I was wondering if anyone else had these same problems. First, instead of the right angle piece numbered 6 used in the feet, I got similar pieces numbered 5. Also, the lever on the side of the droid does nothing. I'm pretty sure it should knock the (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

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)
