Looks like cool new parts for '01:
http://collectibles.echostation.com/fbtb/2/sys09.jpg
7315? "landing pads/feet" for small pod just below the main ship. They
look more complex than a simple 1x2 plate, and they don't appear to be
click-hinge plates. The arms may be new parts, too. Is that a 1x2 brick
with 2 technic pins?
7313 two 2x4x3 "fan" bricks? These should work great for VTOL aircraft.
Cool-looking windshield piece, nice and sleek. looks like it might be a
smoky trans-gray. The 4x4 round part in the top left may be the same as
the part in Sebulba's Pod Racer with a 2x2 plate attachment on the
hidden side.
7311 two 3x6 wing plates in the new "verdigris" green color. Might be
two 1x1x1.3 brick w/rounded top and 1x1 side plate in that same color.
New green parts are also apparent in the small walker that comes with
the 7317 base.

7312 new flexible hose pieces and wheels?
7316 new grabbing claw part, may have rubber-band powered spring loaded
action (compare claws on bottom and top of this model). 2x2x2
inverted-pyramid brick just to right of the cockpit. I really like that
new cockpit piece.

7146 SW wings in black. Stormtrooper and TIE Pilot!! Still armed with
goofy-looking gun, but what the heck, we finally have a Stormtrooper!!
7166 Nice-looking angled cockpit piece. I can already think of many
uses for this part in my own models. Imperial Guards. Why does the
Emperor have 4 hands? "Through the Force, many things are possible.
Extra hands you can grow. Umm?"

7127 Ack! Looks horrible, but a cheap source for Wookies. Are those
non-chromed lightsabre handles used for the "nose" guns?
7186 Looks good for green parts and a big 8x8 round plate not seen for
a few years.
7106 8x8 cylinder? Gimme!

1353/1355 A clearer shot of the new part used for the landing feet in
7315. Looks like a 1x2 click hinge plate with a new
click-hinge/cross-axle piece. In 1353 it looks like this piece will
come in male and female varieties, and has full click-hinge support for
this joint. This piece is just begging to be used in many new Mecha
MOCs.
1352 "T" handle in dynamite detonator. Is this an old pneumatic
T-connector? Looks like it might be hollow. Cool scaffolding.
Dreaming of new parts...

| (...) I think the "feet" are the 1x2 plate with click-hinge like in the B-Wing set (you get tan ones with that). I think the "legs" are new parts that interface with the click-hinges. (...) Yeah, those fans look kind of fun (...) The hoses look (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)
