Not only that, but they come in cheap sets! You can buy a skiff, the lightsaber
duel, the landspeeder, and the Gungan Swamp for all under $10, I think... Now
all they need to do is offer a padme fig (or at least the hair) in a cheap set!

--I still have yet to find another upper torso that works with desert Luke's
printed legs... I figure it's got to be a white tunic/robe torso... the one
that's there works well, although you have to pretend not to notice the little
gizmos on his belt (although they could be anything, I suppose)

Is this the first time that brown hands have been offered? I can't think of
another set that had them....

Unfortunately, yes! I WISH other themes had the same quality designs and peice
selection that Star Wars has... Although I suppose it's good in a way... It
keeps me from buying Town Jr!

Is it any wonder why the SW stuff is fleeing the shelves and not some of the
other stuff they've been turning out? Hydronauts, Stingrays, Town Jr, the
Amazon Adventurers, Insectoids, and Wild West stuff just sits there on the
shelf at most toy stores I've seen... SW sets just fly off! (Although granted
it's mainly the classic SW stuff that seems to sell well... the Episode I stuff
I still see a lot more of than the classic stuff)
