I always thought the EG-6's looked like Huey, Dewie and Louie from _Silent
Running_. OK, just dug up some SR info. I guess there isn't that much
resemblance. <http://www.ed.ac.uk/~djp/prism/silent/duey.html>.
I've got to find SR on video somewhere. I don't think I've seen it since
before Star Wars came out. Well, maybe since Return of the Jedi. Either
way, it's been too long.

Going off topic... Silent Running is one of my favorite SciFi movies. It
still shows up on the SciFi and other cable channels from time to time.
Great Movie...

Blockbuster or Hollywood video must have it in stock... but no Lego.
