Their license runs to 2007, doesn't it?
We'll probably see Ep4-6 sets for the remainder of that time, with sets
for the new movies being promoted more heavily just after release of the
movies.
And the bigger sets seem to come later in the year, for the first season
the Mos Espa Pod Race didn't appear until May, admittedly with the rest of
the Ep1 stuff but still some months after the release of the initial
batch. This year, the Falcon appeared way after the first 2000 sets.
If they follow this schedule, we should be able to expect bigger stuff
towards mid 2001... Again, hopefully including some UCS stuff.
And it's obviously the Imperial year: DSDK (well...), shuttle, TIE, AT-ST
(admittedly with Chewie, probably both for cost and marketing reasons),
the Technic stormtrooper. There are a few recognizable imperial ships left
to do, but not that many. Now, if TLG could only produce playsets more
consistently... It would be great with smaller DS playsets that could be
combined to create bigger dioramas...
