A tragedy indeed, Bryan. Even though the SW 2001s are here on the East coast, not all WMarts have them, and those that do have a meager stock (as far as quantity). For example, I discovered upon returning to the WM that I found every new SW set now (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

This is a long story about my failure in searching for the 2001 SW sets. It's fairly long, so you may want to skip it, unless you enjoy this kind of thing. Last night I went on a search to find some of the 2001 SW sets here in Colorado Springs, (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

This is my latest AT-ST Scout Walker. I think the arrangement of plates makes the face look quite authentic, although the face may be a little too long overall. The legs are a bit naff, but I thought I'd show it anyway: (URL) also something cunning (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I know I've seen pics of a lego imperial probe droid. This one was good and was a little larger than a minifig. The top was either 2x2 or 4x4. It had a 1x4 black antenna as a leg which was how it stood. I believe I saw the model at Brickshelf. Does (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)
