Maybe - who knows, until we actually can get our hands on some of it - soon
I hope - of course, the US will get it before us Aussies do!!  ;-)

Survival??  Methinks they thrived on whatever it was that was in the dark
room they had been accidentally locked in.  :-)

Lots of roboriders/slizers parts in it, I think.  Only cost will stop people
from buying it, if there are sufficient other parts that are usable, though,
it should be fairly good value for money.

They look a lot like the cargo bay door pieces on the Technic Space Shuttle
#8480 but in orange and that weird looking light green color - I think the
pieces in the 8480 are perhaps a bit longer, unless these are a different
molded version of those.  It's hard to tell, like you said, they are pretty
small pictures to look at.  Would like to see more detail of these sets
though.  :-)

Cheers ...
