Absolutely it's worth it! It also took me around 5 hours to build it, and what a blast! The way that the shape of the cockpit is achieved is terrific design because that's a difficult shape to make from bricks and plates. The parts are varied and (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Thanks, I ended up calling Lego Consumer Afairs and they were able to help me. (I also ended up spending $300 on the UCS Yoda and the Blockade Runner) Good to know I can always get help here Wayne Kevin Powell <kpowell@si-net.com> wrote in message (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The rotating ball has a cross-shaped hole on one end of it. The technic post or axle that protrudes from the shoulders. The post on the body goes in the hole on the rotating ball. I didn't have any trouble with my vader model, I hope you can (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The big tripod gun would be an e-web blaster Shaun was talking about in the previous post. I found a post that shows it on the Star Wars CCG web site. (URL) seen some pretty good fan created e-web blasters... you could try the customs portion (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I haven't seen the movies in a while, but I seem to remember a scene in the attack on Hoth where several stormtroopers are assembling some heavy kind of laser weapon thing on a tripod, probably the equivalent of a 50 cal machine gun, or perhaps a (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

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)

Just building the Dart Vader Technic and I have run into a few problems. 1st, the instructions show the body to be complete with just a post for the head, but the head instructions show a rotating ball as the connection to the body. How do I make (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I own this set and it's excellent. I also have the UCS sets and I feel the RBR is every bit as good, possibly better. It is far more creative with SNOT that in the UCS sets and you'll get a *lot* of build time (it also took me about 5 hours to (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

i bought it, built it, loved it. there are 52 white quarter cylinder elements. after building it, i find it highly unlikely that the ship can be converted to minifig scale without altering the size and/or appearance of ship. some possibility lies in (...)

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 (...)
