(...) know. Hi Mark I've yet to give out an eight stud rating (but I still have LOTS of reviews to reprint). I believe I did give a seven stud rating to the 7150-TIE Fighter/Y-Wing set and I'll probably be giving seven studs to the 5988 Forbidden (...)

Hi Joseph, This is not a criticism but a genuine question; what sets have you given an eight stud rating? I really like your reviews and always read them (in fact I save them in a seperate file). I noticed that even on the Adventurer sets you (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-99, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.reviews)
