Do they make these in light grey? I thought about it, actually, but the only

Heh, actually, the legs are already done this way :) [though I had to
strengthen the technic pegs with wadded paper (shame on me) because
otherwise it fell on its face :( ]

The arms aren't tho :( I was trying to get the technic peg obscured (I used
the 1x2 w/ technic peg for the legs), but I couldn't figure out how to work
the same thing for the arms and have the peg hidden. Maybe I'll try it out
and see how it looks :)

Yeah, I'm kinda hoping that's gonna be a future set release-- some sort of
Hoth playset w/ a tauntaun and maybe snow-han or snow-han... maybe a wampa.
I'd much more appreciate it than a kaadu :)
