I agree that we will likely see a AT-ST, but I think it may come with one of
two playsets, like the B-Wing at the Rebel Control Center. If they chose a
Hoth model (not as likely) then it may have a turret defense or a generator
and figures like Hoth Rebel Soldier, Hoth Han (easy custom with a blue Arctic
hood), Snowtrooper (!!!), AT-ST Driver and maybe a Tauntaun. If they go with
Endor, we may see a Bunker playset (highly likely) and a Endor Leia, Han and
Stormtrooper(s) and AT-ST Driver.
I would have to argue for a $49.99 to $79.99 Shuttle after buying the MF for
$99.99 at TRU. Just to get the figure selection right and all necessary
parts, I believe they would have to go higher than $49.99. But not my final
decision, as I don't cost analyze parts like some of you folk:)
On the Death Star, if LEGO can make a $120.99 Pirate Ship, $110.99 Castle and
a $169.99 Train, then surely a Death Star done up like a mid-1980's castle
(i.e. sectional) would be great for kids and AFOLs. They could even do a S@H
exclusive Trash Compactor with Stormtrooper Luke & Han, Chewie and Leia for
$15.99 to fill the kids wish-lists for cheaper sets with main characters!!!!
You are right on, for my money. Too bad it'll be all gone when LEGO is done
