| | | | | Rest of Stwar Wars Ssyem line found in Canada
|
| Found the rest of the System line at TRU in Oakville yesterday (Watto's Junkyard, Shuttle). I think they were 10% off but no sign was seen (Watto $62.98, Shuttle $35.98). I came to this conclusion when I saw Watto as Zellers Burlington Mall today. (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| That would be Eric Kingsley's page, The Scythe Squadron, one of the best Star Wars Lego sites I've seen (I'm still waiting for him to show us how to modify the B-Wing like he did!!! Damn they're good!) Here's the link: (URL) on Eric, show us how (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| CUTE??? Its an Imperial AT-ST!!! The designers designed it to look fearsome, deadly, and intimidating! Aauugghh! Ahem. Well I don't think it looks cute, I do think it is fairly good considering the price, and the fact that Lego Designers obviously (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) I love it. I'm having AT-ST, AT-ST, AT-ST, AT-ST, AT-ST, AT-ST, spam and AT-ST for lunch. If LEGO can't give us the goods in the "way-over priced" range of old, at least they are making a bunch of these "decent as a main model but really good (...)

| (...) For some reason I had it in my head that the AT-ST was $15, so I was pretty happy when I saw it was only $10. I agree that the parts were great, but I really would have been happier with even a $15 set and just a little more - a better hip (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| For anybody who's interested: You can make a pretty accurate IG-88 assassin droid with some of the 2001 pieces. Here's what you need: - the gray alien torso from one of the Life on Mars sets - two gray arms from that little alien Life on Mars (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| Alas, I know you're right. But everytime I glance at my classic spacemen, I can't help but think how very cool a rainbow of STs would be. I suppose an AT-AT driver would have the TIE pilot torso printing on white, with a red imperial insignia on his (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

| Am I the only one here who LIKES the AT-ST? I mean it's not perfect, but for $10 it's a great set (and if it were much more, even as a better set, I probably wouldn't have bought it). I'm noticing less and less that TLC produces that I like, and so (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Gasp!!! Those aren't black Stormtroopers. Those are Tie Pilots ;P. As for other colors I highly doubt it unless they do an AT-AT Driver which would either be White, Maybe Gray, with a different printing. Otherwise I would say that the helmets (...)
