It clearly states it is a Rebel Blockade Runner, but not necessarily the Tantive IV (or whatever the number was). I have seen pictures of all Blue and all Red RBR's. But the diplomatic crafts have to have red on them somewhere. So maybe we could see (...) (23 years ago, 22-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Yeah, the Dinosaurs boxes say that they "transform" too. ;^) None of the Star Wars movies showed the Blockade Runner in any color other than white (with a stripe). Unless LEGO is beginning to do some "expanded universe" stuff, I wouldn't count (...) (23 years ago, 22-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Please tell me this thing is gonna be more grey then white. I was really disapointed with the white on the UCS x-wing and the Shuttle. IMO just about every ship in the SW universe should be more grey then white. And the original batch of white (...) (23 years ago, 22-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)

I expect a rather wild mix of white, tan, light and dark grey, with the new dark red only used for markings (stripes). Take the UCS X-wing for example. The designers at LEGO are said to be color-blind at times, but I hope they're not THAT (...) (23 years ago, 23-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)

BTW - also bear in mind that only in the 'expanded universe' (everything Star Wars OUTSIDE the movies) is the ship even identified at all. At no time IN the movie is the ship refered to as anything other than "The Princess' Ship". And now a bit of (...) (23 years ago, 23-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) There is at least a little bit of grey area when it comes to the use of names not actually in the movies. We are evidently getting a Lobot figure in Jan. I just watched the trilogy last night and noticed that the name Lobot is not even in the (...) (23 years ago, 23-Sep-01, to lugnet.starwars)
