| | Storm Trooper and TIE pilot heads!
|
|
(I can't believe no one has posted this yet!) The ST has a *blank* yellow head. The TIE pilot has a *blank* BROWN head!!! (the tie also has several other good parts - without having looked at it too much, I'd say it's a very good set for parts - now (...)

(...) That movie got bad reviews... which means it's probably good... <G> Actually, they probably did it due to the "excitement" over Mars the last couple of years. First they found that rock with supposed Martian bacteria, then they sent up that (...) (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

This is just a thought, but maybe lego released the life on mars stuff early to correspond with that new movie Red Planet. i don't even know if it is out yet and I definetly haven't seen it, but I have seen the adds. maybe Lego thought that kids (...) (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) No, I think it comes down to the weapon sizes. Not many brigs were built, because a brig could not stand against anything larger (with more guns) than itself...therefore, the ships tended to be larger. I think the same ideas were used in Star (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build)

(...) Huh? The original Star Drek series in the 60's didn't want to seem derivative of a movie that came out in 1977? Weird. Maybe when fans of Roddenberry say he had a unique vision of the future, they mean it. eric (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The reason the original Star Trek series didn't have small craft was that they didn't want to seem derivative of Star Wars. 8^) Dave! (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I'm guessing the Defiant from DS9. It's a capital ship that might still be manageable at minifig scale. More so than the Big E or Voyager anyway. ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build)

What, the Enterprise?!? NCC-1701 would have to fill a decent sized room in order to be minifig scale. Egad! ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build)
