(...) I have a strange feeling that all the Star Wars sets will be expensive due to licensing fees. I see an A-Wing, X-Wing, and a Y-Wing. Where's the B-Wing? Maybe in 2000. Alan (26 years ago, 31-Oct-98, to lugnet.starwars)

No They are strictly different. When Snow speeders first appeared, there was no A-wing yet. Besides, Snow speeder is a "ground" vehicle, but A-wing is a star fighter. Actually, Snowspeeders has similarities with Y-wing fighters, since their cockpit (...) (26 years ago, 1-Nov-98, to lugnet.starwars)
