I know a lot of you probably already have some of these sets, or have read comments about them, but I wanted to put in my 2 cents... Personally, I like the new Mars theme. Sure bets the hell out of things like UFO and Insectoids! Something more (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.space)

(...) I've tentatively identified them with the names: Grey-Green - same as Statue of Liberty color(?) Grey-Red Grey-Blue Grey-Purple. They are lighter in tone than than regular colors, but also have a 'faded' look to them - hence the 'grey'. BTW, (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.space)

I saw that too, as a advertisement before "Meet the Parents". Pretty cool, I thought, to see it advertised so mainstream. And a great place to advertise it too. Very precise marketing. Speaking of no Studios newsgroups yet . . . sounds like a good (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

(...) My biggest problem with it, as a D&D player (although I haven't been in a campaign for a couple years now), was that the characters didn't act like D&D characters.

Hey all.... (I am placing this in lugnet.year.2001 only because there is no lugnet.studios group- since it's moved into a full-blown theme, should there be one?) I went to the movies on Saturday night to see "Dungeons and Dragons". Before the movie (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

(...) The picture is the alternate model for LoM 7310 'Mono Jet' - it comes in a small box and not a polybag. So do the Studios 'Camera Man' and 'Stunt Man' sets. But you're right - the stunt man is a bit cheesy. The Mono Jet is worth the small (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.space)

Lego have already had a fire engine in the Technic range, and people sometimes mistake my red mobile crane for a fire engine, so does that count? :-) I like the idea of an ambulance - what functions would you have in (...)
