I almost have as many of those helmets as I do Jar Jar's but the difference is I have a use for those helmets. Jar Jar can be bantha foodo for all I care.

Thanks for the input, I think i'll probably go for the shuttle. it looks like it has more of the typr and colour of parts that I need. allot of the pieces in wattos set are green by the looks of it and i don't need green at all. thanx (...) (24 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.starwars)

I really like Watto's Junkyard, but the price tag is admittedly a bit of a kick in the pants. The shuttle is definitely a better "Star Wars" set, in my opinion - more playability, a better display model, some nice minifigs, etc. etc. However, if (...) (24 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) If you're going to sort them, DON'T do it by color. It's the most obvious choice, but it's a bad idea. Sort by size and type instead. Think of it this way: Say you want a blue 1x4 brick. Would you rather dig through a pile of blue bricks, or a (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.storage)
