My son (age 5) and I just built mine and we had a blast! It's an incredible ship. It's huge too. It's my all time favorite star wars ship. A bit flimsy though, and the highly touted dark red pieces seem to me to just be cheap manufacturing. In fact (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Found my first real batch of 2002 sets at Target today. The report on the suspected 'dark red' color in the Pod Car? WRONG!! It is standard LEGO red, and the darker pieces are the standard LEGO *brown*... I'm very disappointed in this! I was really (...)
