Hi, I was just wandering through Kmart and I saw the 7191 Xwing has been cut to $109 (from $250) and the 7181 to $99 (from $150). Plus Kmart is giving an extra $10 off for every $100 spent so you can pik these babies up pretty cheap. I just bought (...) (22 years ago, 24-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)

The reason for the peg connectors along the back on the underneath is to attach the four angled plates surrounding the engines, the main plates aren't connected to the back beam at (...)

Who says they are engine vents? I wouldn't trust Lucasfilm. Check out my site Geocities.com/SWFalcon30 for more of my opinions on this issue. You'll see that I have contructed an alternative interior network for my Millennium Falcon which really (...) (22 years ago, 23-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)
