(...) Totally instructive - how about figuring out a "most useful piece" ratio? What kills me the most is when I get a set with, say, 210 pieces and more than a third of them are overly specialized while another third are garbage pieces that have a (...)

(...) Ditto for me :(. I tried something not as innovative as the rubber bands, but that worked for me all the same. I removed the green pokey up hollow piece right behind the canopy. Under that, I put a 1x2 translucent yellow plate (gotta maintain (...) (24 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

My copy is the same way, Jim. Looks like the tooth is on the wrong side of the canopy, which will flop open pretty easily - especially if the mandibles are off. -Matt . (24 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I found that you can take one of the spare rubber bands and loop it over the 2 1x2 slope bricks on either side of the hinge and the cockpit will stay closed. (24 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I am having a moment of disappointment with my new Bounty Hunter Pursuit set that I'm wondering if others are experiencing. The issue: Zam Wesell's ship's canopy will not stay closed. I do not know if this is something intentional or accidental but (...) (24 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I'll have to agree, Gil. 7153 is a great improvement on the previous version. I was among those who were originally a bit puzzled by two Slave 1 sets, but I'm glad TLC gave it a facelift. I filled in the open gaps under the cockpit, and made the (...) (24 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

Get it. Build it. Love it. Hidden weapons, bunchanew parts, swivling cockpit, peekabo engine, midnight blue, light forest green (made to go with lite grey), and faring pieces to spare.
