I just read on a website with forums that there's going to be a Death Star playset next year, and that it had been confirmed. Anyone know anything about it?
-S82-
I saw that too... But keep in mind that article was posted on April 1st, and chances are not quite all of the news in it is 100% true. Some is probably true, but some is bogus, chances are.

Grevious looks nice. Pretty solid, the shape's exact, and they even included the green gutsack. Probably won't have money for it, but it would be nice to have one.
Looks like his upper arms are detachable to create a two-armed appearance

If they can print parts for a tiny keychain, why can't they print parts for the bigger sets?
And the deal for Grevious is actually pretty good, considering it has 1085 parts. With the standard 10Ē/brick for LSW sets, it would've been $108.50.

Because it people don't like printed bricks. It ruins their collection. And it's a keychain. You don't want to put stickers on that, do you?
Oh, and rounded to tenths, Grevious would be $110. That mean about $125 - $130 for us Canadians. Whoop-dee-doo.

So how do printed bricks ruin the collection? If anything, stickers would ruin it because the stickers could peel off, and stickers are notoriously hard to get on perfectly right, and if it's tilted, it gives the finished model and unprofessional look (which is usually bad.
