With that said, how about Darth Vader or Boba Fett in the 8000's.

A Vader with a big cloth cape and long light saber would be pretty cool to say

A STAP would be cool for the Battle Droid.

Given the Stormtrooper and C3P-O, I think these would be likely sets for 2002,
or beyond.

I'm coming into the thread late, but has someone mentioned a really good AT-AT? I've seen a bunch of MOC's around the net that are terrific. And no, the Darkside Developer kit doesn't count. -Roy (26 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.starwars)
