(...) I have to agree that there is reason to be concerned about the Falcon. My prediction: great pieces, severely under-scaled. I don't think that it is possible to do the Falcon justice (Minifig scale) with less than a thousand pieces, but, (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Is it just me or does the Flash Speeder come with two 4x4 hinge plates and two 1x4 plates with horizontal hinges? I don't know the names sorry - really basic pieces though (4x5 when put together). It'll be great to have a ready supply of these in (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
