Preparing myself (and my girlfriend) for the release of Ep II, I picked up
the Gunship last week. The price almost made me weep, but wow does it look
good. It is huge, mean and looks extremely purposeful. And it's got heaps of
nifty parts! Dark red is beautiful, and the gun-mounts are so cool :-)
However, the front is a little flimsy, and the airy midsection/pods looks
unfinished. I will modify and beef this up after I've seen "the real thing"
in the movie. A great set, but too pricey!
