The photos look fine. Maybe it's just you. Any bumps on the head or electric shocks lately?

Take care ...

Mine came with six B4-2s. I had no idea they were there until I opened it.

My understanding was this thing along with the StarDestroyer flew about as well as a brick.

Is that true ?

Have seen neither in person, but find that easy to believe as they are little more than PMCs apparently.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

Star Destroyer flew OK on D12-3.

Big problem for the massive number of Episode 1 rockets and the regular Estes rockets from that time period is that the motors used "Poopy Clay" which eroded or blew out chunks at ignition and during burn, so they had reduced and/or vectored thrust. That was "bad" and resulted in erratic/horzintal/crashing flights.

Motors have not had "Poopy Clay" for a long time. They fixed it as soon as it was identified as a problem. Estes motors now have the strongest clay nozzles they have ever had. Only problems now are the random few nozzles that simply pop out at ignition - very rare.

Yeah ... but they look cool. :-)

I bought a bunch of the Star Wars stuff at a toy store when they were marked down significantly. I paid something like $5 each for around a dozen of the starter sets (including some of the Y-Wing ones) . I gave most of them away to kids interested in rockets. I'm not sure, in retrospect, that they were the best way to introduce the kids to rocketry.
