I certainly hope that you are right, but just about every Wal-Mart, Target and
K-Mart that I visit has plenty of Star Wars Legos stocked; I would expect that

batch that will only compete with existing sets for sales. But maybe I'm

Any takes on Lego's previous pre-Christmas strategies (bearing in mind that SW
is a whole 'nuther ballgame)?

On the other hand, you still have the fact that, regardless of which set they sell, TLG makes a profit. In addition to that, you'll have some (...) (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.starwars)
