Since the Palpatine fig exists, I imagine that he will be included in a
Lambda-Class Shuttle set in the $50 range. I also expect that the Tie will
include some kind of docking-bay equipment and/or small docking bay headquarters
(much like the B-Wing.) Chances are that either the AT-AT or the Sandcrawler
will be the next $100 set. I also think that we will see an AT-ST in an Endor
environment, along with a couple of Scout Troopers and some foliage (for about
$30.)
Sometime in 2001 I'd guess that we'll get a Bespin Cloud Car ($14 range.) I
won't be suprised if we also see a Tatooine playset - with moisture vaporators
and Biggs thrown in for good measure - probably the Uncle Owen homestead, and a
Dagobah playset is becoming more likely - lots of foliage, R2, Luke, a
pterodactyl, a snake, a few Adventurish odds & ends (a lamp, flashlight, supply
boxes, and, of course, Yoda.)
I'm not holding my breath, but I still hope for some Sandtroopers on a Dewback.
