(...) Tim over at FBTB just posted some new information on this set. He says that it is not a bucket and will come with two(!) new podracers, non-juniorized. So this supports the fact that when the prices were seen originally, that this was the most (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) No, the changes weren't announced. It's just one of many everyday cleanup or maintenance efforts in the set DB.

| | Subthemes for Star Wars renamed?
|

Hi, I just noticed (while checking my webpage that links to the pause pages) that the subthemes for the Star Wars sets were renamed to "Episode I" and "Classic". While I find the new names far better that "{Episode IV}" (especially for sorting (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.starwars)

(...) So we have the 7171 and a ligth version as the pod bucket. What migth come next is a UCS pod racer like Joel Kuster´s (URL) The logical next step would be a smaller/ligther version than the pod bucket: a Duplo pod racer. Anyone who has enough (...)

(...) What I don't understand is why "everybody" hates Jar Jar, and yet there are others who buy the minifig! I still have a few leftover from several copies of Gungan Swamp (for the brown bricks). Bryan (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Andrew, My take on Jar Jar is that he was a rather useless character, who might have injected some humor to the storyline, but otherwise, was a bad choice. Obviously, the minifig is another matter. I have sold virtuosly all my stock of Jar Jar (I (...) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Hi Andrew, I agree it doesn't make sense to transfer enmity for Jar Jar's personality over to his minifig incarnation (in-ABS-ation?), but we do it anyway. Personally, I have SO MUCH brain boiling hatred for Lucas's character, that it just (...) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The bucket does come with instructions for all the pod racers shown on the bucket (at least on the "front" side - I think there are some alternate models shown). In fact, you can make all of them at once. The set really isn't that bad. Sure, (...) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)
