USA Today has this
interesting info on Star Wars Lego products on their web site.
"With the first of three Star Wars prequels, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, set for release over Memorial Day weekend 1999, check out this exclusive peek at the upcoming Star Wars Lego line. Look for these and other toy images to pop up at www.lego.com during the holiday shopping season. But if you want to give them as a Christmas gift, make it an IOU: Lego sets depicting images from the first three Star Wars films won't appear on shelves till March. In May, sets showcasing the new trilogy will remain with Lego as exclusive construction toy maker well into the new millennium as the films are released."
