Some things I like:

1.  The top gun position rests on a hinged plate.  Perhaps this opens to
reveal a gunner's chair?  Let's hope so!

Hopefully all four guns are on the final set as well.  ;)

2.  I like the way they put a new paint job on the large dark gray piece
from the back of the Sith Infiltrator.  That would be a tough piece to
realize out of regular bricks.

IT actually looks really good--considering I have almost 20 of the SI pieces, I
can say that with machinery printing they're kind of useful!

3.  Four gray macaroni bricks!

These are becoming less and less novel to me.  Almost banal.  (No you can't have
any).

4.  Look at the front of the cockpit underneath and in front of the tan 1x8
plate.  It looks like a dark gray version of the wing plate that matches the
new six-stud wide cockpit.  Isn't that a new piece in dark gray?

No, inasmuch as there are two in the 7180 B-Wing--but they do seem to be new for
2000.

(...) This piece (URL)? Do you mean the piece is new for 2000 (it isn't), or it hasn't been available in dark gray before? Steve (25 years ago, 10-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)
