Hi... My first instinct when I see new sets is to call LS@H to see if they're available. They're listed in their system, but obviously not coming out until 1/1/2001 (although I'm sure Wal-Mart will have 'em all earlier than that). The call did give (...)

(...) Well I noticed him but he is really hard to make out. I assume you are talking about the driver of the Pod Racer. I personally don't recognize this racer off the top of my head so I have no idea who it is supposed to be. Eric Kingsley The New (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) No I am just suggesting a helmet. They did the head for R2-D2 in the Droid Developers kit... I am not suggesting a bunch of new parts, just one or two so the head looks right. As for would it still be LEGO? of course it would because LEGO (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

I'm surprised that no one here seems to have noticed/has anything to say about the second character in the Watto's Junkyard set. Am I the only one who noticed him? eric (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) It doesn't matter if anyone out here could or couldn't do better. If LEGO couldn't do any better, they should have scrapped the model at the planning stage.

(...) I agree that the hands in the cockpit are yellow, but I seriously doubt the fig is Palpatine. LEGO has *never* done that before (put "multiple" copies of a fig in a catalogue shot- unless they're generic figs that there are multiples of in a (...)

(...) I don't understand this. You said that you liked the minifig Stormtrooper, which is basically a new mold and some new printed parts (I suppose). And you would also like a the larger Technic Stormtrooper to have new molds to make it look more (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) Yeah, its been discussed already. It appears Lego tried to insert an overlay to change the hands to the correct color, but the overlay slipped down during the scanning process and wasn't caught. Jason F. (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Nah, I think it only comes with 3 and that is Palp in the cockpit(multitalented guy, eh). The red looks like flash flair. My picture looks like his hands are yellow in the cockpit. Just my opinion. Jason F. (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.year.2001)

Another alternative would be to have large stickers or printed parts to make (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)
