Thanks for the pic Eric.

Some of the new Star Wars looks nice.  The Tie looks good, but can't tell
about the pilot or stormtrooper really without a better pic.  The shuttle is
larger than I thought it would be, and it has two red imperial guards, that
look good!  AT-ST?  We had a good idea around here what it would look like.
Watto's junk yard looks good too, but again, a clearer pic would be better to
tell.  The droid escape just seems like a cheap way to get C-3PO and other
R2D2.  And is the droid carrier really needed?  Do we need more trade
federation droids?

The Life on Mars and Action look interesting.  A new group of aliens, and the
possibility of a minifig crewcut hairpiece?  Plus some of the sets look
interesting.

And what's Bionicle?  Mechs like Mark suggested or more Throwbots?

Just my 2 cents.
