Good to see some positivity for Stash :) You make a very good point. I'm sure he has helped a lot of people in this respect.
As someone who appreciates all Lego Star Wars builds, but has limited myself to collecting the figs, I can't deny I am not disappointed in the fig selection. I would have expected them to have done a Death Star set up with more minifigures representing different scenes / episodes. A good selection may have tempted me to buy it and sell on the build. That way I'd get the figs and someone gets a slightly cheaper Falcon. Not sure why Lego has limited the selection, but maybe they think there will be enough demand anyway, although it seems a bit of a shortfall. Still, my purse will be happier. :)
