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.

I do not have a scanner but I tried to get the best pictures I could using
Vision Command for Mindstorms. I put 24 pictures on a temporary site (because
my official site isn't ready yet). In trying to get the best resolution
possible, I created gigantic files (this me bay quite long to upload (1+ • minute
on my machine). That should give you a good idea until somebody get a real
scan. Have nice dreams....

I was just about to forget the URL.
