    Why we won't see the Emperor... —Eric Joslin
   Ok. I can almost guarantee we won't see a set in 2001 with Emperor Palpatine in it. As I was getting ready for work this morning, I happened to be looking at the box for the "darth" minifig pack. On the top of the card (the bit that would let it (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

     (...) Preferably in one of these new three packs, a la the battle droids, but with no officer. Or, with one "officer" with a Tatooine-Stortrooper shoulderpad, made as minifig neckgear and removable (a la epaulets). eric (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

     (...) You and me both, man. If Stormtroopers were only available in these (ie, not in sets) I could easily see myself buying 10-15 *immediately*. eric (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

       (...) Now *this* is an amazingly cool idea! Even taken out of the context of the bucket, it would be cool if they made a set that had Han and all his various clothes and accessories, etc. eric (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
