And very well done, if I say so myself!  Also, check out the interior of the
Falcon, and it looks like the MTT comes with a half dozen battledroids!

(...) Cool! They really got a lot of great detail shots! The MTT is Awesome! 10 Dark gray 2x2x3 slopes, 4 2x2x3 corner slopes, Tons of brown, Wow! I'm gonna load down on these, especially if they ever go on sale! The TIE and X-Wing have lots of cool (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) It looks like there IS a boarding ramp, right next to where R2 is standing in the interior shot. If there's a smuggling compartment, it's not readily apparent. Over all, the interior could use some work. (Though I noticed the dish is on the (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I still say Chewie need to be taller. Maybe I'll add a block between his legs and torso once I get him. Mike Z. Kevin Knoot wrote: Check it out at rebelscum.com here: (URL) very well done, if I say so myself! Also, check out the interior of the (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) the "ghost-sheet"-type solution. I think he looks great! Threepio is interesting. I didn't expect the molded head. Cool! But... I wish he was vac-gold. Lego makes Vac-gold parts, why not Threepio? Then again, he's definitely not yellow... and (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)
  Re: CHEWIE & C-3PO REVEALED!!!
 
Are the X-Wing and TIE Interceptor by any chance Model Team models? They seem to have the size, detail, and lack of minifigure seating of Model Team models. Also, LEGO already made an X-Wing for the "System" class. (Smaller, less detailed, and (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)
  Re: CHEWIE & C-3PO REVEALED!!!
 
Looking at the first picture of the TIE fighter -- it looks like there are grey "laser rifles" attached to the front of the wings. Are they laser rifles or are they a harpoon gun from a previous set? F (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Wow, that Falcon set has to be one of the most uninspired renditions yet. Everything is so... plain and sparse. The interior is definitely in need of some "mechanical" tiles, as well as a few details... how about a couple of hoses, maybe some (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Are those brown cockpit windshields (like the naboo fighter) on the side of the MTT? lots of thoughts for uses of these... EC (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I guess I will go out on a limb and be one of the people who is impressed. But it doesn't take much to do this for me... :) EC (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

  Re: CHEWIE & C-3PO REVEALED!!!
 
I love Chewie. Even if he's not quite as good as my hairy one :). I'm suprised they made a new head for C-3PO, which is excellent, but he's not exactly gold is he? Princess Leia is predictably good, with a new head and a great new hairpiece. The (...) (25 years ago, 15-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I'm in love with the UCS X-Wing. The cockpit rocks! I have a feeling that this will be my all-time favorite set. I've waited for this set for about 22 years, and by the looks of it, it was well worth it! (25 years ago, 15-Feb-00, to lugnet.starwars)
