Very cool adaptation of things from totally different time periods. BUT I GOTTA ASK, what happens to the propellers when the wings fold in, ouch!! KINDA MESSY! (18 years ago, 5-Mar-07, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

That, of course would alter the design, but probably be more historically accurate for this, the Allied Rebel Forces. ;) "Big (...) (18 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

(...) I'm not so worried about that -- if I buy in at $10, it (logically) doesn't matter to me how the other $490 is paid out -- I still have a 2% chance of winning. Plus, the issue is somewhat self-correcting. The "deep pockets" are more likely to (...) (18 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.starwars)

To All, Hey, I just saw a great idea on Eurobricks (URL) They are holding a raffle for the $500.00 Millenium Falcon 10179 set.
