Actually, 2001 *will* be the Imperial year. Sorry, I don't have a bookmark to
it, but I remember there was an interview with somebody from Lego. He said
that it'd be the Imperial year, and when asked if we would get stormtroopers,
he said "Yes, in 2001". Too bad I can't locate it, though...
I agree, we need more Imperials. How are these kids supposed to be playing
with this stuff, anyway?:) Heres the rebel hanger: X-Wing, Y-Wing, A-Wing, B-
Wing, Snowspeeder. And...heres the Imperial hanger...a TIE Advanced and two
speeder bikes:). It would be *really* cool if, when they release the normal
TIE, they have two TIES in one set for $30. Maybe two normal TIE
fighters...or more reasonably a TIE and a TIE Intercepter. I also believe
the'll release all the mini-fig pack figs in normal sets...I'm hoping
Palpatine will be in a shuttle. They have essentially run out of rebel craft
to produce, unless they want to get wierd and start making sets like the V-
Wing. I'm very confident there will stormtroopers on the shelfs before the
year is over.
