    Question about scale —Thomas Jost
   Hello all! I have a question on scales: what exactly does microfig scale mean? Is this just any scale smaller than minifig?

     (...) Well, the way I understand it is that a "Minifig" scale models are models where the scale is large enough to accommodate lego figurines.

     (...) To be honest, the RBR is about 2 to 3 times smaller that minifig scale, it should be much bigger. I would consider this a big microfig or something inbetween micro and system. Jeremy Scott xpost to .starwars (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.starwars)
