Now I know you don't want to spring for a lot of money, but I highly, highly, recommend picking up a Snowspeeder. It's $20 (which is way over your price range) but it's an amazingly well-built model, with great swooshability. Second for me would be (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) True, true! That was my first SW set. And a very good one indeed. (...) Yep; the Qui-Gon torso is the "classic peasant" <grin>, and Darth Maul works great as a dark magic user, or just anything. (...) Ah, yes, I was wondering about that... (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) People have already said good things about the Landspeeder and Flash Speeder which I fully agree with. I would also recommend another look at the Lightsaber Duel set, though. Both minifigs torsos are good for Castle work, as they both wear (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The Flash Speeder is definitely a great, small set. Gives you a great feel for the "real" thing. And the pieces are great.

Besides the switched-color Palpatine hands...there's another oddity in this set my friend Pete noticed today... The Luke figure comes with a young Obiwan head (as found in 7161 Gungan Sub) instead of the traditional Luke head...compare the Luke (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Hmmm...they're all good, but I suggest either the Naboo Swamp or the Droid Fighter. Both have excellent parts, and great "playability" value to them. There's nothing more fun than swooshing a STAP around, or transforming the Droid Fighter from a (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Today I have an urge to go out and buy a small Star Wars set. If liscencing is the way Lego is going, it would be best to accept and appreciate it. Something along the lines of a 7110 Landspeeder, a 7128 Speeder Bikes, a 7121 Naboo Swamp or a 7115 (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)
