| Okay, the Naboo Stafighter comes with the starfighter, Annakin, R2D2, two droids and that cart thing. The question is: What is that cart thing? I mean, is it supposed to be something from the movie or what? Ian Rutherford (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) I've mostly stayed out of this discussion, but I've got some questions to ask. I'm not generally opposed to the idea of dark "skinned" minifigs (DSM), but I'm going to play devils advocate here for a minute. Lets say that TLG does in fact go (...)

In fact, the first thing I'll do with my second Mace Windu is make a John Shaft- he's one baaaaaaaad MF (minifig). :D Seriously, though, I feel that the "all minifigs are one color" line was fine, up until the point at which (...)

| O.k., O.k., I agree, poor chice of politicians to name on my part. But why is it so hard to convince the lugnet community of the politicization of toys? If lego toys are as some say, no more than toys, somebody needs to clarify for me why they (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| Well, here we go again. I've never complained about scale. I understand that the proportions of the minifig make this kind of a moot point. The XWing, Snowspeeder, TIE, Y-wing, Speeder Bikes, etc. were all good sets. I think Lego did an excellent (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

Telling me I owe someone an apology for calling his bluff is stupid. Whether (...) (24 years ago, 6-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

Too true, and I fully agree, but the difference here is that they are fulfilling a license of existing models, and if they choose to call a set an Star Wars A-wing fighter, it should at least be the right shape & colors. Don't get me wrong... (...) (24 years ago, 6-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)
