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)

My guess is that there´ll be a Slave I because: - it´s got a good size to be build as a modell (well a smaller scaled version) - we need more of the bad guys. One TIE is not enough for playing Star Wars - it looks cool, so it´ll sell good - we´ve (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

I too am a bit supprised they are doing a B-Wing but although the B-Wing did not get much screen time it has played a big role in many of the Star Wars Vidio Games that were release so therefore it is probably more recognizable to many (...)
