They still need to do a decent Cloud City. Bespin sets are seriously lacking unlike Hoth and Tattoine.

Cantina:
Old version 2004, £27.99, 193 peices
New version 2014, £64.99, 615 peices
B-Wing
Old version 2005, £24.99, 435 peices
New version 2014, £49.99, 448 peices
Star Destroyer
Old version 2006, £79.99, 1367 peices
New veersion 2014, £119.99, 1359 peices
AT-AT
Old version 2010, £91.99, 815 peices
New version 2014, £109.99, 1138 peices
Snowspeeder (last set to have a speeder on its own, no not wampa cave etc)
Old version 2004, £19.99, 214 peices
New version 2014, £34.99, 278 peices
Bit of a mixed bag on the value for money front i think, Star Destroyer is £40 more for less pieces, the B-Wing is double the price for very few additional pieces, the snowspeeder is £15 for 60 extra peices so could be ok. The Cantina does look like a good price and the AT-AT doesn't look too bad £20 more for over 300 extra pieces.

monkey_roo said:Ugly rumour surfacing that the upcoming Sandcrawler will by $350... given global pricing that could be £350 but more likely £299 if true. No word on part count, figures size etc.
I can take that price if we see something like a full purchase of droids scene with figures to match otherwise i hope this is just the rumour mill turning and we end up with a £199 price tag or less, something comparable with the Red 5 leaving the 'Fall' release of Slave 1 to be the big ticket item for the year.

monkey_roo said:Are these the droids we,re looking for... Well the droids within the sandcrawler. Word on 'the street' is this is the May 4th release - http://www.flickr.com/photos/96063791@N02/12851561125/
Not sure what street but given the set number in the bottom of the photo I would say this is the real deal, at £250 I am expecting more 'stuff' a small farmstead etc.
Personally I like the plate finish and more. Jawa's...UTINI...
