Hey everyone, over at rebelscum.com they have some new pictures up. The A-
wing, B-wing set(looks pretty cool), Flash Speeder, Kaadus, Slave 1, and the
Tatooine Skiff. The Skiff set looks really small, maybe its just me. It
seems all the sets showen look small. Just wanted to let everyone know!!

| (...) Wow! Thanks! I was worried about how these sets would look after I saw the Slave I kit. But look at these! They're all pretty nice, IMHO. Certainly AFOLs have done better, but these aren't too shabby. eric (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Cool! Thanks for the heads-up. Hard to say from the pictures so far, but it sure looks like the 2000 sets are less appealing than this years. (for system, anyway - the technic sets look fantastic!) Yeah, I think they're all small. That A-wing (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) The A-Wing Fighter model looks a little weak, but looks like a good parts set. The B-Wing Fighter and Rebel Control Center looks way cool. Lotsa basic bricks, some hinge pieces. The Flash Speeder is a GREEN MILITARY VEHICLE. The irony is so (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Here is the link (URL) I think they are all a bit on the undersized side. Especially the A-Wing and the Skiff. I do like the Flash Speeder and the B-Wing control center looks like it might have some intriguing parts especially that thing that (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Hmm... I'm kinda dissapointed, overall. Let's look at each one individually. Pices in perenthesis are my estimates. 7134 A-Wing($19.99): Bad - Too Small, the use of blue and dark gray screws up a nice color scheme, canopy that tilts up, chunky (...)

| (...) Not bad, not bad. My biggest suprise was the Flash Speeder. That looks like a really cool set. The A-Wing? Could have been a little bigger, but I like it. The B-Wing? Much better than the first sneak peak. . . the command center is intriguing (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| Is it just me or does the Flash Speeder come with two 4x4 hinge plates and two 1x4 plates with horizontal hinges? I don't know the names sorry - really basic pieces though (4x5 when put together). It'll be great to have a ready supply of these in (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| sorry, my thoughts on this message went to the wrong thread(see (URL) ) I dug up a rendering of the skiff I did. It's not completed and the slope texture is missing but you all can have a look. I also changed to color from brown to dk-gray since it (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

|
| (...) Just took a look at the new sets... the Slave 1 is starting to grow on me now that I've had a second look. The other ships look fine too... it's about what I expected. but I just have one big qualm with the new sets... NO EMPIRE. Granted, we (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| You guys are being way to hard on these sets. Look at them... They use REAL bricks! even the tail fins are real sloped bricks. Compare them to TownJr or recent "space" sets! The retail sets are never going to have the detail and scale of the AFOL (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) What is up with the spelling of "fighter"... check out (URL) the text from the source or from the catalog? Is it possible Lego would let an easy to spot typo make it into the final version? (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Why didn't they post large scans?!?!? *Sigh*. Well, I am *very* happy with these sets. They are not the majorly-impressive SW models that we drool over on the web, but they are very well done production set for TLG. Lotsa bricks, some good (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
