I think the one at the NY Toy Fair is the preliminary version. There's several other sets that they're showing off that are preliminary.

I see. Good news!

Sometime late in the year.

Well they weren't displayed at Toy Fair . . .

I'm hoping that these sets will be released January 2006, and Lego will have lots of time to improve them before then. They could also add beards :-D

There's also a very small car: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery....y.cgi?i=1112384

I'm guessing that's the preliminary design. The City gallery shows that old preliminary Crane Truck instead of the proper one.

I think it's a prize for Celebration III.

Mutley, FBTB has a side pic of it: http://www.fbtb.net/toyfair/2005/sw/ds_1_m.jpg

I don't think this is quite as bad as people are saying. The dinosaurs suck, but the vehicles (except for the tank) are really good I think. They're huge, and there are actually some quite nice details in them. Lots of weapons :-D

I don't know. Hopefully they'll be next year, and better.

Here's a couple more pics of Grievous from Rebelscum's coverage: He's got cool printing on his cape!

It's very cool. Plus you get a MINI Super Star Destroyer!

You can just about make out the red markings on the box, just above the black line.

Observations: - The Anakin fig with blood and scars looks cool - Grievous rocks :-D - The Republic Tank opens up (see the box pic) - All 3 Wookiee Warriors (one in the catamaran, two in Wookiee Attack) all look exactly the same to me, although they do look really cool - The Catamaran drops bombs These pictures get me really excited about these sets, the other pictures just don't do them justice.

Oops, I forgot to add the link :$ http://67.15.129.26/ssg/showgallery.php?ca...=1&perpage=12&= Here's a great picture of Grievous (he looks awesome!): http://67.15.129.26/ssg/showphoto.php?phot...&cat=506&page=8

Here's a HUGE Episode III gallery from Toy Fair. Some of it is unfinished unfinished, but it really gives you a great look at the sets, and the figs like Grievous.

Well this is the first time I've doubted a Lego set ;) Usually I'm one of the people who gets annoyed at other people thinking sets are fake. It probably is real though, especially coming from Mr X.

The red one is the one sitting in the Clone Scout Walker.

That's what I was thinking. It seems most likely that the reason it was taken off the website is because of the spelling mistake.

So no one else finds it strange that "success" is spelt wrong? *wacko*

Or most likely tomorrow morning for us Europeans :'(

Well apparently FBTB will have pics up by tonight.

So we won't see that plane then? No, we won't get the plane. It's annoying. FBTB is supposed to be putting pics up by this evening, so that means we might not get them until tomorrow over here :'(
