I'm not sure why TLG is making some of these SW sets in pieces, held together
by connector pegs. Darth Vader's TIE and more recently the engines on the
Naboo Fighter (1). I have substituted a 2x2 plate for the 2x2 tile which
allows the engine to be solidly connected to the body and not flop around.
What's up with the droids? Both of the droids in my Mos Espa Podrace set keep
loosing their arms. The sockets are too big to fit anywhere close to snug.
Anyone else have this problem or should I call CA and complain?

except the Sith Infiltrator which I'll wait for a % off sale to purchase (and
#7131).

| (...) Well i think it is so you move sections between sets, right now My Sith Infiltrator has a set of very non-stock wings on there ((hint they black with blue accents...). Yesterday I had the cockpit from that Tie Fighter fitted for yet another (...) (25 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| Hi, (...) Well, if you don't like that, you're not gonna like the Sith Infiltrator--not one, but TWO levels of peg- connection on the wings alone. The "nose" is also peg-connected. The thing can come apart into five pieces (not counting the Speeder (...) (25 years ago, 8-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
