OMG!  Was it good for all of you too?

Eric...many many many thanks!  Now I know how to set my budget.  I just want
to comment on some of these sets:

7317 "Air pump" controlled giant Mars base

Air pump?  An original idea, but I don't know if I'm going to like this big
air pump getting in the way.  Other than that:   More aliens without
abandoning humans from the theme!  I say that this set is probably the best
bet for original/rare parts other than Watto's junk yard, but I suspect there
will be more pieces like the old burps that will just end up getting put to
the side.

7315 Mars transport (large flexible solar panel)

YES!  For you space enthusiasts and realists...this is an interesting item!
It's hard to tell, but are those some new types of windshields?

Space shuttle
Probably good for parts.

Enemy base compound
RED ARCTIC WALL ELEMENTS!!!!!  Only one though... :(

Rocket launcher
NICE....I had to buy a technic set just to get one of those for my starship's
torpedo launcher.  So Lego is *finally* creating it's own version of tactical
defense installations.

7146: TIE Fighter (very similar to 7150 except the wings)
This will get expensive...I will have a couple at least.

7166: Imperial Shuttle (somewhat good - with two red imperial guards)
I will have to get a couple as well.

7127: AT-ST (awful thing - an insult)
I expected as much...looks like this one won't grace my shelves

7186: Watto's Junkyard (looks like a very good set for parts)
Does anyone know how expensive this one will be?  Also, is Watto's upper torso
a fixed statuette?  I can see that the figure has the standard minifig legs.

7106: Droid Escape (new panels for a 8*8 cylinder - trainheads pay attention)
I will have a ton of these when they come out.

7126: Battle Carrier (7 droids included)
Only good if you want a lot of battle droids.  I prefer protocol droids, astro
mechs and androids!  ;)

(...) I thought it was translucent orange. (...) I think it is in the $35-45 range. (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

(...) found: (...) I do not have a scanner but I tried to get the best pictures I could using Vision Command for Mindstorms. I put 24 pictures on a temporary site (because my official site isn't ready yet). In trying to get the best resolution (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.general) !!
