On Thu, 3 Jun 1999 17:22:37 GMT, Col uttered the following profundities...
I bought a 7101 (Lightsabre duel) at TRU in Southampton last Saturday, and
it was £4.99 like you say, as opposed to the £6.49 in Beatties in Winchester
and the £7 in The Entertainer. I bought a 7111 (Droid Starfighter) for £4.99
too, which I actually think it quite cool - do the little battle droids fly
these in the film? It doesn't have a droid with it.

Accidentally bought it at Tesco for 5.99. Whoops.
There is no droid that comes with it because it is a droid itself.
If you have seen the trailer, there is a scene where you see a few
battle droids and a few bigger ones, turning around as if to look
at something. The bigger ones are the droid fighters.
If it had been any other theme than Star Wars I would probably think 7101
was overpriced even at £4.99 - basically it's only two minifigs (Darth Maul
and Qui-Gon Jinn) and a small amount of other bits. But I really wanted that
Darth Maul minifig..

What really grates is that it only costs $4.99 over the pond.
A friend is visiting the states this weekend, so I am having
him get a few Naboo swamps for me, so I can get loads more
droid troops, and those transparent clear pieces.
