Hmmm?? Thats what Lego is for isn't it (well at least origionally)? To
stimulate creativity. If you don't like a model you can use it as a starting
point and make a much better version.
Now the two sets in question I do have opinions on however. First the Gungan
Sub is great for parts and decent as a model. Obviously the cockpit is
nowhere near prototypical seeing it should have 1 three man cockpit with
storage areas on either side. The "quick change" ability although good for
playability is not prototypical. Plus the Rock formation is a bonus (No BURP)!
The X-Wing on the otherhand I love it. For US$29.99 I think this is a great
model and one of the best TLG has released in years. Granted the landing gear
needs work and the Compartments are unnecessary but I don't think TLG could
have done better. I also disagree that there were to many special parts on
the X-Wing. The engines and canopy are great and can be used on any one of a
hundred models. The rest of the parts are mostly slopes and plates which are
very usable.
And what is with the statement that you could make one that costs $100??? I
think we all could but who is going to pay $100 for a Minifig Scale X-Wing. I
don't know if I would even pay $100 for a Model Team X-Wing. Plus if they
charged that much for an X-Wing what chances do you think we would have at a
Millenium Falcon?? I still think thats a pipe dream but on your pay scale it
would cost about $600.
I just wish TLG would carry over the quality in the SW Theme to there other
themes and would expand their freestyle line.
Thats just one man's opinion.
