chewie Posted May 16, 2005 I found this on brickshelf it lookes pretty sweet i really like the torso clip so you can clip a gun to it brickshelf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eDeevo Posted May 16, 2005 I saw that this morning as well. It looks as if it is an 'official' set. Whoever created it did an extremely good job with it. The TaunTauns actually look similar to the 'generic' animals that LEGO produces regularly (like the Gungan Kaadu's...). Also the low piece count with nice detail illustrates how LEGO could easily make a set like this some day... Here's to hoping... Life is Good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chewie Posted May 16, 2005 yeah your rite about the tauntauns looking pretty close to there generic animal like the gungans kaadu's...and also as you said the low piece count if TLC made this as a set im guessing it might be pretty cheap....still none the less it looks great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eDeevo Posted May 16, 2005 'Cheap' for LEGO standards anyways ;) I know I'd buy some... :-D Life is Good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
