2004 - Good or Bad year for the Star Wars line?

[Vader]

Oh how i dream of the day when we get a sail barge and a sandcrawler. :'(

[Orlego]

Same here. It looks like we can keep on dreaming because I don't think Lego is going to do it. :'(

[Vader]

Its looking very unlikely seeing how the next year at least will consist of ep3 sets and after that their will only be a year left.

Guess if we want either of them we will have to build our own, hhhmmm might have to do that. :)

[Orlego]

Wow, ok, ordering a million brown bricks now. ;)

Damn, all new brown >:(

[Vader]

Alot of people build their sail barge out of gey plates but it would cost so much and brown plates will be just the same.

So i guess we will just have to wait and hope :/

[Orlego]

Are we talking grey or bley? ;)

[Vader]

On these boards a little from coloumn a and a little from colounm b ;)

[Orlego]

LOL, nice! :)

There are essentially four things I think LEGO needs to make:

- Sailbarge

- Sandcrawler

- Some sort of Hoth set with Tauntauns, an imperial probe and / or a Wampa

- the TIE-Interceptor.

I find it a very big letdown that LEGO brings us the 1,256,587,584th version of the TIE fighter, instead of giving us a TIE Interceptor instead...

Oh, how true it is my friend. Tie Fighters are cool but not after Lego makes 1,256,587,584 different versions. :)

A Hoth playset would be awesome as long as it is not like Final Dual 1 & Final Duel 2 :(

I much rather see a Hoth Playset done along the lines of Cloud City as opposed to the Final Dual and Jabba's Palace sets.

[Vader]

The final duel sets seemed to be done so that lego could give people a chance to get more figs at a cheap price, remember before they were released you could only get vader and the emperor buy buying a dear set.

But ive got to agree they did suck, but then i didnt like the cloud city either and dont get me started on the jabba playsets i was so disapointed with them that i had to build my own.

I don't really care for the Cloud City set, but it is much better than final duel 1 & 2. I also agree with you on the Jabba issue. But I much rather have the Jabba Palace (on sale at S@H for $19.95 US) the way they are than to have them like final duel 1 & 2 or even the cantina (much worse than the Jabba sets in my opinion).

Your Moc looks great however! :D

[Vader]

Glad you like my mocs ;) :-D

I bought the cloud city but regretted it afterwards they should have just built a large carbon chamber instead and included the figs. Jabbas playset was better value Imo and the catana for me has to be the worst set lego as produced. *sick*

Wow, a carbon chamber playset never crossed my mind. That would be an awesome set. Add it to my wish list that also includes the Holth & Real Final Duel Playset. *wub*

[Vader]

I want a hoth set that would include a wampa and a taunton, but knowing lego we probably never will. :'(

Me too! And my ideal Hoth set would be huge and cost a "Megablock" load of money. Do you think Lego would ever make a $5,000 set? ;) Well, I guess I will always have my wishlist! :'( ;)

[ApophisV]

:D

IF they make such a set, they should make it available for at least 10 years... Otherwise most people haven't enough time to save money for it... ;)

[Vader]

Yon know theres loads of little sets that they could give us, han + chewie + probe droid, luke + wampa +taunton, rebal ice tower and loads more all they would need to do is include a baseplate and white bricks.

Yeah, but why have a bunch of small sets when you can (and have to) take out a loan to buy one $5,000 set? :P ;)

[Vader]

True but lets face it its more than likely we will get little sets like the duel ones.

[Orlego]

Sure, go ahead, kill my joy and my dreams Vader. Just put everything in a blender and turn it on high. ;)

[Vader]

Flicking the switch right now ;)

[jonfett]

Just put everything in a blender and turn it on high.  ;)

Man, make sure you put those stinking "playsets" in it too!

I am sure that Lego could have done a better job on Jabbas palace, the final duels are just storytellers like jedi defense so there is no need for them to be a real big set, but I would love to see a bigger throne room.

Cloud city was ok for me, yes they could have improved on a few things but overall the set was good.

Lets hope that Lego make us happy when they make some hoth sets! :)

I think the dual sets were LEGO's ultimate test to see how far they could go up with the price while going down with the pieces. The dual sets cost 10
