I can't believe no one has posted on this yet. . . It's right there: (URL) more views, start the flash player[1], look at the box pic.) The 2009 sets[2] see the return of the old LEGO Star Wars logo[3] on the box! I'm going to have to get that set. (16 years ago, 25-Dec-08, to lugnet.starwars)

Theed Palace, Naboo (URL) This MOC was inspired by the amazing work of Matt DeLanoy that was showcased at BrickWorld in Chicago this past summer. Other photos can be seen at (URL) I had hoped to post better shots: outside in bright sunlight against (...)

Hello dear lego friends, After having posted the (URL) One> almost three years ago, I thought it was time for some more ships of the bounty hunters. They all appear as character in the original trilogy movies, so why not have all their ships. ;) (...)

Odd - when I look at the minifigs section of the BL (URL) set inventory> for the Republic Cruiser, it shows that all of the minifigs are currently for sale: Obi-Wan Kenobi (young with hood and cape, light flesh, tan legs) $8-$20 Qui-Gon Jinn (...)

Hey all, Finally ordered the Republic Cruiser from S@H because they never showed up in any stores near me and I really wanted the dark red parts bonanza it contained. However, it seems that no one is selling any of the mini-figs on Bricklink. I'd (...) (16 years ago, 29-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars)

Hello John, your cantina band is really amazing! The head shape is a fully accurate, and what I find most original are the instruments. They're so detailed that I thought you could almost really play them! Excellent! Cheers, Chris (URL) (16 years ago, 28-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

LEGOLAND California recently held their third Star Wars weekend. Local AFOLs were invited to bring Star Wars MOCs to display at the event. I dusted off some models from previous years, but also built a new model for this years event: Mos Eisley (...) (16 years ago, 28-Sep-08, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.starwars, FTX) !!

(...) One thing that should be noted here is that any set that is rare enough that people could, in theory, monopolize the available stock, generally tends to be released as a S@H exclusive with a limit of five copies per customer. Even store (...) (16 years ago, 9-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

I was really lucky in that I lived 10 minutes from (...) (16 years ago, 10-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

(...) They can, however, deplete an area, making it difficult for regular customers, especially in rural areas. It's incredibly disappointing to find out that a set has been released, then drive two hours to the "local" Toys R Us, only to find that (...) (16 years ago, 9-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

I really do not think that someone can corner the market on any Lego set as they make so many of (...) (16 years ago, 9-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

Hey John, I get what you're saying. Personally, I just don't see the point in buying a toy that you're never going to play with. I bought comics solely on spec in the late 80's for awhile, but I soon felt like I was wasting my money because I wasn't (...) (16 years ago, 8-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

Wow, That's quite a rant. As a MOC'er, and not a collector, I will say that I agree with you that it is terribly frustrating to find that some pieces are so incredibly expensive or rare, whether due to Star Wars associations or rarity of piece. It (...) (16 years ago, 8-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

Buying Legos and putting them away for the future does not preclude buying stocks and investing in your 401K. It is not an either (...) (16 years ago, 8-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

Hey Steve, You are correct in that my main frustration is not knowing at the time that the parts would be useful and then finding out later that they cost far more than what I would deem they're worth because of something that really has no bearing (...)

I have to agree with Adrian on this one. If you'd wanted those parts, you could have bought up on the set, and then sold off the parts you didn't want. I think the parts are expensive because they only appeared once, there were only 3 of them in a (...) (16 years ago, 8-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

That's quite a rant. I am, however of a different opinion than you. I'm perfectly happy to prey on crazy Star Wars fanboys who pay a premium for the figs if it means I can buy a Star Wars set, use all the elements in it, and sell the figs on (...) (16 years ago, 7-Sep-08, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)
