Look closer - the feet are 1x2 click plates. The arms look like 1x2
versions of the current 1x4s with click ends.
Main ship - large white arch bricks, should make some people happy.

Not to mention they look about the same size as the tubes on the base set,
so you could set up an HVAC system for a town building ;-)

They sure are! YEEEHAW, rounded end bricks in verdigris! Now why didn't
they use THOSE in the Statue of Liberty?
NOTE - 7310 - looks like a WHITE Star Wars engine - time to make some cool
white jets ;-)

Yep, 1x2 slopes and 2x2 radar dishes.

Nope - RockRaider style wheels, standard Technic corrugated tubing.

Oh MAN is that 2x2x2 inverted pyramid going to be cool for details on
columns! (Now if they'd just come out with a 2x2 tile with center stud -
though a 2x2 Technic tile with center peg would probably fit).

Yeah, now hopefully they'll bring out Stormtroopers in a minifig pack!

That's a train nose - see 4561. Hopefully the grey is stickers (though if
not, it would still work well for a grey train).

Can't wait to see how they managed that! Fantasy people will have a field
day with that torso!

Looks like it. At least it looks like there are few to no Town Jr parts.

TELL me about it! I'll be buying a LOT for those cylinder parts.
And it looks like FOUR 2x2 inverse corners! Can't tell if they are white
or light grey, but I'd want them either way.
