Yeah, I've read about that.
But from my point of view... if it ain't in the movies it ain't worth
worrying about. ;)

But it's already been a set in the line. I think we're talking about the
same set, right? This one:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7130
My suggestion was that since the work was already done and that it might add
only 155 - 160 additional parts (1) to the size of the kit... then why not
include it to make the set more authentic to the movie?

Was Janson in the movie? It's been a while since I've seen it. I keep
meaning to buy the DVD.... oh, wait.... some guy in charge at Lucasfilm
won't release the movies on DVD yet. :)

I totally agree. The sequence of release looks like it was planned by Jar-Jar.
All the best,
Allan B.
(1) Snow speeder = approx 213 parts, including laser canon. Therefore one
speeder = approx 200+ parts. Two speeder bikes = 90 pieces. Therefore one
bike = approx 45 parts. Therefore removing one speeder bike from the set
and replacing it with one snow speeder results in a net increase of approx.
155 - 160 parts. Give or take. ;)
