Last night I was at TRU with my wife (NLS) and we passed the Star Wars sets. She looked at the UCS X-Wing and said "OOoooooo" and she thought it was really cool. She then noticed the Millennium Falcon next to it. She said it looked "crappy" and "not (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Have to give credit where it is due, your wife has excellent taste:) I think that the Snowspeeder has to be my favorite (packaging looks great too) set to build out-of-the-box. My opinion as owner of a MF model is the same, it would require (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) What a loaded comparison. You could set the Mona Lisa next to a UCS X-wing and the painting would look like crap. They are two totally different types of sets. I am guessing the reason Lego came out with the UCS is so that Star Wars fanboys (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Actually, I think that the Snowspeeder is a lot *more* impressive than the UCS X-Wing. It was designed to fit into a very specific scale, it was designed to only contain a certain number of parts and fit into a specific spot in the Lego (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I just bought the Falcon (as well as the UCS TIE), and after building the Falcon I have to agree with Mark somewhat. It's disappointing, especially when I could have bought 2 X-Wings and a TIE vs Y-Wing set for the same price. I guess the (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) It *IS* awesome. I own the set and I love it. I'm a so-called Star Wars "fanboy" and I just love the set. My only problem with the set would be with the cockpit, but it's such a small complaint that it's not worth worrying about. I was amazed (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The Snowspeeder is probably the most accurate-looking of all the regular Star Wars sets. Except for being minifig scale, it almost *could* be a UCS set. Plus almost any other Star Wars set looks more accurate than the MF. Not that the MF is a (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Hey all, Well I know we always try to remember that Lego is a "kids" toy but heres my Falcon complaint, It's too big for Andrew (5 years old) to fly with one hand for dog fights and the landing legs keep falling off. Well than he has to turn it over (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
