    The Bantha and Skyhopper set is pretty cute. Poe's X-Wing is cool and is a buy for me too, ditto with the Mustafar duel.

    That burger monster truck is beyond ridiculous so of course I'll have to pick it up. :lol

    If you can find a place in your collection for it, the UCS MF is the greatest set they've ever built. I built it with my kids and I will never forget how much fun we had. So many innovative building techniques.

    The new X-Wing engine intakes are PERFECT!!!! Finally they figured out a great way of doing it. However, they still haven't gotten the wings right which is disappointing.
    Mustafar Duel looks horrible, Starkiller Duel looked much better.
    Also, no Mandalorian Battle Pack?

    Those are some neat Star Wars sets.

    I think we are still missing one more Knight of Ren.

    It looks like they're still using rubber bands to hold the wings shut. I know that my current Resistance fighter has stretched the rubber bands more than they are built for. The wings will no longer close cleanly.

    I never display my X-Wings with the wings open in case that happens.

    Those SW sets look awful. That orange X-wing is ugly as hell, the TIE Dagger looks amateur, and everything else just looks downright bland or boring. The Mustafar duel especially looks like crap.

    That SC Ferrari also looks rough.

    I like the look of the X-wing, but I've got to agree that all the other Star Wars stuff looks pretty rough. The new TIE looks especially bad

    Is it sad that out of all the SW sets, the Bantha excites me the most?

    Aside from that, nothing's really jumping out at me. Sad that the Creator dragon looks so bad. The Mythical Creatures set looked loads better. I like how ridiculous the burger monster truck is, but it's not something I need.

    What really excites me about these new sets are that we are getting more knights of ren. Just bugs me a little that there is still one missing. Plus wasn't there suppose to be a new mandalorian battle pack?

    so i normally don't buy lego city sets...i usually stick to superheros, speed champions, and the occasional blind bag minifigures but i have got to have that monster truck burger van. that's ridiculous in every way and i just love it.

    Took me a while to get used to the new X-Wing colour scheme as well since the first Bandai model pics were released a few months ago, but I have to say it is growing on me.

    The new intakes are great, I'll probably upgrade my Force Awakens version in a similar way. The nose also looks great, it's probably the most accurate X-Wing nose we've gotten. I don't like the mechanism for the wings though, that was my least favourite part of 75218.

    Lots of leaks i gotta say city is underwhelming but i need the helicopers because i liked airjitzu (or however you spell it)

    star wars is cool i like the landspeeder the 4+ snowspeeder the sith trooper pack the sith fighter looks neat i want the mustafar duel i don't have a great Anakin or Obiwan yet

    creator looks good i need the hamburger monster truck and the dragon


    Marvel...*stares*...........WHAT THE **** whoever made these needs a kick in the head the ONLY thing good about these is the minifigures that's it ok the IM mech could pass as a light Hulkbuster I'm probably going to get them because i like the minifigures
