Thanks a lot, guys. Much appreciated. I agree with George and Bruce; we barely see any "location" MOCs at all and even less from ESB. I'll start work on some other parts of the duel pretty soon. Jason- I probably would've had this MOC out about a (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

This model is very nice, I can't justify it's price just due to the chrome. The Vintage Aircraft two for 10% off deal seems a better purchase at this time. I couldn't really justify the price of the Blockade Runner either, so I suppose this isn't (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I would pay double the old price for 3033's also. But it seems to me that the value associated with that purhcase is far greater than that of the 10026. If TLC released a tub of all chrome technic parts, that is a different story all together. :) (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I have to agree with you here Tim. Since the parts used in the stand are also used in lots of other sets, that certainly wouldn't justify doubling the price. Also, the rare chrome parts doesn't add that much value to the set unless you are (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

IMO, no. Most of the increase in parts goes to the display stand anyway, right? and can it really cost $20 more to manufacture probably less than (help me out here) 2 dozen chrome parts?

But I just realized there would be no modification in production process, cuz they' have been doing chrome for a while, just not on a grand scale. This is the stuff that would be neat to have answered by a Lego rep. -Matt . (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I am curious what the general opinion is about the significant price increase of this set. It seems to me that the increase is rather high compared to the part count of the set.
