(...) 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)

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)
