I have been seriously thinking about this; how many more classic vehicles can
be made? Looking at the rebel vehicles, it appears that they have all been
done. The only remaining vehicles are too big to make a mini-fig size
vehicle, and not charge $200. Perhaps that is why Lego talks about making
imperial ships next go around.
Here is my unofficial list, please add to it as needed.
Rebel ships:
1. X-wing (done)
2. Millennium Falcon (coming soon)
3. Y-wing (done)
4. A-wing (done)
5. B-wing (done)
6. Land speeder (done)
7. Snow speeder (done)
8. Blockade runner, troop transport, mon calmari ship (all too big for lego)
Imperial ships:
1. Tie fighter (why not yet?)
2. Darth vader's tie (done)
3. Tie bomber (soon I hope)
4. Tie interceptor (soon I hope)
5. slave 1 (done)
6. speeder bikes (done)
7. desert skiff (done)
8. AT-AT (maybe, although if it is to scale it will be huge)
9. AT-ST (soon I hope)
10. shuttle craft (soon I hope)
11. super/standard star destroyer, death star (again too big for a lego set)
Just my opinion, please respond and let me know what you think. If this
license is going to run for seven more years, what else will we see from the
classic line?

| (...) That is an intersting question. Perhaps we will see Jabba's sail barge? That would be pretty big, but not so big it couldn't be made. A Sandcrawler might be made as well. As was suggested, some playsets may also be made. Perhaps the base on (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) Unlike other line-ups, LEGO will not discontinue SW sets after two years. In fact, don't be surprised if 7141 X-Wing or another set is still in the line-up until the contract is up. However, who says it only has to be vehicles? (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| I think we'll also see: Lars Family speeder Cloud City Car Jawa Sandcrawler Swoop Bike (tried to do one of these myself but it didn't come out right) plus TLG would be smart to release a Z95 Headhunter... basically the same pieces as the X-Wing (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) I expect we'll see the TIE fighter soon, with a System AT-AT along with it, or soon thereafter, since the TIE pilot and AT-AT pilots wear nearly identical helmets, with the TIEs' being black and the AT-ATs' being in white.
