I realise that this is a film based list, but it is certainly possible that
TLC will pursue the Expanded Universe of Star Wars if it continues to be
profitable (it MAY have been there in the film stuff, like that droid
transport thing-where was that?). If so, then there is TONS to do. Since
some of the main characters are now out of production from the 1999 series,
it is also possible that they may mint new versions of each vehicle
(re-built) and certainly more playsets or accessory sets including those
characters (a-la Studio). What I would hope for is the expansion of this
"you build it online and order the model you built from available parts"
setup talked about by TLC for 2002. If that is possible, I'll spend my time
virtual building what I think they ought to look like, then order them that
way. THAT would just rock.
