(...) Yay! Too bad I'm currently in Germany. :( (...) I skimmed this part and read "Jabba's Massage". Eeeeewwwww! Would that be a massage performed *on* him or *by* him? Either way, probably better not to think about it.... Oops, too late.... :) (22 years ago, 12-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.general)

(...) Instead of Jar Jar's, how about 1,000 Timmys? Although the SD might be put together wrong, at least it would get finished faster! - Bob PS - this was a ROTFLMAO story that made my week! Great job! (22 years ago, 12-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I'm sure people who care have already heard the news at FBTB.net, but there are indeed a few shiny new 2003 items in scattered Wal-Marts across the Eastern seaboard. Near me in Newington, CT I picked up a 4479 TIE Bomber, 4475 Jabba's Message and (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| | ISD: 340 pieces in one step...gotta be a record
|

The step in the ISD that Adrian imortalized with the quote, "They need to build 16 of these? The designer must be a sadist." uses (unless I counted wrong) 170 pieces, and you have to do it twice. So that one step alone uses 340 pieces and has you (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)
