alpha Team, Racer, and many other sets (it was (...) (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) If I remember correctly from the movie, the computer the assistant operated was indeed a Windows. So, technically speaking, it is movie accurate. Nathan (drooling over the new Spiderman sets even though I never read the comic) Wells (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) Actually I don't believe that is a completely new piece. It also appears in the UCS Naboo fighter that was release last year. And don't worry there are various colors of it in the Make-n-Create sets as well. jt (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

| | New Slope! (was Re: New LEGO photos from Toy Fair 2003)

(...) Look at (URL) and see the burnt-orange piece on the side, furthest forward. That's a new slope! It changes across its 4-brick length from a standard 1x4 brick to a 2x4 45-degree slope, with the same basic curve of slope used in the rounded (...) (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) I was basing this on the color scheme of the two windows open in the middle of the screen. They don't look like my Mac, but the Windows machines in the computer lab across the hall have the same color pattern. Bruce (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Yeah, but if that's a Windows machine, I think it's got an error message window up at the moment. (At least the geometry and placement of the central window suggests it.) But it's actually nice to have a new "real" computer screen. Neat! LFB (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) Hmm, I dunno. Could be any modern (or even semi-modern) GUI. Or is there something specifically microsofty that I'm missing? (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Check out this photo: (URL) computer (printed 2x2 slope) looks to me like it is specifically Windows. Bill Gates is even starting to control the Legoverse. Bruce (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

Hey, Check out this helicoptor: (URL) at the engine on the side, it looks like it's about eight of these windows: (URL) presumably eight on the other side. Bruce (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) Except for the rover which I'm not as sure about (although it has a LOT of parts) I feel thse are all really great prices based on what I saw. The shuttle especially is a treasure trove of parts as well as being a very nifty model in its own (...) (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) Spot on! www.figures.com has nice big pictures, and one can read the MSRP on the placards. $50 for the Shuttle (I can see that... it's not *gigantic*), $30 for the smaller Mars set, $20 for the Apollo set, and $90 for the large Mars Rover. (...) (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) The photos from the German toy fair showed the OV-103 (Space Shuttle Discovery) set number as 7470: (URL) you look at 7470 on Marz Distribution they call it the "Delta Rocket" but have no picture and a suggested retail price of $49.99 each (...) (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

Hey all, Does anyone know what the day the new sets come out for sale? (22 years ago, 17-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) I agree. I'm stunned by the new Town and micro-fig scale space sets. The space station looks cool, and I'm glad to see the Apollo CSM/LM set. The Discovery Mission to Mars set looks especially interesting since it contains both a micro-fig (...) (22 years ago, 17-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) The shuttle, $49.99? No way. At least $69.99, probably more. It's way to big to be that cheap. (22 years ago, 17-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

Hey Y'all, After seeing that all of the new Summer 2003 set still don't have prices printed on the prototype boxes, I've decided to try to predict the prices for some of the sets. Based on the fact TLC mostly uses 'fixed' prices ($6.99, $9.99, (...) (22 years ago, 17-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003, lugnet.general)

(...) Yeah, me too! Now I can finally stop telling people that I'm mentally 12 because if I was to grow older, I would have to stop playing with my LEGO. Mark "quick, think of a new excuse to stay 12!" de Kock (22 years ago, 17-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003)

(...) It looks like the back edge of the display table showing through so I'm guessing a printed window in that frame. Pretty cool looking actually. John #388 (22 years ago, 17-Feb-03, to lugnet.year.2003, lugnet.harrypotter)
