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 rear stabilizers, landing gear.
Good - Good pieces, a mechanic in a cheap set, green jumpsuit on pilot,
possible chrome helmet, red cylinder blocks, turreted cannons, black 4L bars.
Overall: Decent, but dissappointed
7180 B-Wing ($49.99):
Bad - Wing-tip gun emplacements are pretty ugly, main wing too thin, the engine
block is a storage compartment(!?), too much blue and white in control center,
B-Wing is kinda ugly.
Good - Non-R2D2 Droid, white chair, gray 1x3 arches, lots of tiles and plates,
orange 2x2 cylinder tiles, New pilot, sliding doors
Overall: Decent, but dissappointed
7124 Flash Speeder ($14.99):
Bad - Not enough green? ;)
Good - Lots of Green!!, Brown chairs, 3x6 Windscreen, Minifig looks pretty
good, lots of round-topped bricks.
Overall: Very Good, Impressed, and I plan on getting a lot of these.
7115 The Gungan Patrol ($9.99):
Bad - I have no idea what that thing the Kaadu is pulling is. Seems somewhat
pointless.
Good - The Kaadus will make good Dinosaurs, Chocobos, or just a wierd
beast-of-burden in a Castle setting. New shield, 2 Beige 8x8 radar dishes,
two new Gungan torsos.
Overall: Good, Somewhat Impressed, and I plan on getting a lot of these.
7104 Desert Skiff ($5.99):
Bad - A tad on the small side, another Luke, no Boba Fett, no other minifigs.
Good - Brown Pieces, Han Solo.
Overall: Good, Somewhat Impressed, and I plan on getting a lot of these.
7144 Boba Fett's Slave 1 ($29.99):
Bad - Too Small, Han in Carbonite brick sucks, appears that Boba Fett has no
control panel for his ship.
Good - Good Pieces, Green and brown slopes, Boba Fett Minifig looks really
cool, New Trans-Dark Gray Canopies, wings seem adjustable, good looking design.
Overall: Very Good, Impressed, and I plan on getting a bunch of these.
Well, there ya go, my opinions. Feel free to disagree, but be prepared to face
the wrath of the Virtual Wiffle Bat(TM)! :)

| (...) Oops, forgot to mention why I was disappointed overall. It is because of the three big sets I was looking forward to, two are very poor renditions. The only one I really like as a set is the Slave 1. The little sets just don't make up for it. (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| 7134 A-Wing Actually the size is correct - counting studs and compareing it to the 9.6 meters of the 'full' size A-Wing that's one of the only new sets they managed to get right :) Dark grey and blue bricks I don't get that either - I would REALLY (...)
