    There goes the neighborhood b/w Look who's coming to dinner. —Damien Nesbit
    I just recieved three copies of Tie Fighter (7146) in the mail from lego shop at home. To my great surprise, i found that all of my complaining (though definitely not mine alone) may have influenced a positive decision at TLC. Brown headpieces. (...)

   (...) You must have missed this discussion way back when the TIEs hit the shelves. Personally, I think that the TIE Pilot heads might well be TLC's way of testing the waters... if no one complains about the tone of brown, or something, they might (...)

     Well sorry to hear that,but he's coming, with a VERY big ship (it's going to get very expensive if you want a lot of them). Also, Yoda shows up as a minifig. I just hope that since the sets look decent, the movie won't suck. Matt (...) (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.starwars)

     You could at least tell us how Yoda and the Ewoks are made. Like standard minifigs? Specially molded heads on standard torsos & legs? A single molded piece like Sebulba? (...) (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.starwars)

     Um, Yoda might be one piece or two but definitely moves (Sebulba stank), The ewoks I didn't get a real good look at, but I believe though that Sebulba (and the rock monster) taught Lego that you need some articulation in the figures. I'm sure better (...) (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.starwars)

     There will be a mini-pack (6.99???) with Luke battling a storm trooper and a scout trooper.

      (...) Hmm. Possibly. That would make sense if not for the fact that the Speeder Bike set already has an Endor Luke and 2 scout troopers.

           Re: There goes the neighborhood b/w Look who's coming to dinner. —Matt Penney
       I was trying to reson out why Lego hasn't included imperial soldiers (esp in sets like the AT-ST). My old logic was, that Lego doesn't like too many new pieces in one series and the ninja helms wouldn't really work. Then I saw a nice AT-ST driver (...)
