Well, here we go again.
I've never complained about scale. I understand that the proportions of the
minifig make this kind of a moot point.
The XWing, Snowspeeder, TIE, Y-wing, Speeder Bikes, etc. were all good sets.
I think Lego did an excellent job on the design and the size.
The Mf has 3 times the parts of the Snowspeeder, but costs 5 times as much,
and it's a pretty sad rendition, IMO.
All I want is for Lego to live up to the bar that they raised _themselves_,
not give us some good sets and some crappy ones. Saying "Hey it's just a
toy" is a cop-out.
