(...) 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)

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)

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)

I think he's annoying on the movie, but I'm talking about the minifig. The tan arms and body are great for other guys (not to mention rare tan hands), and so are the dark grey pants.

I have to agree about the price.

Any guesses, ideas, or de-classified knowledge about the 2001 Watto's Shop <set:7186>? Is it going to be a set or a bucket like the pod racing bucket, and like the Mickey Mouse bucket?
