Well, I have to say, it's a cute little thing.  I think it's a worthy
addition to the fleet, and looks better than the model I did (on a side
note, go look at my Z-95 at
http://www.pcisys.net/~jmbrown/LEGOOutpost.html ).  For the people
saying it's too small, the A-Wing is 9.6 meters long.  The model is 21
studs long, making a conversion factor of 2.2, THE SAME as the X-Wing.
In fact, it's longer than it should be (by 4 studs using the 1.8
factor).  Guns look like they rotate, even if they are a little too big,
and I don't know how much they'll want to say forward facing...  The
cockpit looks like it's hinged on the front.  Those stilly black tube
thing landing gear, which I personally don't mind, as I've made a lot of
fighters in this scale that used removable instead of retractable gear.
The B-Wing is snazzy too, and one can always use more astromech droids.

I've been staring at the pictures of the new Star Wars sets for over an hour
and I keep shaking my head.  They don't look all that bad but the A-wing.  I
like the shape of it but I was hoping for some new tan and brown pieces from
lego.  Oh well, I'll jsut have to figure out how to spray paing some legos
now.  I am fairly impressed on slave 1.  I was first told lego was not going
to put that model out into production.  I keep looking at and I like how they
designed the cockpit.  It was very creative plus more green bricks!!!  The b-
wing....  I want three of those!  I really like that model and it'll go great
with ROTJ scene over the Death Star.  I am excited about the new sets for this
year.  But I just to know who designed the skiff, it sucks!  I like brown
pieces so I know I will pick up a few of those sets but it looks terrible.  Oh
well, can't win them all.

Hmmm... I still like the A-Wing. I really like Slave I, despite what other people have been saying! And I must admit, the skiff is pretty bad. (...) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=...=-=-=-=-=- jmbrown@mines.edu (URL) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
