Hey! You didn't mention the new Star Wars sets! We're finally getting a
Sandcrawler with 3 Jawas and assorted droids! Woo-Hoo! And check out the
latest sections to the modular Death Star sets - finally, the cell block,
and look how it fastens on top of last year's trash compactor! Cool! And
check out that hanger bay - it actually holds the Millenium Falcon! Plus
more cool ships from Episode III!!! And look at all of those white macaroni
bricks on the turret in the Hoth Echo Base set - it's about time we get some
Snowtroopers! And you gotta love that UCS AT-St! Wow, TLC has really out
done themselves this time - and they still have the Star Wars license
through 2007!
