| | | (...) 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)

| | | | | (...) <snip> (...) I believe the cancellation of the Star Wars bucket may have prevented a lot of TLG flaming. Why? Did anyone ever consider what the contents of this bucket would have been? As far as I know, Lego never included "theme-type" pieces (...) (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)

| | | | | | | | (...) It could have been a purple bucket with a SW label on the front and no other difference. We would have railed at that as being stupid and opportunistic. (26 years ago, 6-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)

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)
