Yup. I'm his one response. That bucket had precisely four parts that
appealed to me. I gave him my list,anyway - I figure it can't hurt.
I really don't think a bucket is the best choice for this. I'd suggest
picking something like the x-wing, or the Mos Espa set, or one of the model
team sets. They're virtually guarranteed to have a parts selection more
people are interested in. Of course, they've all got a much higher base cost.
Another thing - it's been what, 5 hours? Give it some time.
