| | | Many, many thanks, Eric, for the list and pics! Am I going crazy or do I remember seeing white TIE fighters for the last 23 years? I know color accuracy is a big complaint in the Star Wars line, but in this case the difference is literally black and (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) Slow down there! The Kenner TIE fighter toy was very, very white. Because of this, a lot of people remember the TIE fighter as being white in the movie (kids like me had a lot more exposure to the toys than the movies for years, after all). (...)

| | | | | | (...) For years before the toys were common, there were Star Wars cards. If you were a kid in 1977 you spent a lot more time looking at these than the actual movie. My prize Red #131, obtained in a gum pack in 1977, shows Darth Vader's fighter the (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | TIEs have always been dark blue in the films —David Simmons
|
| | | | But the toy manufacturers never seem to get details like this right. I remember quite clearly that in addition to the TIE toy being the wrong color, it also had only one laser light that was the wrong color (red) when it should have been green! They (...)

| | | | (...) Look what they did with the AT-ST! They don't even have the right figure with it! Seriously, I'm very dissapointed with the AT-ST. It looks around $15, and I was looking forward to buying about a trillion at that price, simply because the'd be (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)
