Heh.. I'll see your $0.02, and raise you $0.026 (I'm in Canada) <grin>
After looking at the sets for another couple days, and reading all the
comments others have had, I'm about for some more comments:
Extreme slope corners!!!!!!! :) :) :) I just can't get over these! In blue
and (dark) grey! This is the element I will spend the most amount of money on
next year, guaranteed. I'm already budgeting for at least 10 of the MTT's.
Anyone want some battle droids?
Lots and lots of brown elements make me happy - several varieties of plate,
slope and brick (mostly in non-castle sets, but I'm not picky) promise to make
a good impact on my collection, and a bad one on my wallet, since it's really
unlikely I'll resell any brown elements at all.
I still don't like the new tower piece. I may keep a few, just for
completeness' sake, but I'll probably end up dumping a lot of these on my sale
page.
I like the new torso's, as far as I can make them out - the new king, and the
cowpack guys brigantine-ish armor will likely replace some of the existing
torsos in my army.
On to more specific comments...

Holy not interested, Batman. This set is going to have to be DIRT cheap for
me to get any at all.

Ooooh, I hadn't noticed those the first time around. Gotta get me some of
them- I like those 1/2 inverse arches.

Those baseplates are just a little too flimsy in the middle for my taste, and
not stunningly useful in a larger setting, but yeah, the various other bits
here will make it a must buy. I'm not sure how many I'll want until I get a
better idea of what's in it, though. It does come with a decent number of
minifgs, though.

This strikes me as one of the 'mid-range' sets that I'm likely to want a lot
of once it hits sale prices.

Another look at this set makes me think that the window piece is actually
printed on transparent. Here's hoping! I probably won't get (m)any of these,
just because it has nothing I want that I can't get elsewhere.

I like what I can see of the element selection here, but I suspect that it's
going to end up being too high a price/piece to be worth it. I think they are
black chains, though.

Neat looking. I'm not sure why, but it kinda appeals to me. I might actually
buy this one for the set instead of the parts. <gasp!>
