(...) One of these comes with the Snow Speeder set for the Hoth Rebel Soldier that is included in that set. Although I would not call it the best blaster in the world.

I read in an article on the new Star Wars line that the initial classic set release had the fastest turn around time at lego ever - 1 year. I would guess that the number of new pieces in the sets would be limitted by that short turn around. They (...) (26 years ago, 23-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Yes, Tom, we must stop it. I can't believe how many blaster cannons they have on those SW sets! They have it almost everyone except the landspeeder!
