(...) Yep, it's white. Look at the official set and contrast colors in the middle wing; you'll see a 1x6x5 gray wall in it. You'll see I got rid of all that:) Personally, I'd prefer it white...it looks more like the actual ship in white than in (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Since I haven't seen the Shuttle or AT-ST yet, other than the pics, I can't comment too much. But the AT-ST looks much better than the official one I think. Also, is the Shuttle actually white??? The Lego version, I mean, I thought it was grey? And (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

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)
