OT IS BACK BABY!! This is just awsome, a new Hoth pack and an actual Endor base. This is just awsome. Scout troopers and new Endor troopers, its just a dream. Also, the new Venator looks great, I'll for certainly be getting one. The other sets are alright, nothing special, just more CW...ya ya, whatever...OT BABY! ;) The hoth set looks great. Everything we could ask for, and no stupid gate, just straight to the figs. The Endor set is absolutly wonderful from what I can see. A real base, and scout troopers. But whats really awsome are the new Endor troops, LEGO really knows what we want. Lucky for me, I'v got a brithday in the upcoming months, so I will for sure be saving up those Birthday checks for the new summer releases...and I can hope for some pirates sets too.

I'd have to disagree with this. Sure, fantasy elements might be going well for LEGO, but I know a good amount of people that really don't like them. Adding Ghost pirates or any other extreme fantasy element into the pirates would upset alot of people. Its okay to put a Krackin in a set, but that is part of pirate folklore. Thats a myth, a creature pirates feared, that has a place. Things like Ghost or Skeleton pirates don't. It just takes away the realism which is loved by pirates fans. If LEGO does decide to go the wrong direction and make a pirate ship for Ghosts, I'd buy it, depending on the parts for the ship, like the hull and sails, but certainly not for the Ghost figures. I really hope LEGO thinks about this if they are planning on it, because it would make alot of fans unhappy. LEGO has enough fantasy themes as it is, its nice to have one classic theme to stay true to its roots.
