Wow, what a response. I received 10 or so replies from very helpful people with offers to replenish my accidentally-trashed manuals. All in just a few hours. I figured I should post here to ask you to stop making your generous offers. I should be (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

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)
