I agree, the shots on Outer Rim are PROTOTYPES.  Sets are missing
printed pieces that the rebelscum shots (from a final catalog/manuals)
have, the technic are in different colors, missing specialized pieces
and rubber bands.  I think the Falcon pictured is OK, but this gives
hope for something much better!

Obviously the Outer Rim doesn't know everything about the Lego sets as they
label the Tie Fighter and X-Wing as 'Technic' when it's pretty obvious that
the sets are for the Model Team line.
