Wow, good topic! Although the entire 80's seemed really great, I started collecting Lego in 1991 so it's hard to rate the years before. So I'd have to say 1999 was my favorite year.

Joe, I love your Ackbar! Especially from an angled view, you really captured the "feel" of the character. I think the best part of the sculpture is that Ackbar's eyes ... well, really just "make" the bust! (21 years ago, 27-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)
