With all the rumors going around about the sets being out, I took a quick

Raiders... HEY!  There's the technic super battle droid and Jango *puts
Jango back, keeps droid*.  And so on...

   How is that Super Battle Droid?  I haven't seen any yet.

All the sets were there except for the Gunship (DANGIT!).  They weren't
marked on the shelves and didn't register on the floor price scanners.  The
cash registers scanned em fine.

   Note that the Gunship doesn't appear in the instruction booklet
   mini-catalogue at the end of the instructions either--it's probably
   a mid-year release.

The sets are solid.  The Slave 1 is one of the best Star Wars sets to date,
although I don't like the jack stone pieces and bionicle pieces used.  Sorry
I don't have a camera handy to snap some pics.  Best piece is probably the
printed tile in the vaporator on the Tusken set.  I'll be usin' that in my
sick bay or enviromental systems in a starship.

   It's not a good pic, but:

   And I agree, it's a magnificent tile.

(...) LFB -- The gunship is in the back of the Technic Jango Fett instruction book. It also seems to have shown up in sections of Georgia. I can't figure out why some sets are going out early and others aren't. -Jonathan (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.starwars)
