That is why I have absolutely no idea why TLG is only releasing around 8-10
sets every year. I have a ton of money to spend, but I can only buy so many
Naboo Fighters and X-Wings. If TLG put out more sets, including mini-fig
packs and play sets, I am sure most SW and Lego fans would buy. I mean, the
playability is quite poor when there are no Stormtroopers to fight, for
heaven's sake.
And is it my imagination or has the excitement died down since last year when
we first heard about SW Lego? It seems like the most recent wave has been met
with lukewarm reception.
So if anyone associated with TLG is reading this, give us more sets to buy.
More sets mean happy customers. Happy customers mean more sales. More sales
mean more profits.
