Saw a post of yours the other week dealing with the new sets Mike. I picked up
7137 and 7144 at Target just down the road from work here in Vernon Hills, IL
monday(right down I94 from you). And I must say that the A-Wing is very nice
as well. I was impressed with how "bulky" it is once put together. Very nice as
I said.
As far as Slave I, well what else is there to say, it's Fett. I am also very
impressed with it. Although it is not to scale, like many of you out there
clammer for, it is still sweet. Plus I will be the first to admit that I
really didn't care for the "look" and size of it when I saw the first pics of
it on the net, and was a bit disappointed. Sometime justice isn't done to a
model til it is sitting in front of you.
