Nah, but they are planning a "Death Star Trench" set.  It will consist
of 10 copies of the new CRAPP[1], colored in light gray, dark gray, and
black.

More likely you'd get one CRAPP and a handlful of pieces with
instructions for x sections of the trench, meaning you'd have to buy 10
or so to get the set!

Good: Since the X-Wing is (about) 32 studs wide, the 'Trench Set' comes
with 1 gray 32x32 baseplate, 6 rectangular BURPS, and enough bricks to
fill in the gaps (and maybe even build a turbo cannon[1] tower).

Bad: 1 gray baseplate and 10 1x6x5 dark gray bricks.

Never thought I'd call BURPS good... ;)

[1] I am probably totally wrong about the name of these weapons.  But
you know what I mean, I hope.
