    Disappointment with Snowtroopers —Evan Butzlaff
   I don't know, I think it's just disappointing at how they made the snowtroopers. Does anyone else have comments? It looks fine, until you see the helmet. I think they could have done a little better, with the imperial guard helmet being done nicely, (...) (22 years ago, 22-Feb-03, to lugnet.starwars)

   (...) Those are just pre-production pieces. The actual helmets may look different; after all, if you recall in the Nuremburg pictures they had no helmets *at all*. So I'd say hold your final assessment until we've seen some that are guaranteed to be (...) (22 years ago, 22-Feb-03, to lugnet.starwars)

         Re: Disappointment with Snowtroopers —Lindsay Frederick Braun
