Exactly.. alot of the imperial model ties are in fact shades of blue. If it
wasn't the case lucasfilms probably would not have approved the current toys
production if the colors are wrong [ie. lets say they made the millenium
falcon green or something] =).

A bit off topic, but I'm surprised at the negative response to the ATAT
Mindstorm thats coming out. No it doesn't look exactly like the ATAT but thats
the constraints lego has to work under. They have to make sure that a> they
have an affordable pricepoint and b> that it actually walks.

Last I checked the closest thing I found to a working articulated 4 legged
walker I've seen is from the maker of the biped mindstorm in Japan and even
then he wasn't even to fully complete it since the robot could not handle the
weight of multiple RCX's needed to control it.
