Thoughts re the future of the Planets Collection, and SW Polybags

[Diamondback]

I've been looking at my mess of polybag sets and planets, and two lines of thought started to develop...

First, what's left from the movies to do? (I'm open to CW, but since I don't watch the series, somebody else is gonna have to contribute those to the list.) Second, for things that might otherwise not see release but would make logical pairs to existing sets, what existing polybags or old-time Mini sets would be logical companions?

Are we treating the doubletap on Endor as the AT-ST is the Forest Moon that DS-II was built orbiting, and the more bluish world with the B-Wing is the IIRC gas-giant that it in turn orbited?

Hi,

Episode II

Geonosis and solar sailor

Episode III

Mustafar and anakins Jedi interceptor

Utopia and general grievous's starfighter

Kassheek and wookie caterman or yodas

escape pod

Episode V

Dagobah and battered x-wing

Episode VI

Death star II and imperial shuttle

Clone wars

The void and the ship that R2-D2 and the others

crash in

In my opinion though I think TLG should stop the

planets and do mini buildings and ships with minfigures e.g.

Jabbas palace and bib fortuna, cloud city and lando etc.

Tariq, a Mini Buildings line could be cool too... To be honest, I quit on Star Wars when all the Clone Wars stuff got to being too much to keep up with, and these sets were what drew me back in--small, easy to get a complete set of, and all the parts fit neatly into a ball that only needs to be rubber-banded shut for storage. "One man's trash is anothter's treasure," right? LOL

Similarly, a Buildings Series I'd say should have a similarly solid outer shell, with room to keep loose parts, display stand, figure and vehicle inside for storage and when necessary transport.

Hi, good ideas! I wander why TLG created the planets in the first place.Take the minifigures for example you open a box and think yay! Another tie fighter pilot! They need to put in rare figures in order for it to be worth the price.
