Ahh but TLG's designers Arn't limited to the "currently available range of LEGO
pieces". They can design new parts if needed. I think the main problem is the

like a Stormtrooper.
The rest of the body isn't up to snuff either but if its head at least looked
Stormtrooperish I think there would be a lot more acceptance of it.

these for the Star Wars hitch and LEGO lost me.
