(...) Ah...I don't know about that. The TIE pilot mold is the same as the Stormtroopers. I'm sure the'll have plenty of places to put them in. I still think we'll get these two TIES, though...it seems obvious what TLC is doing. If they have the (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

As soon as I saw this, I remember that "primitive" on a .jpg from Mania Magazine--someone posted it here, don't have the cite atm--but it was rather nifty, and possibly do-able as a $100-class set (or shrinkable to the $50-70 range).
