(...) Well, they were part of the original star wars set run, so they're discontinued. Combine that with the fact that it's a really cool set, and you get people paying way too much (in my opinion) for it. But then, I own something like 10 of them (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I've got some 7140's that are boxed in the standard way, but also another that I got which doesn't isn't glued - it uses small clear adhesive tabs on a shinier cardboard. And the box has the word "System" on it. The images are printed a little more (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

They are not rare, but they are sweet. I have a whole squadron unopened in my closet for the future. Likely it will be a classic candidate one day. -Erik (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

They all seem to be fetching US$60+ these days. Are they that rare? (22 years ago, 1-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) This is correct. In a recent interview with Lucas, he said this. That Ja-ja had a minor role becuase you already knew him from EP1 and you are suppose to feel both sorry but also understand that it WOULD take someone like JA-JA to be tricked (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I never had the problem with Jar-Jar that other people have had, but I wouldn't say I "liked" him. You're supposed to kind of think he's a boob after Episode I; it sets you up to feel sorry for him when he gets duped into giving Palpatine (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I was just talking with some of my students today (I'm a high school teacher) and we were finding ESB/AotC parallels.
