| | | (Once again, scans are at: (URL) nothing new classic-wise, except the Snowspeeder wings are angled down here-- perhaps hinged? Looks much nicer, and includes a ground cannon. The sneak preview of the fighter craft from the new movie is VERY slick (...) (26 years ago, 5-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | Ninja addendum: I just noticed there appears to be a figure pack (right side of first Ninja page). Can't make out much, though. I thought at first it was the existing small set with three figures, but it has the "1999" graphic next to it. Kevin (26 years ago, 5-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | I noticed that Aquazone, Divers, Fright Knights, and Wild West were missing from the catalog. Discontinued maybe? Oh well, they're worth the sacrifice for SW. Alan (26 years ago, 5-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

I assume that either comes with the Snowspeeder, or is not actually available (but LEGO doesn't seem to put not-for-sale decorative stuff in their catalogs any more). (...) Hugely tall (...)

| | | | | | More completely random thoughts... (...) Ain't that odd? Appears in the main catalog, not in the 1-sheet. Also, the Snowspeeder is slightly different (flat vs. canted wings, plus a spot of red on the front in the 1-sheet version). Maybe the 1-sheet (...) (26 years ago, 10-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | (...) But very common for SW toys. For example: last year, Estes (model rockets) released several new SW rockets (and several re-releases): Star Destroyer, Y-Wing, Snow Speeder (I think--maybe an A-Wing?). ANYway, in their catalog, they didn't show (...) (26 years ago, 10-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | (...) The parallels (again, as with the first series) are amusing as hell. Come to think of it, some underground-type stuff would be cool to see in Adventurers. Saw the boxes today at TRU (most of the entire series). Very nice looking mostly-green (...) (26 years ago, 12-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

| | | | (...) 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)
