Hi, What's the best Star Wars set for us Castle nuts? I've heard all about that grey plates pack (aka 7151 Sith Infiltrator), but grey plates aren't that high on my priority list. So I'm looking for suggestions, or convince me that the 7151 is worth (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

Here is what I found useful: <set:7110> Landspeeder. Two great peasants, two gray macaroni bricks, and plenty of tan elements. Downside: The engines are not too useful. (Challenge 1: Incorportate them into the castle theme). <set:7115> Gungan Patrol (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Jar. (...) <set:7184> Trad Federation MTT - this set's got a lot of bricks, if you're looking for a lot of tan and brown ones. There's also a very nice selection of grey and dark grey bricks. (...) Dude, that city's gonna look spectacular! I (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I certainly didn't have an interest in a Sith Infiltrator or Gungan Sub for my Castles of Pirates stuff, but I found a WalMart that has them for $10 each. Open 'em for parts or just hang onto to 'em for now and trade/sell 'em later to get real (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I'd be inclined to open them for parts. The SW sets (especially, it seems the Sith Infiltrator) have done a fairly decent job of saturating the market, so you'd have to hang onto them for quite a while before getting a good return. Parts, (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) You shouldn't have trouble getting rid of these if you don't find a use for them yourself. The transparent Star Wars laser cannon piece is usefull for putting flying creatures up in the air. The whole stand of course would be usefull in a (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) The Gungan sub is also a very good parts pack. It isn't mentioned as often (it's almost a well kept secret). Lots of dark grey and blue slopes and plates. A bunch of useful figures (which you don't get so many of in the Sith Infiltrator), a (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

Another nice thing about the Gungan Sub is that it has the Star Wars hood in Brown. I think, but am not positive, that it is the only set that has one. What is the "unofficial" name of this hood? I have seen people call some hoods "cowls", but am (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I call them Star Wars hoods, big hoods, new hoods. (sounds like Dr. Seuss, no?) The old ones I call: Old hoods, small hoods, classic hoods, or forestmen or wolfpack hoods. Any others? -- Pawel (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Correct you are! It's the only SW set (well, only LEGO set) to come with the young version of Obi-Wan... (...) Don't think this hood has an unofficial name yet-- but yes, I'm pretty sure that 'cowl' referrs to the Peasant/Wolfpack hoods. (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)
