(...) Um, sure. I agree the landing gear is flimsy. The green in the back of the set is ugly. The front nose seems too flat. The printing on the large curved slopes and the 2x4 45 slopes makes them pretty much useless (unless your motivated enough (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Picked it up at Wal-Mart in Kenosha, WI. They literally had almost 2 dozen sets on the shelf. Overall I think it's a great set. Only real complaint is the non "airtightness" of the cockpit and the non-hinging canopy that's been commented on already. (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Jon, I absolutely love the new fighters. The J-Wing has that Episode II-ish look which you probably picked up from the many spoilers (Republic gunboat?) and the clean colors sure make it look like something from the last days of the Old Republic. (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-02, to lugnet.starwars)
