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. (26 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 (...) (26 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.general) !!
