First off, LEGO has said they won't do Minifig packs for SW like they have
done before; mostly because it kinda sorta goes against their agreement with
Lucasfilm and Hasbro.  Hasbro has the license for figures, LEGO has the
license for *building sets*, which is why the Minifig sets of Darth Maul,
Vader, and Palpatine went away and now we have the "story teller" sets ->
minimal construction but enought to qualify.

Having said that, I'd like:
==> a Rancor (I mean.. come on!)
==> Admiral Ackbar (or any Calamarian)
==> Oola (or any female twi'lek - i mean Bib is really ugly)

taun taun's would be nice.. we've got those ugly gungan things.. why not a
taun taun? hmm? what's up with that?

oh yeah, and alien jedi are always welcome!

(...) No, more figure pack for Star Wars . . . bummer. I was unaware of that. Perhaps then TLC would be willing to add additional figures in future sets. Such as a $20 set that normally would have 180 or so pieces and three figures could be changed (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.starwars)
