I found all the EpII sets (except Republican Gunship) at my local Wally
World today.
I bought most of the sets. Here's a couple of interesting notes about a
couple of sets:
7103 Jedi Duel: Many nice parts in this set. An interesting bent light
saber hilt, many light blue pieces (including two castle shields with blank
fronts), the technic "ball" (found in the C3PO set) in black, and of course
the yoda mini-fig. He's very cool with printing on the front and back of
the torso. His head is made of a softer plastic, probably because the ears
stick out and would be rather sharp in the traditional plastic.
8012 Super Battle Droid: Also very interesting. Many of the parts are a
swirled kinda metallic blue. Up close it looks kind of ugly as you can see
the plastic flows in the part, but once assembled and from a distance it
looks cool. A couple of very cool things about this set is that the arms
and legs are "poseable" They use a version of the click hinge "elbows"
found in the new alpha teams sets, but since they are Technic, they are
assembled to create the joints. This makes for a very compact joint that
mecha guys are going to go nuts over. I'll post some pic.s of these parts
soon to Brickshelf.
Anyway, I'm real impressed with these sets and I highly recommend them, even
if you're not a fan of Star Wars.

| (...) I was in one WalMart super-duper-center this morning that had both the Yoda Sculpture (~$100) and the Republic Gunship (~$90 IIRC). They also had most of the other EPII sets and the Spider Man Studio set. No Green Goblin tho. But mostly, as (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.starwars)
