I must agree that the Imperial Shuttle is highly recognizable, I would go as
far as to say it is an icon of ROTJ. A light grey set in the $75-$100 range
would be super sweet...complete with folding wings (of course) and Han, Luke
and Leia in their Endor outfits. The ship would be the one stolen by the
Rebels. What do you think?
