Hello all, I decided to check out www.rebelscum.com this morning, just to see if they had posted any more pics from the new catalog. Unfortunately, they haven't posted any new ones, but they do have three higher-res scans from sections of the (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

I agree, with you 100%, that B-Wing is cool looking. Another Naboo canopy and what looks like a new face, torso, and even maybe a helmet?? Looks promising. Oh, I can't wait for Boba Fett, he was my favorite character. Now we just need some STs, then (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Thanks for pointing this out. Much more info on the B-wing here. I like how the front and back portions of the cockpit rotate around the center part. And the windscreen is on a hing, so it will open nicely. Can someone with an Essential Guide tell (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) A-wing and B-wing pilots had different flightsuits than the X-wings, Y's and snowspeeders. Here's a link to a picture of the original B-wing action figure, which I imagine the LEGO version would look similar to. (URL) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Nice call! And thanks for the link. I was thinking that looked like a chin guard, but couldn't imagine another SW helmet being made by TLG. Must have been a Lucas thing (or another reason to buy TLG's B-wing). -John Van Christopher Tracey (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) TLG *might* be able to get away with a regular town/space helmet with a paint job. It doesn't look like that's what they did, but you never know. eric (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Well, upon closer examination, it appears that boba fett's backpack is actually attached to his helmet. Look closely and you'll see this, it's similar to the sword holders attached to the ninja cowls in the ninja theme. I hope i'm mistaken, but you (...) (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
