I noticed that the new poll on FBTB asks whether we need/ want a Queen Amidala minifig. I would be a little surprised if they _never_ made one. Look at the Classic SW LEGO logo: Han, Leia, R2, Luke, Vader, Stormie, Fett -- all in sets. And the Ep1 (...) (24 years ago, 6-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.
