| | | | Perhaps I should rephrase: poorly implemented "expanded universe" series. They may not have designed the items the line is based off of, but they did design the toys. Poorly. -Bryan (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | (...) Ah. I have to admit, I never picked any of them up (although I wanted to, because I liked the idea of toys based on design sketches). I was a little taken aback by the amount of things that popped up, popped out, or were "hidden" on them. If (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)
