They can be crap or good; they can have this piece in such and such color or
that color. I really don't care. I'll just keep buying whatever I find
interesting and using however choose.

Lastly IMO the mech buiders here have made mecha models that Lego couldn't
touch. I'd be a shame to see them take away some of the glory of those
models with inferior "official" sets. Case in point the Millenium Falcon.
That said I'd LOVE to have a Rick Hunter minifig!!!

I saw a silouette of the millenium Falcon in the Lego catalogue before it's
release, I couldn't beleive it when I saw the model, it was terrible. Those
Grey UFO 90 degree plates look awful! It's probably been discussed to death
in the Star Wars group so I'll be brief but it just seems such a cheap way
to build a model.
