If you can tell us whether the clear bricks under Watto in the catalogue photos
(to make him fly) are actually in the set, or were just not blocked out of the
photo, that would be cool.

That and more my friends.

pawing through this new stuff!

AT-ST
comments: no mysterious pilot- just Chewie, mounted a canopy exteneion
upright so a minifig fits inside, 'knees' are a dark grey square clip-on
sign as was speculated, grey lightsaber handles - cool for guns!

comments: blank black head on the guards cuz the helmet visor is open like
Boba Fett, pilot has nice Imperial looking uniform, no new grey color (I

JUNKYARD
comments: unless you're into podracers this will be another parts pack to
get at discount, Watto is pretty cool - color is like light Belville blue I
think, Aldar Beedo looks a little better than Gasgano cuz he at least looks
like a complete figure of something but otherwise it's disappointingly solid
in the same way, one postless clear 1x2 brick included (to make Watto hover)
