  MF inventory?
 
I am considering buying a Falcon, and I would like to know how many big plates are in it. I would appreciate it if some one could tell me how many 6xn and 4xn (larger than 4x6) there are. Any help is greatly appreciated. --D M Garcia "An expert (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Here's another real-life adventure in the realm of copyright names.

(...) that'll be news to some people here in Canada. Imperial Oil I'm sure will be interested to know that Lucas is trying to squeeze them out of a name!

  Re: about chewie in the atst
 
(...) I think you are looking at the emperor fig that comes with the Imperial Shuttle. His face is yellow. The TIE Fighter set comes with a black (full helmeted) TIE pilot and a white Stormtrooper. Look at the pic again. BEN GATRELLE (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I have always thought that the body on a Blacktron I figure would make a perfect TIE pilot, we just need the helmet. Tim (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Huh? Where are you seeing a yellow face? ~Mark (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) a (...) It doesn't look like Vader (the pilot appears to have a yellow face which wouldn't fit in with the grey one already used), but it also doesn't look like a TIE pilot (where's the full-face helmet?). I'd guess at it being an Imperial (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Interesting Copyright Bits
 
...Shades of "Murphy's Rules" from the old _Space Gamer_... Looking at the new catalogue (who's not?), it appears that Lucasfilm, Ltd., has trademarked the word "Imperial." This brings to mind the boardgame variant of "Indiana Jones" from days gone (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: New Stormtroopers
 
(...) You can already make a Bespin Luke. Take Luke's head and slap it on the body of the ground tech from the X-Wing set. The tech is wearing pilot's ground fatigues, and that's all Luke was wearing on Bespin. If and when Bespin sets come out, I (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: New Stormtroopers
 
(...) I think that there is something of an inverse relationship about this Luke fig. - he is the most marketable character to parents/young kids who aren't necessarily big fans. Luke has maybe a dozen different costumes - farm boy, pilot, Jedi in (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: New Stormtroopers
 
(...) But is it young Obi-Wan you're concerned about getting, or the brown hood? I don't care about young Obi-Wan. I *do* care about the brown hood. (...) Don't forget that this is also the only set in which you can get an "A New Hope" version of (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: about chewie in the atst
 
(...) If that's their marketing strategy, how do you explain the figs in the TIE Fighter set (Stormtrooper and TIE Pilot)? Assuming, of course, that the black blobby fig isn't Vader. eric (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: New Stormtroopers
 
(...) It *has* been the case with Star Wars. The only young Obi-Wan minifig is only in a $50 set. The only source (currently) for Princess Leia and C3P0 is the Millenium Falcon (a $100 set). If you discount the minifig collectors sets, then (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: SW parts used in Life on Mars sets?
 
(...) Like others have mentioned, that has been the rumor, but I've never heard/seen/read a confirmation or denial. On the boxes, there is a disclaimer: "All Star Wars elements are property of Lucasfilm Ltd. and/or Lucas Licensing Ltd." This has led (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

That's probably correct, but I'd bet that it's also a matter of character recognition - your average parent non-SW fan will be more likely to purchase a set with a "loveable" or popular (...)

  Re: What color do you think they will be was:(Re: New Stormtroopers)
 
Not bad, Greg. I 'd suggest using a dark gray aviator's cap if you have one. I think one comes with the Podrace set, so they're probably not all that common. ~Mark (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: SW parts used in Life on Mars sets?
 
(...) That rumour (about no space themes while Star Wars was being produced) was never confirmed through official LEGO sources- and given the presence of little, umm, blue men in the Mars line, I'd say it was greatly exaggerated. On another note, I (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: What color do you think they will be was:(Re: New Stormtroopers)
 
(...) I have found a decent way to do an AT-ST pilot: Hoth Trooper torso, beige arms, black or brown hands, brown hips, beige legs, and a brown aviator cap with black goggles. Greg "On the boar of car" Majewski (URL) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
