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
