(...) I was recently informed that his name is "Crankey". Just thought I'd share. In my book, he's no minifig. He's a minifig head with a structure of pieces attached to it.

I am curious, as I don't have an extensive knowledge of LEGO. Sebulba is a "piece", and characters that are made of parts like Pit Droids or Gasgano are not minifigs. Could someone make sense of all of it? Tim (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)
