It's been said many times, many ways, but here's another echo.. I bought a Slave I yesterday, only to discover once I reached home and opened it, that the smoky long canopy, Boba Fett, and the carbonitized Han Solo were missing from the set. The (...)

(...) Is this endemic across the board, or is the Slave I set specifically being targetted nationwide? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

I would say the problem is across the board, but the Slave 1 will be the prime target. Boba Fett almost symbolizes Star Wars fanaticism (sp), myself included in that group. Fortunatley for me, I love Lego just as much so all the extra bricks that (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

(...) Is Shop-at-Home shipping Slave I's? I personally would be willing to pay a slightly higher than retail price to be sure of getting a complete set. -Tim (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

I had to call customer service to replace the Boba-Fett backpack/helmet piece for the same reason... Wal-Mart wouldn't take it back because I had opened everything and they didn't want to count for other missing pieces... Also, I have non-LEGO (...)

There were lego booklets everywhere, opened boxes everywhere most of them smaller (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

(...) Here in Morgantown, West Virginia I don't see a problem with tampering with Legos. I guess the demand is lower here. The local Walmart usually has the shelves stocked with all the new sets and I have seen no evidence of tampering with any of (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

Haha, good to know that the European sets are coming with the new "hard cardboard" boxes. the Slave 1 is not closed with a seal, you'll have to push a flap first and the entire box has a strong structure. TLG, introduce this method in the US too, at (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
