Having just gotten back from the Waukesha Wallyworld.. with 2 Droid Escape Pods, 1
Movie Set, the Dino attack one.. and the Tie (which I don't get till my b-day :(
on the 20th) the Pod set has some great parts!! Tiles, and plates and I think
c3po's head is kinda cool... how many people wish they'd make more heads that way??
I had to check immediately if it was removeable.. and it is!  I found no Watto's
Junkyards or shuttles though :( I saw the ATST... though that's going to have to
wait till after christmas sales..  Also anyone that spots the small soccer set 3413
let me know I'd like to get a couple of those.

The movie sets got some cool parts too! White 1x2 inverted slopes, 4 Green 2x2
Extreme slopes, Lots of green bricks and a couple of longer grey ones.
All in all, not a lot of sets, though I liked what I've gotten so far!
