True enough although I think a little more complexity would not hurt. I mean
my 5 year old nephiew can put together the 8 - 10 models fairly easily. I
think TLG need to up their standards a bit.

NNOOOOOoooooo!!! Must Have Stormtrooper...
I just can't see TLG or (Lucas allowing TLG) to go another year without a
Stormtrooper. We are talking about the most recognizable stand-ins in motion
picture history. Other then the main characters this is the one I associate
with Star Wars. Must Have Stormtrooper...

I agree of course it is just nice to see it from the other direction.
