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.
I would hope to see some playsets being issued soon. One idea, would be to
cast the "river & mountains" baseplate in tan, and have it serve as the scene
where Luke is attacked by sandpeople and rescued by Obi-Wan. The set is
basically already done - throw in the landspeeder, R2, 3PO, Luke, a new
'hooded' Obi-Wan, a couple sandpeople, and some tan and brown bricks & burps,
along with that canyon-like baseplate, and there you go!
