Hey!  You didn't mention the new Star Wars sets!  We're finally getting a
Sandcrawler with 3 Jawas and assorted droids!  Woo-Hoo!  And check out the
latest sections to the modular Death Star sets - finally, the cell block,
and look how it fastens on top of last year's trash compactor!  Cool!  And
check out that hanger bay - it actually holds the Millenium Falcon!  Plus
more cool ships from Episode III!!! And look at all of those white macaroni
bricks on the turret in the Hoth Echo Base set - it's about time we get some
Snowtroopers!  And you gotta love that UCS AT-St!  Wow, TLC has really out
done themselves this time - and they still have the Star Wars license
through 2007!

(...) Yeah. Who'd've thought they'd pay Shaun 'I have too much free time' Sullivan an "undisclosed amount" for his AT-ST design? eric (26 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)
