The only POOPs in the pictures I've seen are the "Podracer(tm) engines".
(Well, I guess there aren't too many other uses for the canopy. ;-)
I see lots of rounded bricks in previously-unavailable colors, a couple of
the giant skinny slopes used to make icebergs in the Arctic sets (which,
granted, are of limited use if you're not planning to build a Great White
Whale or a Gothic cathedral), and a whole bunch of ordinary bricks,
slopes, plates, and wings.
It does look like they may have fudged a bit with "oversized" 1xN bricks in
the vertical fin, but trying to do that with regular-sized ones would have
detracted from the playability of a vehicle that kids are expected to hold
onto and zoom around the room.
Assuming it's in the same $/piece range as the other SW vehicles, it'll
probably make a nice parts fodder set when it goes on sale, and also a
good set for kids (there should be quite a few alternate model
possibilities in those parts).
