(...) I got one of these for Christmas, and I too had a mix of opaque and translucent pieces. My guess is that they are using two different types of plastic and they haven't matched the colors quite right. -- Tim Buchheim (23 years ago, 2-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Hey, I managed to pick up all the new sets at Toys R Us in Oakville. They trickled in one at a time starting a few weeks ago with 8009 (R2D2), then Ewok Attack, them Final Duel I, II, Jedi Defense I, then a few more days (week before Christmas or (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) C'mon, these parts will show up elsewhere, and getting them in a common color like red is almost a lock. Whereas, it's now almost a lock that we'll never get this set in the proper color, the color that every other toy Cloud Car since the 80's (...)

It's cool that we're going to get four red medium-slope corners in a $10 set, but the set should've been orange.
