Besides Death Star Troopers, I don't see much there.

I agree, I'm stocking up on those bad boys. I'm a sucker for Imperial Guards too.  I'm waiting for them to hit $9 before I buy any.  Is the Emperor in any of the new sets?  I noticed he wasn't coming with the Star Destroyer.

Ditto. Nothing good arriving until at least May.

Emperor comes only as a small statue in that set. Vader has a new color head under the mask.

I found the Emperor I want, but he's only in 10188 and 8096.  It looks like I'll be paying a premium.

I'm not into Yoda Chronicles, but I kind of like that Jedi Scout Fighter set.  Don't think I'll buy it, but I do like the look of it.  I'll have to bricklink the Ithorian to put in my Cantina.

Goes for around $17.

OK Death Star Troopers seems to be good, just wondering why? What makes it stand out?   I was looking at all the sets.  It seems rather basic in comparison.

Just wondering the attraction???  thanks

Can anyone explain to me why the Imperial Guards have mini lightsabers in this pack instead of pikes? Is it something out of a show or something?

Classic Trilogy - Death Star Troopers are new - the Royal Guards are holding pikes, they just look wierd - they are cool

Death Star Troopers are new figure needed for DS setups as they didn't come with the set.  Army builders of this genre are going to be all over these as well as having another avenue to getting Imperial Guards that are more accurate compared to the originals with the dark red arms.

They are trying to be more screen accurate.  The actual staff that they hold is two-tone grey and black, but it's more of a pool cue than a pike or spear.  They would have to make a new mold for it to be perfect.  I personally think they should have stayed with the spear, but I see what they are trying to do.

I like the Police Gunship it is a nice build and a neat looking set. Sold the mini figs to cover the cost of the ship and then some. There is a new movie police ship coming out that looks very similar in design.

The new Sandcrawler

 

Any idea on a piece count

Damn, you beat me to it, I was just coming back from Eurobricks to post this.  Ninja'd

At first I thought that was a picture from the DK book of the old Sandcrawler, but I see the set number (75059) is the new one.  Thanks for posting!

I was hoping they would go to the newer construction type treads and not the small treads from the previous Sandcrawler.  Those are a pain in the ass.  I made the comment elsewhere, but doesn't it look like there is light coming from inside the hull?  Looks like the bluish LED light coming from it and shining on the Jawa on the sled.

Might be just me but I don't like the outside.  I was hoping for an amazing looking upgrade from old one but this new one looks worse to me.

Has to me more to it, there's no way this is 2500+ pieces.

We only have a partial view of the set. There could be some intricate design inside the Sandcrawler that uses a lot of pieces.

I personally don't care about the playability.  If that is the new sandclawer, there is no way I am getting rid of my current one.  The new one is hideous......at least from that picture it is.

I can't help but find it funny that we get all emotionally attached and outspoken about a sand transport vehicle driven by nomadic aliens who use it to haul junk and scrap around to flea markets on a desert planet.
