 | | Sith Infiltrator —James Brown
|
| | | I just watched the trailer again (and again and again and again...), and finally noticed something which filled me with a certain ominous forboading. The Sith Infiltrator, while not being as horribly out-to-lunch as the box picture indicates, is (...) (26 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | I've also noticed that before, when a guy posted a scan from newly printed EP1 cutouts book, featuring Infiltrator's inside look (1). Its size looks very close to Falcon, and this just gives some clues about "long awaited" Falcon set of future. I (...) (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | (...) I have that book, and I don't think it's really the same size as the Falcon (err, the Infiltrator, that is, not the book! :D). It does seem to be smaller. (...) That is true. Also, the whole back end of the ship doesn't fold down, etc. (...) (...) (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | | (...) Not even Micro Machines stuff holds to a particular scale, and you'd think that would be the line where they could exercise the most to-scale accuracy! Rob (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | | | (...) Although Micro Machines claims to be "the only scale minature", I have yet to see a Micro Machines car that is actually to scale. The are always much too high and much too short. --Bram (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | | | (...) Yeah! I wish there was one toy line that would scale everything the same. Japanese toy makers are much better about this sort of thing. Any Macross fans out there? Anyway, I think that an entire line of SW vehicles (exept for the Star (...) (26 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | | Ha-ha, can you think of a Micro-machine real scale Death Star? It should be around 200 ft in diameter or so, much less a Lego Minifig-scale one! Scott Sanburn (...) (26 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

A lot of accurate details would make for sets that contain a lot of special pieces that have limited use and increase price, vide infra. If a Millenium Falcon were done on (...)

| | | | | | | (...) I don't think TLG is paying LFL per piece -- I'd guess they are paying either a flat rate, or a percent of the profits. As for the ownership of whatever, I'd guess LFL owns the likenesses of the characters, devices, and vehicles. TLG probably (...) (26 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | (...) I just got the Cross Sections book and the Infiltrator does seem very out of scale. In the stats it says that it is 26.5m long and compared to the X-wings 12m long I think we see that the Infiltrator is at least 1/2 scale compared to the Lego (...)
