All I can say is

BTW, what on God's good earth is the... Thing in this picture?

I have enough trouble with the standardized SW universe, but these are more sets from the expanded universe of fiction, right?

Clone Wars, I think, hence the goofy, cartoony looks of the figs...

Oh, and for the Magna guards, I would have much preferred a regular minifig head like in the video game, not something that looks like they tore off a Hasboro figure and stuck it on the fig.

That's apparently Jabba the Hutt's son or nephew.

You can see some hi-res versions of all of these pics linked to on this page.

Is that a guess or for real? If it is really one of Jabba's relatives, what's he doing hanging out with the clones and Jedi?

I could go for some of those hard pauldrons and clone helmets. Those are some parts I've been secretly hoping for!

Those new clones look pretty cool. I'm not quite sure what to say about the Jabba/Yoda thing, but it could be useful. The magna guards are odd. They seem to have their head and cloak as one piece which doesn't seem very fuctional, but sometimes you just have to keep Star Wars figs as they are.

i think the figs, besides the clone troopers, are way too goofy looking for me. So I'm not really a fan of figs but the ships looked pretty sweet. And the whole toy fair looked pretty sweet too.

I'm a little bummed about Plo Koon, his head is toos kinny, and he looks like a Megablack. Oni-Wan's hair is to short for my liking. But I guess I'll get them for the sweet looking clones.

Ugh... only the vehicles/ships look useful

. Everything else is... terrible. The Gen. Grievous bodyguards look horrible (staffs and everything). The jedi make me want to throw up my lunch... a HUGE disappointment for me. The fair itself looks pretty cool though.
