 | | I realized I want Star Wars! —Bradley Dale
|
| | | Today I have an urge to go out and buy a small Star Wars set. If liscencing is the way Lego is going, it would be best to accept and appreciate it. Something along the lines of a 7110 Landspeeder, a 7128 Speeder Bikes, a 7121 Naboo Swamp or a 7115 (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

|
| | | | | Hmmm...they're all good, but I suggest either the Naboo Swamp or the Droid Fighter. Both have excellent parts, and great "playability" value to them. There's nothing more fun than swooshing a STAP around, or transforming the Droid Fighter from a (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

|
| | | | | | (...) The Flash Speeder is definitely a great, small set. Gives you a great feel for the "real" thing. And the pieces are great. I have two or three of those already (kinda lost track between all the sets I got from the Ames sale... thanks again for (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | | Re: I realized I want Star Wars! —George Haberberger
|
| | | | | | (...) Thanks, this is exactly what I meant, without the extra 1 stud rounds, the Landspeeder just sits there looking grounded. With two in the centerline, it appears to "float" a plate width high, and even wobbles a little. TLC rectified this with (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | (...) I think the LandSpeeder floats higher than that. What I use is a 2x2 brick - I've got some transparent ones from old Lego sets, but you could just pick a colour to match the shelf you sit it on. You have to put it on the centreline, exactly (...)

Yep; the Qui-Gon torso is the "classic peasant" <grin>, and Darth Maul works great as a dark magic user, or just anything. (...) Ah, yes, I was wondering about that... (...)

| | | | | | | (...) Lego sets are packed by weight- apparently the fabric cloaks don't weigh enough to be counted by the weight sensors, so they "make sure at least one" gets in. (...) D'oh! I've done this numerous times. I can't beleive I missed saying it. eric (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Did you ever wonder why Darth Maul only has one light saber blade in the Lightsaber Duel set, but has two (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | Now I know you don't want to spring for a lot of money, but I highly, highly, recommend picking up a Snowspeeder. It's $20 (which is way over your price range) but it's an amazingly well-built model, with great swooshability. Second for me would be (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | (...) We pay more in the UK too, but seriously the SnowSpeeder for me is the best set around. It's good value compared to other Lego, and has a lot of rebuild potential. Also, it's from the original trilogy - the Episode I stuff just isn't the same. (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)
