Strange, I didn't see any topic about this set in the historic files of the Star Wars forum.  Pretty cool looking set.  Last night some lady put a brand new sealed box 8039 up for sale on a local selling site in Wheat Ridge, CO.  She said "Paid $120. Asking $60".  Some lucky SOB (son-ofa-brickpicker) snagged $400 worth of bricks this morning.  Why do I not live in Wheat Ridge, CO, why ............

I just had to get that out of my system....

It's a cool set. My son's favorite ship. Plays with it every day.

Holds fond memories for me, about a month after I had started investing in Lego last year, I found one in the wild. It was my first big sale on Ebay 

I think this set came out after my son discovered Nerf guns and began his descent into the dark ages ... Sadly enough ... I wouldn't have minded at all if we added this to his collection...

what a coincidence... just bought used one from ebay in Germany for my brother and his son... the seller kept writing that it is complete but from the pictures I am not so sure... crossing my fingers... it should arrive this coming week
