(...) It's too bad that contest isn't open to AFOLs... a trip to Denmark, a preview of the new sets, and a life-size Lego Star Wars model of their choice signed by George Lucas! What AFOL wouldn't kill for that? I wonder if you can get a life-size (...) (24 years ago, 20-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) They also made the "Rebel Transport" from ESB (The ones they use to escape from Hoth). It wasn't a playset, it was the complete ship. Basically, you could stand all your action figures in it. It was completely out of scale. Kev Z #142 (24 years ago, 19-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I seriously doubt they'll do a Star Destroyer, or the Mon Calimari Cruiser, or even a blockade runner, unless they do them as a UCS set. A proper mini-fig scale Star Destroyer would be quite large, and quite expensive. Basically it would require a (...) (24 years ago, 19-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)
