Yeah, artoo mee too.

If they do, it won't be like yours. Certainly no pneumatics. But you
apparently really dig the Falcon's design or you wouldn't have gone to the
trouble. I can see an official Lego MF canopy piece alone going for a small
chunk. And what about the Falcon's radar dish??? Maybe TLG's Falcon is grey
and so they've started making 8x8 dishes again starting with the train snow
blower.

Naboo swamp comes only with a clam. But Gungan Sub has a starfish. Although it
pains me to recommend this maybe you should consider buying 5387 Belville
Accessories. It has a starfish and that's only $3.50 @ S@H. Plus you get ice
cream pieces for a town, a crab, etc. (If you don't want the rest of those
pieces, I'll buy 'em off you :)
IIRC mynocks have wings and long tails too.

Cool. I've used 4 2x4x4 half cylinders to make a Corellian Corvette escape
pod. Most sitting minifigs fit snugly in them.
