Here’s my idea: A playset re-creation of the Death Star trench battle from
Episode IV.
I’d love to see two minifig X-wings (Luke and Wedge), with Vader’s Tie
Fighter, and a semi-built up trench (read--LOTS of er..new..gray), perhaps
with a turret or two with imperial gunners inside, with a mechanism to
“launch” a missile/weapons fire. Lastly, you could incorporate a
spring-loaded mechanism (kinda like the LEGO Studios bank breakout) that
would cause some of the panels around the trench to pop and fall off--to
simulate dropping the torpedo into the Death Star’s weak spot.
Now, thinking in the $150 range of practical application, that set would
probably exceed $150. If two X-wings aren’t possible, maybe use one X-Wing,
with Vader’s Tie (I don’t think an X-wing and Tie fighter have been offered
in one set) or maybe even a Y-Wing. Or maybe scale it down to a microscale
version.
I’m about to age myself here--but I recall those Star Wars metal lunch
boxes..who can forget that iconic image of good vs evil in the form of a Tie
fighter chasing an X-Wing?

Minifig might be a stretch at $150, but you could get an awesome microfig scene
for that money.
