in them just flat out ROCK in most cases.

I have seen many people post in RTL or lugnet.starwars that they were
buying the sets for the parts, because they didn't like TLG's renditions of
the vehicles.

More likely, TLG will attritube the success of the Star Wars line entirely
to the fact that they are Star Wars.  They'll ignore the fact that the
quality of the model designs are head-and-shoulders above anything else
