Hmm.. only sets that I find interesting are B-wing and Slave 1. B-wing for purely the big curves and those yellow greebles (and it is my favorite ship too) and Slave for click-hinges, cockpit, angle-parts and such.
Anyone can provide the prizes? I was them somewhere but I am too lazy to find out ^^

That guy takes horrible pictures. Maybe the sets are horrible (take another look at the belly of the slave)...

They're better pics than a lot, the main problem is the guy seems to have trouble centering the model in the frame.
The models? Meh. It'd be cooler if they were actually new sets, not lame redesigns. The cool thing is that the B-Wing comes with the stand...that was always the problem with the set, it couldn't stand up. The original's building was pretty cool though.
It's also cool that they've included a little tram with the A-Wing. Once again, I like the original X-Wing's tram better, but this one is passable. The actual A-Wing may be a better model, but it's just got those two big COW pieces...I really dislike those pieces when used on a small model.

Mmm, ISD-light. It'd almost be cool if it weren't so bley. Seriously though, while it may be a more affordable version of the real set, it still looks to be about the same.
Looking closely, it appears to use the same overall construction as 10030, and from the outside to be identical, just miniature. It even has the identical angle ratios, so far as I can tell. I wonder what's up with the missing front of the upperstructure...it looks like there's a couple figs in there. Also, if you look real close at the "opened" shot to the left, it seems as if it's a playset inside.
Quite honestly, it's just a miniature 10030, missing all the greebles and the impressive size. It will probably contain some new minifigs though. I'd hope it doesn't include the same magnet system...but perhaps it would be light enough that it wouldn't generate ISD-Droop.
Jabba's barge? It looks fairly nice, from the angle it's shown at. I only hope it's got some real construction, not all this total house-of-plates construction with nothing but off-colour supports and gaps between. The side picture shows it has some sort of interior...
I wonder if it comes with the skiff. It looks like a slightly updated version of a skiff. And the scarlacc...that could be cool.
Anyway, that's my breakdown. I also wanna know if the B-Wing stands in it's stand with the wings extended...that'd be way better for display.

Nothing that I will be buying at whole price. Maybe that Sail Barge on sale though. Has anyone seen any KK2: 3 sets yet?

These sets look pretty good. I want the B-Wing, Slave 1, and the Sailbarge, but A-wing is fairly OK though. But I'll definitely get the ISD, great supply of parts for my capital ship.

I have an A-wing and its pretty cool. I also has a V-wing. Iam pretty shure b-wing doesnt stand with its wings out and the pilot is SO UGLY i almost barfed  just kidding =] A-wing is nice i think its a bit bigger than original. V-wing, i dont really like cuz the wings dont fold like in battlefront2. |

Jabba's barge looks more interesting and attractive than I ever thought it could be.
I remember seeing a very well created MOC of it, but it was really boring. The actual ship itself is boring, too.
But the LEGO version makes me want buy it.

I totally agree with you there. While the Star Destroyer looks unappealing, and totally like a cheap knockoff of the real...the sailbarge has this fun look about it. It's actually another model I could see myself keep constructed as a display model. Of course, as with the V-Wing...maybe it will have flaws revealed. Who knows...but right now, it looks tasty.

It looks like I'd be the few who buy the ISD then.

I don't like the SD because it just looks bad, bley or not. It's not a good display piece, it doesn't look fun...
