Just wondering, I received my Mini TIE today, and for such a small scale it looks fairly good. But what's so great about it????? Why would anyone pay thirty bucks for this??? I'm not a large Star Wars fan (I mean, I don't drool over a poster of Episode {n}, or complain that the official X-wing set is one stud to short), but I still don't know why the world is going nuts over a 12 piece set. Okay, I better stop ranting, sorry about that.

Dunno, but I wouldn't mind building a few. Has anyone scanned the instructions yet? The pic I've seen of it doesn't quite give enough detail to build it. BTW, the Tie Bomber from the retail Mini SW sets rocks, and I can't wait for the next batch of (...) (22 years ago, 24-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

		Re: What's the big deal about the Mini TIE?
(...) The big deal is people are dumb. They think it's worth 30 bucks and I bet people might actually buy it too. I saw on ebay once, a pair of storm trooper bodies with a Han and Luke heads on em. They were "exclusive" Han and Luke in stormtrooper (...) (22 years ago, 24-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Umm, isn't this off-topic for off-topic.debate? o-t.d is for serious debates, not everything that comes along that might be controversial...
