(...) A lot of Walmart (and K-mart too) staff members are lazy and careless.

(...) Actually, this review has been there for quite some time; a couple of days. Furthermore, many think Lucas leaked this trailer to get EPII some hype. So chances of a lawsuit are slim, I think.

And despite its flaws, LOTR showed the world how this kind of material should be handled. (...) (23 years ago, 24-Mar-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Is this really a Lego issue? I thought the deadline was actually a Lucasfilm directive and presumably Wal Mart could face contractual penalties because of all of the Episode II stuff that got put out early. (I have heard that some Hasbro (...) (23 years ago, 24-Mar-02, to lugnet.starwars)
