Haha,
good to know that the European sets are coming with the new "hard cardboard"
boxes. the Slave 1 is not closed with a seal, you'll have to push a flap
first and the entire box has a strong structure.
TLG, introduce this method in the US too, at least for the Star Wars sets,
there are too many Star Wars fans out there...
I'm sorry for the US folks, I feel with you. But on the other hand, you get
the sets for half the price we have to pay here, argh!
Bye, Christian.
