    I don't have the XT 5 but every blue spaceman I have has the 193b helmet and MUST have come in all those sets that say came with the 193a.

    Unless I lost or had stolen every blue dude from my collection and somebody secretly replaced them with 193b helmeted men without my knowledge.
    I'd inform Peeron and Bricklink if I wasn't so damned lazy.
    So those sets you've had since new with the blue space dudes?

    It's not easy to find the 193a blue helmets. I have one coming from a bricklink order, along with a white and three yellow a helmets.

    I also checked the motorcycle set 6654 I have (The only other set with a blue helmet that I have), and that one has the 193a. It's only the space ones I have that have the B, but I got all of those 2nd hand.

    I'm prepared to go out on a limb with this assumption and say that no Space sets came with the blue 193a helmet as by 1984 when blue dudes appeared in Space sets the 193b was already out. Any blue 193a's are going to be from earlier Town sets that had helmeted minifigs in.

    It's funny though, when looking at the offical lego pictures, (instructions), I could clearly see on some of them that they should have had the 193a helmets. So yea, back to what I said earlier, could it have been a cockup by lego themselves in taking pictures of things and then changing what they actually put in the sets?

    The combined feature for 8100, 8102, 8103:

    He is one helluva a mean mech. Arguably my most favourite to date though I did have to make a few mods to get everything fitting more snugly as well as balanced. The original design up on the Lego website was too front heavy with the chest. Very awesome and highly recommended.

    It's stuff like this that blows my mind away. It's not just the scale but the intricacy of the design. From the roof tops to the columns to the vehicles, there's just so many places I scream "how".

    Can someone show/tell me how that wall curves so much when the pieces all appear to be straight?

    The wall segments aren't actually attached. They're all free standing and overlap.

    I think they use a bunch of these (a) and these (b).
    The trick would be that they are not solid blocks. You can see here that they are hollow. Attaching (a) to the back of one of the boxes, and (b) to the front of one, they can be joined and put on an angle. The lower one is build up on the front facade to make it look like one solid wall.
