Which makes it odd that it was hinted at in an official interview...although
the person doing the hinting might not have known that it would be a violation.

Stormtrooper Patrol - 2-4 Stormtroopers, a Dewback, and some small constructed

Lightsaber Duel and the Gungan Patrol, they could do something similar here.)
Death Star Trash Compactor - OK, it's not Stormtroopers, it's Luke and Han in

won't include the helmets, thus creating a shortage and frustrating
fans...unless they put out a "SW Accessory Pack"...
