| | | (...) I just got an order from S@H which had the new January 2002 catalog in it. While the info. on the Star Wars sets has been out for a while (see set references here on LUGNET and on www.FBTB.net for example), I'll take a moment to post what is (...)

| | | | (...) or are the bricks in this set red instead of orange? Is it a photographic error? They should be orange. The studio models were orange. We need more orange. Can anyone confirm the true color for the set? Dave (23 years ago, 27-Dec-01, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

| | | | Yes, the majority of the set is red, with brown and dark gray accents. (I have one sitting on my moniter as I type this.) Overall, I think this is a very nice set. -Joel (...) (23 years ago, 27-Dec-01, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | It's cool that we're going to get four red medium-slope corners in a $10 set, but the set should've been orange. Continuing proof that too many people in the R&D department aren't familiar with the films. Dave "Joel Hoornbeek" <joel@webaccess.net> (...)

| | | | | | | (...) I share your disappointment (actually I'd rate this is one of my biggest disappointments with the SW theme), but since the model was approved by Lucasfilm I doubt the color was overlooked. Since they've made simliar decisions in the past, my (...) (23 years ago, 30-Dec-01, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | | (...) In my humble opinion the cloud car is rather spiffy actually. It seemed to scale with the the other starfighters and well constructed. In any event in the movies they seemed reddish to me anyway. My eyes! My eyes! What's the matter with them? (...) (23 years ago, 31-Dec-01, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

There was a lot of orange in previous sets (snow speeder for instance) and I am glad to see these very useful parts come out in red rather (...)

| | | | | | (...) C'mon, these parts will show up elsewhere, and getting them in a common color like red is almost a lock. Whereas, it's now almost a lock that we'll never get this set in the proper color, the color that every other toy Cloud Car since the 80's (...)
