(...) Aaarrghghghhh! I just spent over 700 guilders (that's about 260 dollars) on Shop at home. Now I'll have to wait untill the end of next month for my next pay-check to arrive or else I won't be able to eat. Don't get me wrong: S@H is doing great (...)

This thought occured to me when I saw the FBTB announcement... Now, I know Tim knows his Star Wars and his LEGO, but unless someone has pictures soon, there is an outside chance that some of the information Tim received was mistaken, to wit: (...) (23 years ago, 23-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) There is at least a little bit of grey area when it comes to the use of names not actually in the movies. We are evidently getting a Lobot figure in Jan. I just watched the trilogy last night and noticed that the name Lobot is not even in the (...) (23 years ago, 23-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)

BTW - also bear in mind that only in the 'expanded universe' (everything Star Wars OUTSIDE the movies) is the ship even identified at all. At no time IN the movie is the ship refered to as anything other than "The Princess' Ship". And now a bit of (...) (23 years ago, 23-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)

I expect a rather wild mix of white, tan, light and dark grey, with the new dark red only used for markings (stripes). Take the UCS X-wing for example. The designers at LEGO are said to be color-blind at times, but I hope they're not THAT (...) (23 years ago, 23-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)

The Tantive IV was the Rebel Blockade Runner. To paraphrase the Star Wars Behind the Magic CD "[The Empire belived the Rebel Blockade Runner to be a massive battle platform but discovered it was just a run of the mill Corellian Corvette.]" As for (...) (23 years ago, 23-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Please tell me this thing is gonna be more grey then white. I was really disapointed with the white on the UCS x-wing and the Shuttle. IMO just about every ship in the SW universe should be more grey then white. And the original batch of white (...) (23 years ago, 22-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Yeah, the Dinosaurs boxes say that they "transform" too. ;^) None of the Star Wars movies showed the Blockade Runner in any color other than white (with a stripe). Unless LEGO is beginning to do some "expanded universe" stuff, I wouldn't count (...) (23 years ago, 22-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)
