Marz Distribution has already answered that question:
Unfortunately, it appears that they have been forced (or maybe they didn't

Anyway, the sets are:
Mini Falcon
Mini AT-AT
Mini MTT
Mini Repulbic Gunship
Buy all four and you have the pieces for a Mini Y-Wing fighter.
All of the models look sweet.
