(...) I agree. A small, standard, off the shelf mold base will cost you, about 3000-5000$. That doesn't even include the cost of the hot runner (or cold runner depending on the resin and how the part is gated.) Then you have to machine it. The cost (...)

My comment was based on LEGO's propensity for taking the least expensive route to solve a given problem. The set is supposed to retail for $9.99. I would imagine that it's pushing that price point with the parts included. There already exists a mold (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I don't think LEGO ever said that, no. I think that people said that after seeing the AT-ST, TIE fighter, and Imperial Shuttle on the leaked list, which we all now know to have been correct. eric (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

So I look at the new sets and I see two Imperial craft, 3 if you count the AT-ST, which doesn't even come with an Imperial Officer or Pilot. The Junk Shop and Droid Transport can't count as it's the wrong movie. So that leads us with 2 ships, the (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
