I haven't seen the pics myself, but that won't stop me from making some wild
guesses.
I can estimate the number of pieces for the B-Wing at about 190. This puts it
right between the Naboo Fighter at 174 and the Snowspeeder at 220. So unless
it comes in a set with another big model, I'd say that's our $19.99 classic
set.
Given the 7115 number for the Kaadus set, it's probably 50-60 pieces and $5.99
price. Note that still leaves 7112, 7113 and 7114 open. At 7144, the Slave 1
probably comes in at the $29.99 price level with 240-260 pieces. Again, 7142
and 7143 are still open.
Anyone care to guess at the Millenium Falcon's number? 7190?
Tatooine Skiff--could this be done with 80-90 pieces at $9.99?
A-Wing Fighter--I'd imaging this would be about the same size as the B-wing.
Maybe they're packaged together at $49.99? Or even better would be a TIE
fighter packaged with the A-Wing, it would be a pretty natural fit.
AAT--is this $29.99 material?
MTT--Done to halfway decent scale, this should be huge and expensive. If it
comes with enough battle droids, I'd pay $89.99 for it.
