Rob, I'm thinking if the TIE Pilot names come from anywhere, it's the old "Customizable Card Game" that was out. It named a lot of unnamed stuff back in the day and they were giving TIE's squad designations and things.
I picked up both sets Sunday afternoon, and they're as cool as I had hoped. Only one set on the shelf or I'd have bought more I think. They're really sporting some slick decoes on the helmets I think, especially Yong's Y-Winger bucket. I dig it.
I need to contact TRU because they were going to honor the deal, however a 3rd set wasn't available, so I need to see if they'll maybe give me a discount on something else or whatever.
