I was just thinking about the SW sets we've seen so far from the Classic
Trilogy, and I was realising that TLC is almost out of major vehicles! Forget
speculation about what they *might* do next, what's left to do?
*TIE Interceptor
*TIE Bomber
I doubt they'll release these in the same year, though.
*Sandcrawler
This would have to be so big, I can't imagine them making a set for it. I
mean, few people would recognise it!
*AT-AT
I personally think this could be done for a $90-$120 price point.
*Jabba's Barge
Now we're really stretching, but they did do the Skiff, so why not?
*T-16 Skyhopper
Never even on film- seems unlikely
*Sandtroopers with Dewback
Uh. The Dewback would end up being a Kaadu-like guy, but it might be cool.
Definitely good for getting lots of Stormtroopers.
*Han and Luke on Tauntauns
Gungan patrol part 2, seems likely.
*Cloud Car
Mmmm, or-ange.
Am I forgetting anything? This is all I can come up with that is even remotely
possible. Keep in mind, though, I'm talking Classic Trilogy and System sets,
here. I left out anything that seemed way too big for TLC to bother (Star
Destroyers, Tantive IV, Mon Cal Cruisers, etc)
Any thoughts? Agree/disagree?
