(...) I should add that it definitely wasn't from an actual set, and that you're right about what parts they used to create him (and that he was made only for that diorama). However, it IS the first "official" sight we've had of Mace or Lando, and I (...) (22 years ago, 24-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I'm pretty sure that version of Mace was made only for that specific diorama, and wasn't an official LEGO product. It looks like he was cobbled together from an Anakin skywalker head and a standard jedi torso. I could be wrong, but I'm still (...) (22 years ago, 24-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I admit, It would be GREAT as an official set, what with the clone troopers and all those dark red pieces. But I do have a negative comment about the design; It looks REALLY blocky, especially up front in the "nose" section. Plus, it looks about (...) (22 years ago, 24-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Not sure if anyone has mentioned (or seen) this yet, but in the Nov/Dec LEGO Magazine, there is a huge Episode II diorama built by two LEGO Model Builders. It's of the Geonosian arena, and Mace is confronting Count Dooku and Jango on the balcony (...) (22 years ago, 24-Nov-02, to lugnet.starwars)

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)
