In case anyone interested in such things hasn't been to FBTB recently: Tim announced both on the front page. Haven't seen any pictures yet unless they're buried in a discussion thread there that I missed. UCS Snowspeeder due out in November. (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars) !

Hey, Just to add to this, DoubleT, a member of the FBTB forums, has posted pictures of the back of the Cloud City box that show the upcoming redesigned Millenium Falcon: (URL) notice that it has a January 8 release date. Bruce (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)

This trend was discussed here about a year ago. At the time, most Star Wars Lego fans agreed that to continue the line, Lego would be forced to release revamps near the end of the license. There was much optimistic speculation, foremost of which (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)

Some of us took 20 years to stop complaining about the castle sets that used pre-fab wall pieces. Obviously all the castle sets since Yellow Castle were junk, they weren't even the real color, and purists wouldn't touch them. (21 years ago, 13-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)
