Well, if you look closely at the box front of set 7315, you
will see that the ship is not actually flying.  It's crashing.
It's always baffled me why LEGO would market a crashing
spaceship, but now I understand that it's a legal thing
with Lucas.  They can't sell any flying spaceships, so they
sell crashing spaceships instead.

Look forward to the "September Surprise" from S@H being
a Galaxy Explorer with its nose stuck into a crater plate.

Anybody up for a Crashing Spaceship Design Contest?
