You're kidding, right? Just *look* at all the toys Hasbro made for SW. I'm sure
LEGO could come up with some more...
* Stormtrooper Patrol (maybe on Tatooine, with a Dewback? Possibly recycling
some Dino parts from the new Adventurers stuff?)
* Ewok Village (which I still want...mmm...trees, brown bricks, foliage...I'd
probably buy two and set my Forestmen up in one...)
* AT-ST
* AT-AT (maaaaaybe, anyway)
* Bespin Twin-Pod Cloud Car
* TIE Fighter
* C3PO!!!!!!! (Maybe a 'Jawa Droid Sale' set)
And that's just with a few minutes' thought...
