I thought they were doing well too. I hope that TRU management hasn't confused StarWars LEGO with other StarWars toys (which pretty much did flop), and decided not to carry them on those grounds. Maybe the guy you asked confused the two, and was (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Hey everyone, I was at my local TRU yesterday and was asking about the new starwars sets and when they would have them. He said "we won't have those sets" when I asked why he said that the starwars sets had "flopped like a pancake" (whatever) and (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Wow Dave that would be really great to have that beast recorded in DAT form. I'd love to build one but I can't even imagine what it might cost to build up a lego inventory big enough to build that giant. I guess I'll only be building one in my (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I just bought both the Tie Interceptor and X-Wing. I'm very impressed with both sets. The X-Wing is extremely awe-inspiring. It's so intricate and well designed that it was a true joy to build. My only complaint (as many others have mentioned) is (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Well, I'll be darned, but I actually went and started making a DAT file for the AT-AT...
