I am considering buying this pricey set, but I wanted to see if everyone here thought it was worth it first. I have not seen one in person so it is hard to judge. Thanks, Chuck (23 years ago, 31-Dec-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Since the combination of lego and star wars is the coolest combination of hobbies in the entire history of all civilization. And since, the Runner is thee coolest starship in all of star wars. And, in a week or so, when it finally arrives at (...) (23 years ago, 31-Dec-01, to lugnet.starwars)
