(...) Yeow -- Having a bad day, Tom? We don't know for -sure- (like officially) that the SW bucket is for-sure totally totally cancelled. Just that LSI in Enfield told retailers that it was being pulled. TLG may still (God, let's hope!) change its (...) (26 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) I could see these sports sets being big. They could sell them at the stadiums and have team-connected sets. More crossover business for Lego. I can just imagine the Michael Jordan minifig selling like crazy at Chicago Bulls games. (...) I (...) (26 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) It sounds plausable to me (not their reasons for cancellation, but the fact that it may have been a FreeStyle bucket because of the name that S@H had for it: "3+ Star Wars Bucket"). But I'd still rather see a sucky juniorized SW bucket than (...) (26 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.general)

I won't be happy if it is. Think about it - the SW sets are heavy in dark grey plates, and orange, green, and purple bits. A bucket would have parts in colors we've never seen in buckets before. I could care less if it had any minifigs at all, as (...) (26 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) They are? I haven't bought that many SW sets as I couldn't see many bricks in them I wanted. I only bought the landspeeders because of that intriguing light green plate and all the brown bricks. But I don't recall seeing any orange or purple (...) (26 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yea, I bought two based on price per part. Judging from Sebulba's racer (haven't built the others yet) I would say its a good buy. Assuming the Star Wars bucket followed some of the color patterns of the Star Wars set, it would be awsome. It (...) (26 years ago, 6-May-99, to lugnet.general)
