If there's a market for things like the Statue of Liberty sculpture, I
believe there's a market for similarly-priced sets that are more traditional
Lego System sets.
Of course, the non-Star Wars sculptures have largely disappeared - so maybe
there wasn't really a market for those kind of sets after all.
I agree about the UCS sets being for the hard-core Star Wars collector, and
that they're probably attracting people who don't ordinarily buy Lego.

My idea is pretty out-there, I know. But I want to see more Legends released
too, and it is one way to get more sets out.
