It would be pretty awesome. I'm not the biggest LOTR fan, but I think I'm mainly interested in the theme for the wealth of parts and minifigs it would bring. LOTR battle packs would be... well, really good.
Just watched ROTJ the other night, and there are a couple of Jawas in Jabba's palace. For all we know, Lego might decide to drive the up even higher than it's going to be already by including a couple of them.
As a long time Speed Racer fan, I can say for sure that you are on the right track. (pun not intended.) My favourite part is the windscreen. It's positioned perfectly.
My first post on here. Luckily I joined in time!
The Hoth Rebel forces have a snowball fight while they await the Empire's invasion. But there are a lot of other things happening is this scene as well...
Edit: Oops scratch that. After all that, I just noticed that I joined a day late. Must of just been by an hour or so. Any possibility of an exception?
