One of the real disappoinitng things about the toy line is the lack of stuff to go along with the figures. I mean, didn't they originally make these figures so small to accomodate affordable vehicles and environments?
I can't say I'd've been any more excited about the Compactor Sets if they'd had wall-crushing sounds or dianoga wails--the sculpting was what made these sets great. The future Screen Scenes haven't really caught my eye, either, possibly because they are such small chunks of bigger scenes rather than a total environment (like the Compactor, which only needed walls to be complete.)
All that said, I could go for some rooms if they stayed in scale (Death Star Control Room, Lars Kitchen, Luke's Medical Suite on Hoth) and laid on the detail (which means no more crummy cardboard cut-out walls!) An ever-connecting Tantive IV corridor would be great, though.
