... so I picked up the EpII Incredible Corss Sections book this afternoon (only $9.99 after using the $10.00 gift certificate that one earns with a B&N MC ... yay!). Two points: (1) AT-TE, here I come :P (2) ... and I quote: "Stance mimics the (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) To be honest, the RBR is about 2 to 3 times smaller that minifig scale, it should be much bigger. I would consider this a big microfig or something inbetween micro and system. Jeremy Scott xpost to .starwars (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.starwars)

I'm surprised nobody mentioned this yet...am I the only one who thinks the vehicle Anakin is using in the Tusken Raider Encounter is a Swoop Bike?

(...) Yeah, I've had a couple printing problems with Ep2 sets. In the Duel the lines are visible off on the two curve-wedges--but since I'll probably Brasso them anyhow, that's OK.
