Providing that the human race does survive into the next millenium, we can
expect another year of great sets from Lego. A manager at Zainy Brainy told me
yesterday that there will be new sets next year from both Classic Star Wars
and Episode One.

Plus, he says that the normal two-year product cycle will not be applied to
the Star Wars themes; they will go through a three year cycle before they are
discontiniued.

I want to know what you'd like to see in the next wave of sets. I personally
would like to see...

AT-ST - complete with a nice cockpit and AT-ST driver. They could also include
1-2 Storm Troopers and a small pileup/barricade.

Bespin Cloud Car - with two drivers and a lot of orange bricks. A lot.

Slave 1 - with poseable wings, Han encased in carbonite, and a very cool Boba
Fett w/jetpack.

Sail Barge - a nice small barge like the one Luke and friends were about to be
cast from. There could be two of these, some cool minifigs, and a sarlac pit
made from tan peices.

I think these are good ideas. What do you think and what are your ideas?

(...) If they did make this, it would probably also come with Chewbacca(1). Also, I'd say there is a 90% chance of seeing an A-wing. Why? 'Cause they have all the pieces needed already in production. Jeff 1 - He'd probably be a regular minifig. I (...) (25 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) -I think that the outlandish lack of empire sets is the first thing that needs to be addressed. How you gonna rule the galaxy with two speeder bikes and a TIE? Darth Ryan (25 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

I would personally like to see a Star Wars idea book with plans for A-Wing, B- Wing, Ties (Interceptor and bomber) and the MF. and maybe even a parts pack that can make up the missing MF pieces, ie. MF = 7101+7xxx+ etc...+MF Parts Pack (Cockpit, (...) (25 years ago, 24-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
