My two cents: - I'm not a big fan of the UFO hull pieces, but if they allow it to be produced at something other than an outrageously small scale because of weight/cost savings, I can live with it. - Since this is a preproduction prototype, we can (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Does anyone else wish they'd just include 'regular joes' with the various sets some times? Like the X-Wing Fighter, Snowspeeder, Tie Fighter, Naboo Fighter. It's annoying, to us that buy multiples (at least me) to have 10 Luke Skywalkers. It'd be (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
