You're about to find out what I meant when I mentioned something about Huttese a few weeks ago . . . (...) (22 years ago, 3-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars) !!

(...) The set number, 4480, seems odd. I wonder why it's not 71XX. Hmmm... obscure characters like EV-9D9, a Gonk, and a B'Omarr monk, but no palace guards, no Rancor, and still no Lando. Maybe we'll get them in another similar set. Jeff J (already (...) (22 years ago, 3-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)
