Old alternate images used to suggest ways to build other things with the set
pieces; Star Wars "alternates" only show ways to deconstuct the set. I will
say, however, that the alternate models at the end of some of the larger set
instructions (such as the gray service pack or the Tie/Y-Wing) are a really good
idea (would be better, though, sans those stupid cartoons.)
Lego is really doing themselves a disservice by not putting decent alternate
models on the back of boxes. Alternate modesl used to say, "Hey, look at all
the possibilites that this set offers!). Just putting more images of the set on
the back of the box only says "Gee, bet you didn't know what the set looks like
from this angle!"
