| | | Has anyone received their <set:9754> Dark Side Developer Kit yet? I did a few days ago. The AT-AT is pretty cool. The articulated knee joints are incredible! I'm going to have to copy these! I haven't built any of the other models, but there are a (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars)
