*Parent* well Joey there are some people that are one gendre that like to dress up as the other, they are called "homosexual". :-D

*kid* Wow mommy! thanks, now I'll call everyone that dresses weird "homosexual"!

[Sarg_Kulo]

Anyone else get Liminaru, Dipa and Bultar mixed up? I mean they all look the same.

OK, this is getting off topic *satis*

[Sarg_Kulo]

Yeah, the wings do bend down at the edges. And ARC stands for Advanced ReCon. ;)

I'm pretty sure that that was a joke

[snefroe]

so i bought and built the arc today... the good thing is the size. it's big! i also like the colors, the pilots, the computers, the canopies, the nose, the front of the engines, the droid... i hate all the rest.

what a crappy machine. i don't wanna go to war with this... they're on the side of the good guys, right? no wonder they lost the war...

Well, I read a book where Luminari was one of the main characters, so I've always sort of known how she looks. I don't even know who the other two ARE. *wacko*

WEEEIIIRRRDDD :X:

Oh My GOD IT's hideous...

But wow, george lucas and all those star wars people must have a great imagination

to be able to come up with all those different aliens

[Sarg_Kulo]

Dipa is that bog eyed one with a jewel on her forhed, bultar swan is chinese I think, you see her in the areana.

I used to always get them mixed up.

[Sarg_Kulo]

I didn't like how many holes it had in it. Some are easily fixable but some are just anoying, infact all are just annoying.

I also wish this set came with a random little something, you know like some lego sets do ;)

if you look at the machine, all you basically see are wings, they're just not always used as wings... :P

a couple of people were happy with the details of this set... I don't see details at all. all i see is a bunch of printed pieces, but that's it. it's supposed to be a recon bird. i don't see any detail (radar or whatever) that indicates that function. in fact, it's a cruise ship with only one passenger: the guy in the first cockpit. Clearly, the only thing he has to do is relax and enjoy the view, 'cause he doesn't have any computer what so ever... there are no details on the wings or the hull either. at best, there is a printed part, but no lights or anything else...

the wing mechanism takes way too much space and doesn't really impress me at all... sure, it works, but did they really have to spend all those technic parts on this? It screws up the hull, the wing and the engine, which is, by the way, not particularly breathtaking either, for instance, TLC should have used this cilinder (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30361px3) instead of the all black version... and because of the technic parts, you get the impression that the entire plane is a combination of a fuselage, two engines and two wings barely attached to each other at all; the real thing is just one ship...

it seems to me that:

1) Tlc doesn't care about real details in this star wars line (the turbo tank doesn't have a real cocpit either,...); normally, they just use a sticker to suggest details (stickers are NOT my cup of thea, btw).

2) they're juniorising (sorry Jipay) the star wars line. Playability (the wing's mechanism,... ) has become more important than making a good, solid model, therefore there is no need for details

3) you can clearly see that TLC is using the same parts for the entire star wars line. it's as if the board told the designers:

- "you have to build two birds, a tank and a walker with only these parts"...

- "but dear board, we can only build wings with these parts, nothing else..." ...

- "Dear designers... Get it done... or find another job..."

[Sarg_Kulo]

WOW, that was kind of harsh

[WesternOutlaw]

I think it's a nice set (even with the drooping wings).

[The Middleman]

As far as the complaints about wing details go, I dont' think there are any other than the Republic Fleet symbol on the actual thing, so that's a bit of a moot point. Otherwise, I agree.

[xwingyoda]

It sure is a nice sets BUT with a LOT of defaults, I don't understand why it has such a high rating *wacko*

We can only hope that the V-Wing will be far better made ;)

Well, they did the JSF ok, so the V-wing should be pretty good - it's similar.

Also TLC did not messed up Ties so I think it should be good ;)
