Great reply, it shows you put some thought into it. Last I counted, there
were 14 SW related sets released for the 99 model year. This included about
equal numbers Episode 1 and original trilogy. Then for the 2000 model year
they have scheduled to released 15 sets(includes technic droids, and Falcon),
related to the star wars universe. Equal numbers Ep 1 and Original trilogy
(don't forget the Dark Side Discovery set and UCS). So if they keep this pace
up for one more year before the new movie, they need 13 or so more sets, 6 of
one series 7 of the other. Can you even think of 13 total more sets(including
system, technic and UCS)? Its hard to guess as they could do repeats like a
UCS of a smaller model(Naboo Fighter with chrome bricks would be awesome and
do-able). I'm glad you see too that the Tyderian shuttle is likely to be the
50 set. The 100 set for the 1999 model year was the Mos Espa Pod Race. This
year it is the MF. I don't count UCS in the usual breakdown. So I think we
will still see a 100 set. How about a DS playset base. It will most likely
be a ship though so that leaves the ATAT and the Sand Crawler as the last of
the large vessels. Also, we now have a C3PO mold, so they are going to use it
again to get their moneys worth. Sand Crawler filled with Protocol and
Astromech Droids is my guess due to the mold being unuseable for anything
else. One more thing I noticed, and its pretty secret. I was looking at my
boxes and on the tabs, there is a manufacturing date and the packing/printing
company name. It appears they have the boxes prepared and ready to go 3
months before the product is released. This would mean that for the November
release of 2001 model year sets, the boxes are ready in July or August.
Anyone want to give a call to the packing company and probe for information?
