Double posting is perfectly fine if your last post was 3 days ago. Editing your post wouldn't bring the topic back to the top, so if you've got something you want to add, you should post it.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing some blue STAPs in the trailer for the new Clone Wars series. Anakin was jumping between them and taking them down.

I actually quite like the Tumbler. It's a very hrd shape to get right at System scale and I think /lego did a great job. The Penguin set is alright, but nothing special.

Pretty much all the sets are available on S@H in Europe now. The only ones that aren't are the Indiana Jone sets, but I'm sure they'll be up soon. http://shop.lego.com/WhatsNew/

I really don't think there's a motor in the set. If it was it would be called "Motorized AT-TE". And I don't see how the legs are more technical, they're still built mainly out of system pieces. I reackon the legs on this model are way better than the legs on the last one.

Thanks for the pics! You can tell they're still preliminary, but they look promising, especially the AT-TE. The Magnaguard Starfighter appears to be a P-38 starfighter.

If you click on the individual sets they say "This product will be in stock on Friday 01 August, 2008."

Neither, I think. It's a new non-license line, probably in the style of James Bond.

Perhaps the rumoured numbers go with these rumoured names: Batman's Buggy: The Escape of Mr. Freeze

whung's post in this thread gives us a bit more news, but also confuses things a bit. The full set list we have so far now consists of: 7673 Magna Droid Fighter 7674 V-19 Torrent, 7675 AT-TE 7676 Republic Gunship 7678 Tie Defender or 7678 Droid Gunship 7679 Fighter Tank TX 130S 7680 Twilight 7681 Homing Spider Droid

Interesting news, whung! It appears that 7678 Tie Defender is replaced here by 7678 - Droid Gunship. Also note the edition of two TRU exclusives, 7680 Twilight and 7681 Homing Spider Droid. The 'Agents' line sounds interesting, too.

Racer X comes in this set as well:

Legomilk brings a fantastic Christmas present - hi-res Indiana Jones 4 set pics! Discuss them here. Also check out some hi-res Speed Racer pics here (thanks Legomilk) and some Castle pics here (thanks Piranha).

Remember, the prices are "at current market rate compared to my Australian price list", so they're not completely accurate.

I was hoping it would be

Were these the only 2008 sets they had? Hopefully they'll have some more by Christmas.

That's an alternate model from the Bikini Bottom set.

I saw one of these 2008 sets has been confirmed on toywiz.com: http://www.toywiz.com/lego7884.html 7784 Batman's Buggy: The Escape of Mr. Freeze $12.99

I reckon that all the sets you listed will be Clone War sets. I remember xwingyoda found out that there will be 8 Clone Wars sets in 2008, so 7669 Anakin's JSF plus the 7 you listed there sounds right. Remember, this is the new CGI Clone Wars series, so even if the vehicles didn't appear in the cartoon, they could still be in the new series.

No :-P But seriously, why would an online shop put up fake pics? They put up real Speed Racer pics, so we can assume these are real too.

Remember - these are preliminary. The tent will probably be cloth in the final set. I can't really comment on the sets at all, to be honest. They look very preliminary.
