There are a lot of great images--the alternate models show some of the
pieces (like the TIE wing-holder) a lot better than the catalog pics.
Plus, we get to see all of the figs.
There's even a classic smiley-face fig! :)
And the rebel tech torso will be very useful.
The more I see of these sets, the more I like them, as a general fan of
LEGO. There are a lot of new pieces, but they are all (well, except
maybe R2's face) generally useful. Even the TIE wing-holder is a
generalized part.
The big problem, I think, will be non-legoheads who buy the Star Wars
sets, realize LEGOs are really cool, and then look at the current System
sets. They'll be really turned off.
I'd love to be able to say "Come in for the Star Wars, but stay for the
LEGO." Unfortunately, I don't think that's currently true.
