I completely agree. They are plain ugly and utterly disappointing. And I
can't see any mechanical functions other than the stupid launching thing
in the hands of trooper. They don't have even the elegance/close
resemblance of the same series of sets of last year.

You might be correct about the others, but destroyer droid is not with
in the same class with them. Actually, DD has the most complex and
intuitive mechanisms I've ever seen in a technic set. And all with no
gears, no bricks. Being an old fashioned technic fan (I prefer technic
bricks to studless beams under any circumstances) I'm not comfortable
with the not-so-lego look of the newer sets, but I should admit that I
simply amazed with the destroyer droid set.
