OK, Lego Star Wars is a great idea, although I have a few questions...

First, why two different R2 units and no Threepio?

Why so few sets for Eps. IV and V, two total?
-----No walkers, ST-AT/AT-AT?

How come there's no horse/dragon like creature for a Tantum on Hoth?

What about an A-Wing or B-Wing models?  Although John Van did demonstrate the
effects of the creative ingenuity of a dedicated fan (nice B-Wing).
Personally, I'd like to see a B-Wing over a Y-Wing any day.

And where are the uniform foot-soldiers of the Empire in the good 'ol white
and black?  TLG sells Rebel foot-soldiers for their one Hoth set, and even a
maintenance guy for the X-Wing, but only the rarely viewed Jungle soldiers in
EP. VI?  Do I sense a little prejudice here?  After all, what did the Empire
ever do to lego;)

That's enough from me...

Regs,
