(...) "When I was a kid" :o) it used to be so simple. :) Well, anyway, the field says "Figures" and not "Minifigs." So if Gasgano is counted, the pit droids should probably count. But the pit droids can't count because they're just regular pieces. (...) (26 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

Not as weird as the (tm) not appearing after the "Sub" part of "Gungan(tm) Sub".
