You know, there are a lot of minifigs it would be nice to see. Star Wars-
related, that is. I'm wondering what you people would like to see.

I'd rather not see too many minifigs.  LEGO isn't an action figure toy.

I just hope that whatever they do make, they make well.  I was kind of
disappointed by the Jar Jar minifig (the head being undecorated) but I
*love* Jar Jar's torso -- it's so perfect for Castle peasants.  Same with so
many of the other new torsos!  I could certainly pass on some of the more
obscure aliens from the Mos Eisley Cantina (or Jabba's palace), but it'd be
fun to have a few of the Ep4 cantina band members.  Love those heads.  :)


Having said that, I'm still waiting for Han Solo, Princess/Senator Leia
Organa, C3P0 and Chewbacca.

Yeah yeah!!!


And Queen Amidala is an obvious missing factor from the EP1 sets.

Also, what Episode 1 sets would you guys like to see in the future? I
want to know.

Isn't eight sets enough?

Hoo----no.  Bite you tongue!  :)

Me, I hope TLG makes it to 200 SW sets by the end of the N-year license.
And I think TLG is gonna have trouble fitting it all into the 71xx range!


If TLG makes any more EP1 stuff, I'd like to see something in the Technic
or Model Team ranges.

What kinds of things would you like to see in Technic?  (not disagreeing,
just curious)

(...) Hmm. The large-scale stuff that probably can't be done well in minifig-scale. Especially if it can have mechanical functions. Even some of the stuff that's already been done in minifig scale. X-wing, definitely. Even though it's been done to (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
