(...) After what I considered to be a dismal 1998 lineup, my expectations for 1999 were low. However, I'm not really a Star Wars nut, but the sets look awesome! Rock Raiders looks interesting. When I saw the words "Space Port" I don't know quite (...) (26 years ago, 9-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) It's a bit of confusion on the part of the people who gave you those dates. The /regular/ catalog lists the SW sets as being available at the earlier date. The /direct/ catalog (i.e. Shop@Home) will not have SW until July. Hope that helps. J, (...) (26 years ago, 9-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
