The one really obvious vehicle TLC hasn't done is the Nubian from Ep 1. The
attractions are clear: a chrome exterior, definitely Amidala, Ric Olie, and
R2-D2; possibly Obi-Wan, Panaka, and R4-D5 (gotta get more use out of that
mold. . .). This would be an entirely doable set as a scaled-down version
(like the Falcon). However, Watto's Junkyard is the big Ep 1 set for 2001, and
by 2002 Ep 1 will be old news and I expect most of the sets, and certainly all
of the "non-classic" sets, will be Ep 2.
In other areas. . .I really have trouble believing that TLC would use the Kaadu
mold for only one set. Since they seem to have tapped out ideas for Ep 1, I
expect that a Tauntaun set should be in the future somewhere.
