You know, this quote really bugged me.
Clearly, Tim was not asking for a huge "Death Star" playset that made a
minifig-scale complete Death Star. Kenner/Hasbro have produced *many* playsets
from the Death Star settings- there's the four-story grandaddy from the
original line, the two-piece "Death Star World" from the short-lived
Micro-series (with metal figures, if that jars your memory), the multiple
playsets from the more recent Power of the Force line... there are lots of
ways, lots of sizes, lots of *solutions* to making a Death Star playset.
So, either the rep was giving a flip answer and playing dumb, or he's
remarkably dense and detached from the process of designing these toys.
I'm not sure which quality would make him a worse interviewee.
Anyway, LEGO can choose all they want to not to make a Death Star playset. I
don't care! If I really want to have a Death Star playset, I'll build one
myself... that's the beauty of LEGO.
