Thanks for the post although I have a hard time believing some of this.  I
just can't see 4 Mindstorms sets (Just for Star Wars no less).  Just seems
like overkill to me and doubt that there would be that many.  As far as the
rest it seems plausable although I have no Idea what the Kaadus would look
like and I would rather see a Model Team X-Wing then a Technic X-Wing.

Yeah, having 4 mindstorms kits and two technic sets sounds a bit much! (not
that I'd complain if it's true!) Maybe it's just 1 or 2 more mindstorms kits
that have multiple models? That'd be kinda like the one that features R2D2 and
the battle droid on STAP. (I forget if that's the developers or discovery kit)
Given that they've only come out with 3 mindstorms-type sets to date (at least
that's all I know of, not counting the mindstorms expansions), it seems kind of
odd that they'd release 4 *Star*Wars* Mindstorms sets all in 1 year... not to
mention the potential *other* genres they might want to follow...

Anyway, it'd make more sense to me if some of those Mindstorms sets were really
just 1 larger set... Or as another possiblility, they could be mindstorms
expansion sets, too. That also sounds a lot more plausible...

I would also like to see some Playsets for the Star Wars Theme just to see
what TLG could come up with other than ships.  Something like a Carbonite
Freezing Chamber or the Emperors Throne Room on the Death Star or Echo Base.

Yeah, I once made a list of all the Star Wars sets I could think of that TLG
could plausibly make... came out to around 40 sets, but about half of 'em were
playsets rather than vehicles... And a Carbonite Freezing Chamber is big on my
list of playsets... would be quite cool!

Hmmm. Anybody else out there thinking that there might not actually be a Slave I set for 2000? I'd love to see it, but it just doesn't seem to jive in my head as something that LEGO would do. Here are some of my thoughts: Slave I has very little (...) (25 years ago, 12-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)
