Yeah, Inquisitors are probably not included there. Still, probably the most mysterious set announced so far, build and mini-figs wise. I just wish the inquisitors are not randomly included in Rex's AT-TE ( I hate this vehicle ).

Lego's version of DLC I can hardly imagine 100$ US worth of lego including only the Tie Advanced and a small build, it has to be a pretty huge set.

I still have hopes for an add-on set complimentary to the 2014 cantina, centered around the villains ( Wuher and Ponda Baba are mandatory ) and maybe the Kubaz spy. Lego still has to make a set about the Tusken Raiders encounter and that 3D Bantha that showed up in one of the Skyhopper promo video can't be a coincidence. I also share your feelings about this wave's mini-figs selection, but most of the builds are problematic ( plethora of stickers for the droid escape, carbon freezing chamber is meh (except if it can be attached to a future bespin set).

Maybe it contains a small build like you mentionned and is mini-figs heavy? It was rumored not too long ago that both the new Inquisitors ( Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister ) would make an appearance, which would also justify Ashoka's presence in this set. Or maybe it's horribly over-priced like 75096. Thinking of it, a set containning both new Inquisitors, Vader, Ahsoka and probably throw in a A-wing pilot in there would rank the exclusive mini-figs bar through the roof.

As far as mini-figs goes, this is a good set if you skipped the UCS Slave 1 ( even if Boba-Fett isn't as detailed in this set, it's still a pretty good mini-fig ). The Ugnaught is a nice little exclusive addition to this set and can never get too many Hans The biggest flaw in this set is obiously the build; the play features are awkward and not really that accurate to the source material. However, the stairs of this set can be detached, and attached on the upper platform, which leads me to think that maybe ( In my dreams probably ) that lego could release a bigger Bespin set to which you could attach this model to. Overall, get it if you skipped the UCS Slave 1 and you like the mini-figs, but I'm having a hard time seeing the value with the build itself. But that's only my opinion :P Hope this helps!

That pricing must an an error from Target: It's very unusual for new Lego sets (especially Star Wars) to offer an inferior price than the official one. And about the only downside of shopping at S@H is the shipping time and availability of some sets. Otherwise, the double VIP points events can really remove some burden of the cost. But back into the topic, the new Tie Advanced (prototype???) and A-Wing set has me really excited, both for the models and mini-figs. My only concern was that Vader's Tie Advanced would be very similar to the Prototype we did get in 2015, but after a closer inspection Vader's ship seems to be a fully fledged and proper Tie Advanced unlike the ones Inquisitors have, which will please OT fans as much as Rebels ones ( I hope ). The A-wing could also be interesting , we did see 2 colors applied to this ship in the show ( green and blue ) but the design isn't that different from the OT (bigger side guns and angled back fins maybe ). This set is the one most standing out for me, for the moment...
