Gang,

On RTL, someone has posted a rumor that a Millennium Falcon set will be
released in time for Christmas.  Has anyone seen this post or heard this
rumor.  Any ideas of where this might be coming from?  Maybe it's some type
of cruel joke!

The Millennium Falcon set would be so cool, even if the ship itself is
juniorized somewhat, at least we'd probably get Han Solo and Chewbacca
minifigs!  And, a Christmas-time release would make sense for what would
probably be a higher-priced set.

Regarding the Naboo Fighter, I'd like to echo what others have said, I love
this set.  I think the cockpit is very well done, something that wasn't the
case for some of the other Star Wars sets.  LEGO even replicated the tan
leather head rest using tan bricks.  The targeting computer slope brick is
cool too.  The only negatives -- the flimsy engines (easily fixed) and R2
sits a bit too high.
