I recently located several of the new SW sets here in Colorado Springs, at the new "super Target" on Powers. The following sets were available: 4475 Jabba's Message 4476 Jabba's Prize 4477 T-16 Skyhopper 4484 X-Wing and TIE Advance (MINI) 4485 (...)

(...) Agreed wholeheartedly, as I opened the box and removed the instructions I found that just travelling to my house had caused a severe rip in the spine. There was a rip on the front cover in the bottom left hand corner. However, after assembly, (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.loc.au)

One other point I forgot to mention in my original review ... The massive instruction book (228 A3 pages) is too heavy for its style of binding and the covers quickly detached from the rest of the book as I started to turn through the pages. And (...)

(...) Interesting observations, I must agree. I was able to pick up 3562 and 3563 at WalMart today. They had all of them except 3565 (with Paul Pierce) They were in a box at the base of the display, I'm not sure whether they were supposed to be (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Most steps show one dome flush against the edge of the plate it sits on, and the other dome 1 stud away from the edge. Can someone (...) (22 years ago, 29-Dec-02, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.starwars)

Hey Kerry, While I'll agree that the model is not easily handled and cannot be swooshed around, I wasn't disappointed by this at all. In fact, I expected it. Given it's scale, the model would have to be glued together to be sturdy enough (horrors!). (...) (22 years ago, 29-Dec-02, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.loc.au)

For the most part, I didn't have much trouble, but when I began putting any (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-02, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.loc.au)
