The Yoda set is basically 3 colors: Yoda's head is Sand Green Yoda's cloak is Tan (so, if you need tan, this is an excellent source!) Yoda's clothing(under the cloak) is what I call "rust"..that semi-brownish-reddish color. -Scott Lyttle (...) (22 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

The cause is precisely what you identified: The hinge piece's "tooth" is 90-degrees "off" from what you need to keep it shut in (...) (22 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

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 (...)

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 . (22 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 (...) (22 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.

Out of curiosity, I checked out how the price per piece fared over 1999-2002, since I kinda had that "gut feeling" that 1999 sets were a better value. But try as I might, nothing doing. A few oddities. After factoring out UCS sets, minifig packs, (...) (22 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)
