3000 lego pieces including special parts - $10
R&D - $50
Star Wars use rights - $30
Profit - $60
------------------------------------------
Total price sold to toy retailer $150

Retailer selling at msrp $269.99
Taking it to a sci-fi convention and still get rejected by the girls - $Priceless

The way I see it if they wanted $199 for the blockade runner which was 1700+ peices and 27 inches then an extra $70 for the SD which has 3000+ peices and is 3 feet long is a steal.

at least in my book. :)

Thats why Mr. Lucas put out 4,5,6 first. These are going back and telling you what happened 'in the beginning...'

Got any pics of the Tie Fighter???

I have been trying forever to find the toy figures from the originial Star Wars... I remember I had a little R2D2 (at the size of GI Joes) when I was a kid.... but dont know where it went now...
