The Landspeeder hsa two good figs, lots of useful tan and macaroni bits. On
the minus side, I like it too much to take apart, and you need to put a few
small rounds on the bottom to make it float.

I had no idea this toy was supposed to float.

Aye, it gives a good appearance of repulsorlifts.  Just be sure to place them

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 the Flash Speeder, providing a few of the 2x2 rounded
bottom pieces (also seen in 6441 and other boats) to amke the Flash Speeder
"float".
