Lego's contract with SW ends in 2007.  I'm inclined to agree, I love the SW

(...) I have to agree with you. Redemption is sweet.:-) Anyway, speaking of liscences- when does Lego's contract about Star Wars expire? I would much rather see classic space and Blacktron than the current new Star Wars sets. John Kruer (25 years ago, 9-Mar-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.starwars)
