I just found a Technic Destroyer Droid at Toys R Us for $25.90. It was mostly assembled so must have been a display model, but I am still happy with it at that price. Hopefully it won't be missing too many pieces, it looks very close to complete. (...) (24 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I think it looks very good. I love the way you used the X-wing engine piece on it (very original). One tip: the rear 2x1 grey slope needs a little adjusting because it's not inline with the rest. For the rest it's a great model. Greetz, Jay (24 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
