Well, I've been waiting close to 20 years for this puppy, and I am not in the
LEAST bit disappointed, even with the fairly crummy photo we've seen. I've
been using an old Kenner Falcon, retro-fitted with plates on the interior
floor and ramp, and lego seats in the cockpit (which holds 4 minifigs, btw) I
know this is sure to get groans from all of you talented custom-builders out
there, but the Kenner toy is the right size for lego, and has given me
countless hours of satisfied playtime over the years. As much as I love the
ol' gal, I can't wait to retire her next July for this baby!
