They've abandoned many lines without making all of the possibly profitable
models. That's been their thing for years--bring out a good theme and then
kill it without it reaching its full potential. Consider WW, which is
missing tons of sets; or pirates, which for the last couple of years was
nothing but imperial ship, pirate ship, and little island outpost; or Divers
or Adventurers or anything else. I would be amazed if Lego actually pursued
all (or even more) of the avenues for profit with the SW line.
