| | | 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)

| | | | | | 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)

| | | | | 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)
