| | | | | You beat me to it! I have been waiting to get a B-Wing so I could compair it to mine: (URL) doubt I will rate the model quite as high as you because just from the picture I see some things I don't like but then again I am biased having built one (...)

| | | | | | (...) Your B-Wing is definitely superior to the Lego one. As I said, the set is a fair representation of the ship (minus the engine compartment), although the ship itself is a bit unsubstantial compared to the "real" thing. The Lego version just (...)

| | | | | | (...) Wow! Now thats saying something. Does that include the Snow Speeder and the X-Wing as well? I personal don't expect to be as impressed this time around as I was with those to sets. As far as the B-Wing goes I expect to like it for what it is (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.reviews)

|
| | | | | | | (...) I certainly am not. Both the A-Wing and B-Wing are awful models, IMO. They are tiny, flimsy and rather ugly, especially when compared to just about every MOC I've seen of them. Of course, I'm biased because of my MOCs, which are two of the (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.reviews)

|
| | | | | | | | (...) I'll be the first to admit that none of the Lego EP1 sets hold a candle to the MOCs that have been posted here. (In fact, probably the only Lego SW set that holds its own with some folk's MOCS is the X-Wing.) I'm just saying that, for (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.reviews)

| | | | | | (...) Actually, you have a very good point regarding the X-Wing & Snowspeeder. Here is how I'd rate the SW sets that I own: X-Wing: Best Model Interpretation. The X-Wing is the most accurate of all the ships, IMO Snowspeeder: Most Ingenious Use of (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars)

|
| | | | (...) [Snipped review, if you haven't read, go do so!] Very well-done review. I agree with everything you said. This is a great set. It's the first SW set to feature a 'building'. Well, at least sort of. The ship is sizeable, the parts are good, the (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.reviews)

With all the RD-D2s it is nice to have a set (other than the Y-wing) with a red one to add variation. 4 different astromechs can be made with 2 blues and (...)
