(...) Great Rant!!! :) I know what you mean! :) OTOH, white and gray actually are the same color. And on the screen, doesn't the MF *look* kinda gray (not white)? I mean, Stormtroopers, now they look white. The MF looks like a sheet of metal-punch (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Todd Lehman wrote in message ... (...) This touches on my biggest pet peeve with official SW LEGO that really only got worse in the 2000 sets: WHY ARE ALL OF THE SHIPS THAT SHOULD BE WHITE MADE IN GRAY?!?!?! Ahem. Sorry, I lost it there for a (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The X-wing and Millenium Falcon I thought were both a light grey or an off white. The falcon was a variety of patched up colors. The X-wing had some white in it so I can see your point there. When I heard lego was making an A- wing I was very (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Is the brown in the A-wing Fighers actually brown, or is it a kind of "rust" color? Maybe they were trying to approximate rust or brick-red with red...? Hmmmm. --Todd (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) A- (...) I have two different toys of the A-wing and both are either a very dark rust or a brown. It depends on how you look at it. I'm getting tempted to spray paint my A-wing just to see how the right one would look. If lego did use brown (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Just my $0.02, I always thought the A-Wing was a darker red with off-white. *shrugs* could just be me... I havn't seen my Action Fleet A-Wing in a while, but I *think* it's color is close to that of the LEGO version, except the red is darker (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I made a mini-fig scale Tie Bomber with parts from the Vader's Tie/Y set, the Sith infiltrator, Gungan sub, and anakin's pod. It's all gray, with some dark gray. I wanted to make it as much like how the Lego group would make an official one, so the (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)
