V-19 Torrent is tragically $55:

What's going on here with the open cockpit?
http://photos.sirstevesguide.com/showphoto.php?photo=26656
http://photos.sirstevesguide.com/showphoto.php?photo=26655

Holy crap, I think the cockpit slides forward and then tilts down:
http://photos.sirstevesguide.com/showphoto.php?photo=26652
But why is there no back wall?

OHHH!

(because it's halfassed :p)

Still, I am gonna have to rip off that cockpit system, this is too clean:

Auto landing legs? http://photos.sirstevesguide.com/showphoto.php?photo=26653


AT-TE hasn't gone up in price? Still $90:

Some of the features are the same as the original I think.

[Battle Droid]

Do you know if there was any mention of the Homing Spider Droid set there?

[Jangu Fett]

Or any mention on what the "Twilight" set might be?

Again, slightly dissapointing. I was hoping to see the other summer sets, not thing we've all seen before, but they still do look great. I'm unsure about getting the V-19, IDK, it just looks off to me. Maybe it's the open cockpit?.?. It still looks loads better then Hasbros version.

[Jargo]

I dislike it all aside from the new Anakin and Obi-Wan hair pieces. i know some of these sets have clever builds, lots of new pieces. but they fail to excite me. however, new hair pieces for minifigs are always welcome.

[JediTricks]

No mention of any of that. It may just be exclusive though, they don't bring exclusives to TF since TF is about selling to all the retailers.

[Gooker1]

Great pics! thanks for taking them - what are the chances you scored the Lego exclusive? I'd love to see pics of that - and um, if you want someone to take it off your hands, let me know :)

[JediTricks]

Steve shot these, I unfortunately didn't make it. I believe the odds of him having gotten the exclusive are approximately 1 to 1, but it's a keeper. I'll remind him to get shots of it.
