I just got my copy of the May-June Lego Mania Magazine. It is completely dedicated to the new Episode I sets. It shows all of the sets and mini-figs in great detail. I wish I had this a few weeks ago so that I could have drooled over them before I (...) (26 years ago, 27-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

I think the new SW Ep1 sets are great! I'm not a SW fan, have never seen a SW movie (until I saw Ep1 this weekend, it was okay), but I love the sets. Also, I truly doubt it will soar above Titanic, it didn't even beat the opening weekend record set (...) (26 years ago, 27-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Hi, I must agree about Titanic, it is near-great if not great. We didn't see it until May, 6 months after release, and it was much better than I expected. There were characters you got to know, great effects, some humor, and only a couple of lame (...) (26 years ago, 28-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
