Heya all ! I've got two sets:551 and 1555. Set 1551 is a little duck and set 1555 is St. Nicolaus. Both are packer originaly by LEGO in polybags not in paper boxes. Now I want know if there are also other sets in this serie. I guess there might be (...) (26 years ago, 3-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Maybe my hopes were too high. Compare to (URL) for example -- the Lego design is way too stubby and lumpy compared to the long, sleek "real" X-wing. (26 years ago, 3-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
