Jake,

Any chance for a bulk discount on these?  ;-)

Question on the chrome parts - The engine intakes, the middle "straight" part
(behind the nosecones) - is that a wheel rim from the smaller sponge tires?
(http://guide.lugnet.com/set/5248)  It looks like it could be, but it's too hard to
tell from the one pic (http://www.fbtb.net/naboofighter/10026_prod.jpg)

If so, I'm going to go broke on this set :-/
