Imho that AT-HE always looked way to random for me, like it was designed just to have a middle between a AT-TE and an AT-AT.

30% at least. Probably more.

This is basically 1:1 my opinion. Also, who decided what to use as Brooklynns hair?

Probably for those darn Galactic Marines.

Unfortunatly the net-catapult doesn't really work how it is supposed to. And sometimes the sliding plate even manages to rip the cabin loose.

I think it is a missed opportunity to change the trunk to one with "lips", aka a clip. Also I think its tail and ears being possable would give it a much creater range of poses.

My complaint would be about the dozen of new Aliens and Monsters Super Heroes and Star Wars get for some minor C-Rate characters. What I just noticed while studying the elephants and why the didn't look really good, was how bland the sets (except the 4+) seem when it comes to accesoires. Of course there are lots of bananas, but nothing really interesting.

I think I like the new monkey. The old one was creepy. But what I am missing is the baby-monkey from the CMF.

I think your changes would be a good start, but I would further: 60302: Get rid of the street plates, instead add another tree or more foliage pieces 60307: Replace the tracked vehicle with a half-track so it isn't that darn stubby.

I am with you too. Jungle just looked so much better. The vehicles are just lame. If we do not count the 4+ set we have: The standard City ATV The standard City helicopter A way to stubby tracked vehicle An Unimog, that would be interesting if it weren't for the boxiest of boxes on its back. The ultra light plane actually looks nice to be fair. What I think is weird is the ammount of "base plate" there is. Basically all the sets have way to much plates directly on the ground for what actually is built on them. Especially the elefant set, which looks like more than half of it is just plates.

Nice list. I especially like accurately sized AT-RTs. But unfortunatley the seem to get bigger and bigger. I wonder when the first one becomes largen than a AT-ST should be.

Still want that: Separatist Tri Droid(60€) -Ki-Adi-Mundi and his Galactic Marines are ready to fight the terrifying Tri-Droid. -Let the Droid march into the battle with his three adjustable legs and fire his spring loaded launchers. -Contains Ki-Adi-Mundi, 2 Galactic Marines, 2 B1-Battledroids and 2 B2-Superbattledroids. -Tri-Droids stands over 30cm high and spans near 40cm Or updated: Separatist Tri Droid(70€) -Fight the last Battle of The Clone Wars. -Let the Droid march into the battle with his three adjustable legs and fire his shooters.(I think those things can be a better fit than spring laoded shooters) -Contains Captain Rex (Jet Pack), 2 501st Rocket Troopers, Separatist Tactical Droid, 2 Battledroids -Tri-Droids stands over 30cm high and spans near 40cm

Super

I imagine, that it is indeed that cheaper more "impulse buy sets" will more likely get a good figure as there USP. Imainge the AAT without Ahsoka. That single minifigure makes the set 10€ more expensive at reseller-customer level (to differentiate between a 10€ figure at aftermarket prices). Without it it would be a boring subpar build. And many other smaller sets also heavily base on minifigures. Large sets on the other hand can't really be saved by a single good or unique minifigure (except for a very small collectors market)

Besides being expensive and replacing the old plates people have collected my main problem with those new streets is why they are so narrow? City cars get bigger and bigger, yet the streets get smaller? To be fair i also do not care for city.
