For me it just has to be this badboy



I've been obsessed with it since I was a kid, the battle at the end of ROTJ and the death star scene is fantastic I just love the way when it is first introduced it referred to as a piece of junk but becomes one of the main focal points of the trilogy.

Really? It never fires a shot in ROTJ.
Anyhow, fast or not, it mahoosive compared to say, an X-wing. Why would small agile fighters ("...which are evading our defences Lord Vader...") possibly benefit from being accompanied by a big lump of a cargo ship?
It does fire a shot, a few in fact when Lando is flying it during the death star battle at the end.

The ship with tits. Best. Ever.

I have a vague recollection from my childhood of George Peppard in that one?

(I quite like that Lego model - whoever made it has modelled it on the description in the book)

I take it you haven't read the books then. The Heart of Gold is described as being shaped like a running shoe.
Particularly modelled on nike?

No I haven't so the lego model must be really good.
