Bruce, Good eye! The Torso is a Tusken raider torso, and here is the trick:
Like a lot of the star wars torsos, it happens to be double sided! So in
that pic you are actually seeing the front and the back of a tusken raider
torso. I was really pleasantly surprised when I took them out of the
package because the torso was the entire reason I bought the set, and then
to get variety on top of that was a huge bonus. I am a Wild West guy who
dabbles in other themes (esp castle) so whenever I see something new I
visualize it in a Wild West setting. The saddlebags are from the old
Fabuland sets. the Motorcycles had them as did a few of the animals. If
you are looking for some, they are pretty widely available on bricklink and
they run around 1.50. I believe they only come in those two colors. (isn't
it great when you findout about new pieces, I just about died when I saw
them for the first time, and then I found out that they had been around for
like 20 years!) Thanks again sorry for rambling. Jon

| (...) Cool. I've been meaning to get that set. I did pick up the Jedi Duel set in part because both torsos are really appropriate for castle themes (and Yoda = more hobbit legs). Plus it's just cool to have a minifig Yoda. :) I want the Bounty (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.western)
