Okay, the 'scale' issue wasn't appropiate at this point, but there were
so many posts about it in the last few month that I couldn't resist to
mention it :-)

The MF is much too expensive for sure. I hope they don't think that they
can charge more for 'most wanted' sets than for the 'normal' sets...

Hmm, if I look at other toys it's quite similiar: I collect McFarlane
figures and there are some I simply don't like and I would never buy
them (both original creations and action figures from movies or comics).
Everyone has his favourite sets and all the other set must stand up to
these. I don't think the MF is THE best Star Wars LEGO set, but I think
there are a few thousand people who think so :-)
CU,
Stefan
