Remember, the American $20 sets are the Canadian $30 sets. The Snowspeeder
does look like a good model though. I was a little disapointed with my
Warp Wing-Fighter's complete lack of swooshability, having the cluttered
landing gear and those flimy lasers. A good swooshable space ship is exactly
what I need. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to spend any money right now. I
am going on vaccation at the end of July, and I need to save if I want to have
spending money when I am there. I guess Christmas is only what, 5 and a half
months away now?

| (...) 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)
