I personally would like to see.... An AT-ST, if done right, this would be an awesome set! B-Wing, this could be a great set, the main wing would probably be, ball park, 2 feet long. TIE Bomber, nuff said! With the 2 pods and the wings, this would (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I think that depends on the kid. I got my first DUPLO set when I was 4. I built multicolored things then, sure. When I got the Alpha I Rocket Base in 1980 for my 6th birthday, I was really excited. I got a set of REAL LEGO! From then on, I was (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

For me, the real problem with the scale of the lego MF has been solved, and that was that it seemed like the cockpit was meant only for one passenger. That was what bothered me most. The other things that bother me are the inside being divided up (...) (24 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) My sentiments exactly. Why pay 1/6 the cost of the MF for 1 fig, when you can pay full price and get all 6 figs, and a ton of pieces. So what if the model sucks? More pieces for the collection is ALWAYS a good thing. -Chris (24 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)
