| | | I swung by the LIC in Orlando on one of my road trips this season. Those who've been there know that you'll find the ratio of employees who love the product to those who just took the job is about 1:10. I knew I was talking to that one when he was (...)

| | | | If they can come out with three 'Lukes' in the first five sets, I'd sure hope they do a full lineup of minifigs. Including Jawas, sand people, hammerhead, normal storm troopers and all the rest. I'm expecting this lego line to have the most minifigs (...) (26 years ago, 30-Dec-98, to lugnet.starwars)

I'm personally wondering if a Chewbacca minifig would use something similar to the 'ghost piece' for his fur - I kinda hope not. Yoda might not be done (...)
