So what would these buckets be like? Here's some examples:

The Hoth bucket...contains primarily white/grey/tan bricks to make a few
small vehicles like those above...maybe the rebel turret from the
movie...plus there should be several snow troopers and rebel troopers.

The Endor bucket...contains primarily green/brown/grey bricks and
instructions to make an ewok treehouse, ewok catapult (not sure how one
would model this), ewok glider, an AT-ST (just as pathetically modelled as
their stand alone set) and a basic bunker for the rebels to blow up. Comes
with a few ewoks, few stormtroopers, AT-ST pilot and maybe some rebel • commandos.

The Death Star bucket...contains primarily black/grey pieces. Instructions
to build trash compactor, prison block, etc...

Now along with the buckets, you include some pictures of some much larger
things kids could make by buying _multiple_ buckets...for example, in the
hoth bucket is a little booklet that shows you can build an ion cannon with
2 buckets, and pretty nice rebel base with 4 buckets, etc, etc.

Comments?

I for one, would love to see buckets will just such a scheme.  I don't think
they should have minifigs though, without minifigs you can lure the train guys
in with the fact that they would make great terrain buckets.  All of these
would be loads of fun, and definatly worth buying multiples of.
