Wow scary thought for lego fans and the Lego n Lucas Arts accountants alike. Both Lego and Lucas arts are rolling in some good coin with the SW line but it all boils down to the almighty dollar figure each side wants when 2011 hits. They have a massive universe of resources since they started tapping into the stories outside the movies so it soundn't be a case of lack of material but at the same time... really my interest is in recreating a few of the scenes from the movies. Not saying that the odd new comic book etc based set wont make it into my collection but my purchace volume will sluff. Plus it adds up to be a big price tag when they redesign them and re-release them over and over. For example the New MTT in '07 cost me around $160 CAN w/ tax from TRU, way better than the previous version but I will not be swapping them out again. Same goes for an army of AT-ST's With the sweet '08 line I will be very close to owning all the cool vehicles I want from the movies, plus the major minifigs have been released already so the I got the ones I want, so my buying rate should slip. It helps that I let clones double as stormtroopers and vice versa. Part of me actually wouldn't be too heart broken, it would free up $ I used to spend on basic bricks for MOCs I now end up spending on SW sets. Plus I doubt it would be dropped for too long, Lucas Arts loves to celebrate the Anniversaries of SW so it would likely opt to hit up a fresh batch of AFOLs when the market unsaturates. LOL - this is a real head spinner topic but very possible as nothing is forever so a person can not really take for granted that SW lego will always be around....

Any new pics yet? The SW sets interests me

Hello all, LOL - silly long name on one set but still an overall WOW 2008 product line!!!!! My dream castle MOC would be a massive LOTR style battle but.... Until now my armies has been limited to only two races, Human & Undead. Humans might be from say castle, forest or ninja sets while the undead was skeleltons, ghouls and Tusken raiders(Look in those eyes! lol). The Dwarves - I hope they make this minifig avail in more sets b/c I already have several canapults otherwise the dwarves mine is the only other army builder opportunity. Ohh and the helmet is super cool Troll AKA Orc - I have read the name debate back and forth on this forum but as far as I am concerned a little troll is an orc. Giant Troll - This guy will be out numbered in my collection but at 3" Tall they will not be forgotten. Not too sure if I will like the tan or green color Trolls better..... As for the Bow & Quiver I can't decide. I like the look of the quiver but prefer the look of a crossbow vs longbow for the hands... But at the same time my forestmen and wolfpak minifigs dont quite look right in a large MOC environment packing a crossbow, darn colors.....
