The Undeniable:

Set: 7104 - Desert Skiff
Theme: Star Wars (Classic)
Pieces: 53
Figs: 2
MSRP: $5.99
Part to $ ratio: 1:$.0885


The Good:
Han Solo Fig!
Lots of Brown including 2 1x6x2 guard rails.
2 Black Female Click Hinge 1x2 Bricks
2 Tan Male Click Hinge 1x2 Plates
2 DkGray Macaroni Bricks


The Bad:
The "Plank" does not retract.
No Raisin faced pilot.  (Who is driving this thing?)
No Stormtroopers (Standard "Bad" until I see one)

The Huh?:
Luke has a new Head
1 1x2 Blue Plate Buried in the Model.


Model Rating:  7.5
Part Selection:  8


The Explination:

This set continues the high quality that is to be expected in the Star Wars
sets.  The set is small but high quality.  There is a lot of brown and dkgray
in the set which is a bonus.  For someone like me that loves the new click
hinges this is a good set for variety.

Getting the Solo Fig was great as well although it would have been nice to get
a Raisin faced guard to pilot the skiff.

On the general side the Figs make great generic Castle figs and at least Han
would work great in Town as well plus you get 2 hair pieces.


If you are a Star Wars Fan like me this set is a must and even if you are not a
Star Wars Fan I would still highly recommend this set for the part selection
and the Figs.

(...) Part to $ ratio 53/53 : 5.99/53 1:11.3 or 11.3¢ per brick not 53/53:53/599 (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars)
