Thats what I thought untill I got a few sets (on sale) - it is actually a
pretty neat set once you hold it in your hands.  The ONLY 2 reasons I bought
it was it was on sale, and I wanted more brown parts - cheap.  But after I
built the 2 sets I bought, I went out and got 3 more of them - I know, not a
"big" buy, but for something I was sure I was going to hate, it is a "big" buy.

(...) I agree that the set isn't all that bad (I have 2 of them after all.) MOF, I like the set. My comment was really directed at the "real" Droid Fighter. Yawn. Kind of boring and as disposable as a paper cup. james (26 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
