Go here, and quickly. (URL) on Wal-mart merchandising section you will see lego as an option. Although the pic is kind of blurry and distant, you can clearly make out all of the new big sets and a few small ones too. Looks like Wall-mart will be (...) (26 years ago, 12-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Went there straight away. Whoopy! Looks like we're in for a treat! Lots of new sets. Even a very BIG one on the bottom. Perhaps a base of some sort. I bookmarked the site and made it my start-up page! Here in the Netherlands, we will have to (...) (26 years ago, 12-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

After installing and using Matrox Desktop Navigator, I could home in on the picture without it getting all blurry. Here's what it looks like to me: - the naboo fighterbox is the same size (and prize?) as the snowspeeder - lots of small sets - a ship (...) (26 years ago, 12-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I believe this is the Sith Infiltrator - you see one briefly in the trailer. (...) That's probably the Mos Espa raceway (or whatever they called it), with a bunch of pod racers. (...) I hear ya.... James (URL) (26 years ago, 12-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I think so too. It resembles the cross-section picture on the web. BTW, according to the cross-section page, the Sith Infiltrator is supposed to have a cloaking device - perhaps this accounts for the title "The Phantom Menace"? --- Terry K -- (26 years ago, 13-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Ummm, the title is final, and it's referring to Darth Sidius, the known, yet unseen force of evil. As for the lame-osity of the title, SW4's title was "A New Hope". And see how well it did? \(^_^)/ (26 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, I don't think "Menace" is all that bad of a title. It grew on me. And as for "A New Hope", that was added _years_ after the initial release. Star Wars was a mega-box office smash just as Star Wars. But yeah, it does sound a little lame. (...) (26 years ago, 15-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) All you have to do is look at all the old advertising material. It all says "Star Wars" period. Good question as to when. I saw it originally, and I remember seeing it again at a theatre for a special engagement. I don't recall if it was an (...) (26 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

I could remember very well that the original episode 4 was released with a bare and naked name of "Star Wars". Actually, I first saw the name "A New Hope" when during my first sessions through the net. When the revised trilogy came in, it was on the (...) (26 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
