(...) attractions are clear: a chrome exterior, definitely Amidala, Ric Olie, and R2-D2; possibly Obi-Wan, Panaka, and R4-D5 (gotta get more use out of that mold. . .). This would be an entirely doable set as a scaled-down version (like the Falcon). (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I agree with you on the second point, but I don't think we've seen the last of 2001 Star Wars sets. The Millenium Falcon wasn't announced at the beginning of the year last year, was it(I could be mistaken on this)? I wouldn't be at all (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I don't consider the chome exterior to be part of the list of "attractions". While I'd love a pile of chrome bricks, the hull of the Nubian ship is smooth and sleek, and I don't think they'd do it that way. We'd wind up with a chrome SPUD (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The Nubian sounds cool, but the problem with chrome pieces is that the “chrome” is painted on and isn’t very durable. And all chrome? Not very likely, but a nice dream… And it would have to be chrome on the inside as well(if large enough to (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
