| I'm surprised nobody mentioned this yet...am I the only one who thinks the vehicle Anakin is using in the Tusken Raider Encounter is a Swoop Bike? They didn't do a bad job...I'm all over the way the rods angle down (to keep them from moving back up, (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Duh, THAT'S what's been bugging me about it - thought it looked familiar and your thread reveals why. Man, my collection of excess minifig heads in exchange for a 'Shadows of the Empire' minifig set - Dash, IG-88, Xixor, Wampa, and oh, what (...) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Hmmmm, I had thought more people noticed already too. That popped out at me when I saw them posted online awhile back. I wasn't to excited about it. Although I picked it up yesterday for the T. Raiders, and I'll have to admit it's better than (...) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| Yep, did I really write "Outrigger?" *Snort* That'd be a lot funnier if I hadn't written it. If you have the luxury and the bucks to buy an extra Falcon just to make an Outrider, I'm impressed. I'm still figuring out how to sell one of my kidneys to (...) (23 years ago, 15-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Heavens no! <stimpy voice off>. I have one Falcon, and never even got a Mos Espa Podrace. With it available only by mail order I will probably never buy another Falcon. Likewise I am similarly stumped with the Republic Gunship...but I guess I (...) (23 years ago, 15-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Thanks for the tip, though a local K-Mart has one for $40 too. I have nothing against the set, in fact I think it'd be pretty cool to buy the Podrace and Watto's Junkyard for a pod line-up, but I have to have priorities :) I'll probably pick (...)

| (...) The Mos Espa Podrace set is on clearance just about everywhere I turn. I picked it up originally at MEIJER for ~$40, but I eventually found a lower price at TRU for under $35. I even managed to find Mint boxes of this set, along with Watto's (...) (23 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)
