This might be one of the more challenging wishlists to craft. Each would have a carded figure to go with it. Numbers are purely in order of the Star Wars timeline - not preferences. But here it goes:

1 - Watto's junk shop with assorted droid parts & counter - with Watto [THE PHANTOM MENACE]
2 - Geonosis droid factory assembly line - with Geonosian warrior [ATTACK OF THE CLONES]
3 - Fortress Inquisitorius corridor & crypt - with Seeker Droid [OBI-WAN KENOBI - Part IV]
4 - Streets of Ferrix - with Imperial Riot Trooper [ANDOR - Chapter 12 "Rix Road"]
5 - Scarif Landing Pad / bunker entrance & master switch - with Rebel Pathfinder [ROGUE ONE]
6 - Lars Homestead Garage featuring oil bath & various greeblies - with C-3PO (dirty with restraining bolt) [A NEW HOPE]
7 - Death Star overbridge with view screen & "tulip" style work station - with "Death Squad Commander" as seen on the 096 Kenner card [A NEW HOPE]
8 - Executor bridge - with Imperial crewman (black jumpsuit) [THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK]
9 - Home One briefing room - with Rebel crewman [RETURN OF THE JEDI]
10 - New Republic Prison Barge corridor & cell - with NR Security Droid [THE MANDALORIAN - Chapter 6: The Prisoner]

 

[Tannith]

So I had to think about this one quite a bit because there aren't any playsets (after the Cantina) that I feel a particular burning desire for. But I've come up with ten that I think would be pretty fantastic.... and now I do indeed feel a burning desire for a few of these. I can't think of pack-in figures for this so I'll leave that to Hasbro.

1. Mustafar Control Room Playset [ROTS]
2. Dex's Diner Playset [AOTC]
3. Palpatine's Office Playset [ROTS]
4. Cloud City Hallway Modular Playset [ESB / TFU]
5. Bespin Gantry Playset [ESB]
6. Executor Bridge Playset [ESB]
7. Theed Palace Playset - hangar, hallway, throne room, generator complex, whatever [TPM]
8. Ewok Village Modular Playset [ROTJ]
9. Wookiee Village Modular Playset [ROTS / TFU]
10. Invisible Hand Bridge Playset [ROTS]

I also want stuff like Luke's Garage, Ben's House, and Yoda's Hut, but those only collect like three figures each. I prefer stuff that will give us a home to a bunch of figures, which all of these do. Except the Bespin Gantry but I think that's iconic enough to warrant its existence.

 

[Phantom-like Menace]

Home One Briefing
Vader's Throne Room
Executor Bridge
Mando's House
Cloud City Hallway
Jedha Street
Jedi Temple
Echo Base
Yavin Base
Kijimi

I have no real connection to Kijimi, but it could be an interesting environment.

2. Scarif bunker entrance, drums, crates, master switch console,palm tree (Rebel pathfinder pack-in)
3. Bespin Gantry (all-new Bespin Luke- exclusive distressed portrait)
4. Trash Compactor (moving walls mechanism (VC231 Stormtrooper Luke with POTF card and coin)
5. Sarlaac - bigger, wired, bendable tentacles, removable beak. Barada, blue pants, POTF card and coin)
6. New Republic Prison ship hallway (New Republic security droid)
7. Peli Motto’s workshop/hangar (Peli and pit droids)

@darthvlad if you put this on the front-page I can see if some of the Banthaskull commenters can contribute lists

I don't have access to the front-page, but maybe @YAK_Chewie can.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I've been a slacking -- sorry. Front page headline coming soon

😉

 

[UKHistory]

1) Hoth rebel base—control room with the ion cannon on top

5) cloud city gantry
6) senate
7) Jedi temple
8) Jedi library

[vikingrobot]

Some sort of Rebel Hangar set. It could come with crates, ladders, that scaffold thing that goes over ships, droid crane used to put droids in ships, power generator, hoses, and Rebel Ground Crew and transport

 

[jontgray]

1) Echo Base - generic corridor & control room (connect to extend) with Hoth Rebel Soldier
2) Cloud City - generic hallways & rooms (connect to extend) with Bespin Guard
3) Jedi Council Chamber - connects to make large rotunda w/ jedi Temple Guard? Council released with chairs separately?
4) Dagobah Playset (similar to Forge) w/ special dirty Artoo with some accessories
5) Ewok Village section with generic Ewok (connects together to make larger set
6) Home One Briefing Room playset connects in sections of the stadium that connect to make half of briefing room w/ Hologram Endor
7) DS Throne Room like Bespin CF Chamber - two halves make hole - ERG with it
8) Bespin Gantry (with Battle Damaged Luke Skywalker)
9) Executor Bridge playset with imperial officer
10) Echo Base Medical Suite with 2-1B

 

[darthvlad]

I thought I saw someone post (either here or in TBS) Jabba's Torture Room, which reminded me that it would be cool to have modular prison cells that Han and Chewie are thrown in. Hasbro could sell these by the cell or maybe two, with the option to connect more. I'm not sure about a pack-in figure. It seems a Gamorrean would be appropriate since you can army build them, plus with their size and small nature of the cells, I think it could work pricewise.

I was also thinking a pack-in could be a tentacle... or whatever Hasbro wants to get creative with.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

This one's for you, Chewie.

 

[huttman]

Modular seems to be very popular with Hasbro right now so here are a few ideas:
-Besbin hallway
-Jabba's Dungeon cells/corridor
-Hoth corridors
-Streets of Lothal
-Death Star hallways
Actual stand alone playsets I would like to see:
-Imperial Outpost-1985 abandoned idea (most definitely!)
-Yoda's hut
-Ben's desert house
-Jabba's droid interrogation room
-Ewok Village

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Ok... so many different ways to approach this... since we've now seen Hasbro exploring big Haslab playsets... medium sets like the throne room, and smaller sets in the $50-$60 range. Such a wide variety. Jabba's palace could be a full set, or a specific room for example.

So, I am going to break my list into three tiers... Big, Medium, Small... for a total of 10 playsets. Each one would likely include some sort of pack in figure (or two).

Big = $500+
Medium = $250
Small = <$100

1 - Death Star - (big)
2 - Star Destroyer Bridge (big)
3 - Bespin Gantry (medium)
4 - Echo Base Control Center (medium)
5 - Imperial Turret (medium)
6 - Chancellor Palpatine's Office (medium)
7 - Jabba's Droid Dungeon (small)
8 - Yavin War Room (small)
9 - Coruscant Streets (small)
10 - Bespin Hallway (small)

😉
