I was expecting something like this (knowing roughly, what a pod race is), but sharing your opinion about "coolness". Maybe because we are not so familiar with the newly introduced SW universe thingies. I feel that, for example, R2D2 is as familiar (...) (26 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

I could see myself buying the set. Look at the color choices, the piece count, and it supposedly has 10-11 minifigs. I'll be at TRU when they open at 12:01am May 3, and if they have ALL the Ep1 sets, I'll buy ALL of them. Possibly 2nds of some. It's (...) (26 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Is anyone else having trouble imagining where they put 894 pieces in this set? Based on this picture, I would have guessed 4?? pieces. -- Thomas Main main@appstate.edu (...) (26 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Selcuk brings up a very good point here. Now that these set pictures are leaking out we can still see them as original designs. It would be as if Lego were simply introducing a new space theme. This way, we can judge the sets, not on their (...) (26 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Maybe they're mostly 1x1 plates... But seriously, to me it seems like there'd be tons of little pieces, much more than a larger set usually has. I guess this seems reasonable to me if I take into account how the pods are basically constructed. (...) (26 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) For me, the crowd is part of the attraction. Assuming it is a ruly crowd, of course. I'd much rather watch a movie in a theater than in my living room. And I don't care (that much) about the sound quality. I just like the experience, the large (...) (26 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

I don't see large quantity of orange in this set. If you are looking at the bigger racer on the right, it is mainly yellow. Look at the upper left "wing", which is clearly yellow. The other "wings" are in shadow which make them look orange. Wish (...) (26 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

My thoughts on the Pod Race: Definately buying the set. Wal-Mart accidently put out Hasbro stuff today including Anakin's Pod (24.95) and my first thought was : Too bad it's not the Lego version! Where are all the colored flags? I see yellow, green (...) (26 years ago, 18-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
