All the SW sets are terrific. I've been a bit spoiled by all of them. I picked
up a couple of rock raiders sets the other day and wasn't terribly impressed
with them. I'm not sure what people mean when they say that sets have been
juniorized, but if it's anything like these sets I can see why it's not real
popular. They seem to have a few specialized pieces that make up the sets. It
reminds me more of when I used to put my G.I. Joe vehicles together more than
lego. There's just not a whole lot you can do with some of the pieces.
Anyway, back to SW. I really liked the quality of the models and the fact
that it was done with out too much specialization of parts. One thing I really
liked (that hasn't been mentioned before) is that the intruction booklets are
actual booklets. Each and every one, from the lighsaber duel all the way up to
the pod race, is an actual booklet. I hate all those little fold up pages. The
creases tend to rip over the years and they're too big. Anyway, maybe it's just
me, but I liked this part.

PS A question I've been meaning to ask for awhile: Between Episode 1 legos and
the classic SW (one version vs the other) which is everone's favorite?
