I think those are prototype pictures.  The giveaway is the Destroyer • Droid.
We have all seen what it is going to look like, however the recent picture • at
Outerrim of the Destroyer Droid is VERY VERY different from the confirmed
looking set.  The Outerrim pic has lots more brown, no shield generators, • no
hoses, different head, different upper torso, different leg construction,
etc...  The confirmed pic which shows 8000-8002 on the same page looks • much
fuller and more robust. I an going with the prayer that those are • prototype
pics and are subject to change.\

Agreed. All 3 of the droids shown here are completely different to the final
versions.


The ATT, MTT and MT look 'dodgy' and are all scheduled for July release.
Given the very tight timescales from design to production that TLG now
follow, it wouldn't surprise me if, 9 months before release (as we are now)
they have not even been finalised yet.

I suspect you in the US can look forward to a post-Thanksgiving release for
the sets earmarked for January!
