Toyfare magazine this month has some previews.  Infact they now have a full
page in the preview section for lego, I like that.  It's nothing we haven't
all seen, but there was one tidbit that caught my eye.  "There is also talk
about releasing another ship in the scale of the star destroyer.."  Anybody
got a clue what it might be?  Death Star?  Ackbar's big ugly ship, whatever
the name is.  I would like to see a playset that size and price range, that
would be worth it.  Lots of figs and stuff.  But has anybody heard rumors of
what it might be?  Toyfare isn't usually known for bogus rumors, that one
came from the Toy Fair in NY recently.

The only "famous" capital ship left (after the ISD and the RBR) (assuming
they ignore the VSD) (and ignore smaller ships like the Falcon and the
Nubian) is the Neb-B.

That would make a beautiful Lego model, although the scale would have to
be larger than the ISD to do good greebling, and I'm not sure how a
graceful-looking stand/support would work. . .

Personally, I'd like to see the Trade Federation Battleship

It's big, round, and all greebly. Somehow I don't think we will see another
bad-guy ship though. The Millenium Falcon is most likely.

(...) While I doubt any of the Trade Federation ships will see production in UCS form if none of them have even shown up in minifig scale, I very much expect we'll see more bad-guy ships.
