this is speculation on my part but concerns things I like to think about while waiting for new sets to come out. I do not consider myself a builder, but mainly a set collector and so I like to think about what sets Lego is most likely to come out (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Hey, that reminds me. In Empire, when Han and Chewie confront the Probe Droid and blow it up, how did they get to and from the encounter site? And how far from the base were they? Dave! (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Not very far from base as the probe droid had already transmitted images of the power generator back to the imperials (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) 200 pieces is at least twice the price, given the price per piece. Yes, from our perspective it might be a mistake. I'm sure loads of kids will like it, though. (...) Actually, given the release pattern so far, wouldn't the most logical big (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Twice the price will still only be $20 or so. And kids may like it but it has disappointed a large portion of their audience. (...)

(...) Twice the price, or $20, can be too much when we're looking at gifts-to-get-the-kid...oy-section consumer goods... Besides, a correction. It has disappointed a SMALL portion of their audience. While important to TLG for several reasons (ideas, (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

<snip> You forgot the Imperial Shuttle. While I think their System Imperial Shuttle is really awesome (and at a $30 price point too!) I would love one of these in UCS scale. Of course my dream would be for an unlikely $250ish Star Destroyer. -Lord (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Okay, that was some heavy snippage. A UCS Y-Wing would be so awesome! If it was the same scale as the X-Wing, it would be 56cm, or 22in, or 76studs. :) Any ship from EP4 (the original, not the Special Edition) is more 'important' than almost (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

It sure would be great if TLG actually did a set of the Queen's Starship in chrome, but I'm sure they'll chicken out and make it gray. Dave (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, I dunno about that... the TIE Interceptor wasn't in EP4, in fact I'm pretty sure it didn't appear until EP6... but we've got a UCS set for it. EP4 just had regular TIEs and Vader's TIE. EP5 had TIEs and Bombers. EP6 had TIEs and (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I second that! The Imperial Shuttle is by far the coolest SW ship around...a UCS version is a must after the somewhat disappointing duplo version TLG just made public (7166). Who out there would be a lot more excited about the 2001 shuttle if it (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Hehehe... duplo... <G> I actually like the Shuttle Lego's putting out, I think it will work well with the rest of the SW Line... but I agree, the fuselage is kind of poor, and I'm a bit disappointed in the tail fin, it should be a solid color.
