If we get Stormtroopers, we're going to get blasters. In my opinion, the most
exciting playset, minifig wise, would be a Bespin Playset - Stormtroopers,
Vader, Han, Chewie, Leia, BobaFet, C3PO, Lando . . . who else? I don't know. .
. I think that Lobot would be do-able. I doubt that we'll get Stormtroopers
with the MF. If it was a Tantooine playset, sure. . . but that ship appears in
too many scenes for Stormtroopers to be likely. I'm probably too much of a
dreamer, but I'd love too see a green Dewback (made of bricks and plates, of
course, with 2 or 3 Sandtroopers (orange pads, and all.) I'm also holding out
for an eventual Bantha (made from tan and brown bricks and plates) and Tusken
Raiders. That would be difficult, but I think possible. But while I dream, I
also have nightmares . . . Ewoks. I'm seeing Wicket and the Endor Forest
Playset. . . but come to think of it, that might not be all bad . . . at least
there might be an AT-ST and some stormtroopers. Just don't give me Wicket and
that awful glider.
