I have to agree with you on this....I was also disappointed looking at the
"fall preview". I think they brought out too much good stuff over the summer.
Now that the days are getting colder, so are the designs.... I guess!!!
I think the rebel blockade runner is cool... I am wondering if (and when)
they'll put out a (imperial class) star destroyer!! :)
The motorized goalies on the soccer line look nice, and the "new
championship challenge" looks nice also (even though I already have "version 1".
I think after 2 years of soccer, they would have put out all the sets they
could have.... (the supersport coverage did them in, since it had 4 or 5
different sets they could have sold seperately..... (a fan "memento" store,
a food concession stand, a small medic's station, a real press box, and real
camera towers. I guess that is why I really like the World Cup soccer line.
Nice grandstands, lightstands, and more "system" realistic sets!!
