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 on the sets in the catalogue.
Where are those colours? If they've got bricks in those colours then I
probably will start buying the sets up.
