    UK Exclusive mini Star Wars sets. —Andrew Summersgill
   According to FBTB a UK Star Wars mag' is giving away an exclusive TIE Fighter mini-set on the cover - but I'm completely stumped tracking down a copy. Has anyone had any luck? I can't find one anywhere?! Regards, Andrew. (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.starwars)

     My local newsagent has the £1.99 magazine. The mini tie fighter looks very unexiting. If anybody wants, I can post it to them for £2.40 including p&p in the UK. David (22 years ago, 9-Nov-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.starwars)

If anyone has a spare one, and they don't want too much over the odds for it, please email me. Thanks! Paul. --- (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.starwars)
