That Clone Shuttle is definitely pretty damned cool.  I could see something like that fitting into an assortment with the Republic Gunship.  Somewhat scaled down, though.  And considering that Hasbro has confirmed that the Gunship would be coming back into circulation, it could make that shuttle a possibility

Hmmm.  So this is $55 huh?  IIRC the TRU exclusive TIE was $39.99.  Both include pilots.  I wonder if given the extra price we might also get some kind of a hyperdrive pack and/or astromech.  That's what the product description mentions, and I read those issues of EMPIRE with the storyline that this TIE is derived from.  That, plus Hobbie had a blaster rifle that he was using to snipe TIE fighters after ejecting from his TIE.

I didn't follow the comics, but was Biggs' face able to be seen through the helmet like that? I think in the Legacy comics, the TIE Predator pilots have more of an open face design. Maybe this tooling will be used down the road for those.

The clear faceplate shows up in those comics as well as DK's THE COMPLETE CROSS SECTIONS.  The TIE Bomber pilot has the clear faceplate in that artwork.

Pretty cool selections for the Clones.  It's nice to see that ARC Pilot from the space whale Gunship get made.  And the ROTS Pilot with removable helmet is very welcome, too.  Biggs is just gravy to me.

I'd definitely be into getting a second Imperial Pilots set.  Maybe a V-Wing pilot, black squadron pilot w/ helmet markings and maybe Han Solo as an Imperial Pilot.

Nothing like the "shotgun" approach of guessing the next vehicles to get released...   with a list that big at least one thing has to be right. 

I could see them breaking down and finally doing some a few new playsets if they are tied into the CW stuff somehow...  something called "Forward Base Alpha" screams Clone Wars to me (something like that little Clone Base Yoda is at on Geonosis in AotC).

That's exactly my thought Jeff.

If would go well in an Ultra Battlepack...

I tend to agree with this idea.  And I think there's an Ultra Battle Pack in the works, as there's that Target DPCI listing for an ultra battle pack.

Very glad to see Palpatine on this particular list.  There are at least 3 versions of Palpatine from ROTS that could be viable contenders.  But hopefully we're looking at a Senate Duel version.

The E-Wing seems like a bit of a stretch.  Sure, we're getting R7 units now (but only as build a figures), but the likelihood of an EU vehicle that would cost at least $20?  Come on.

Very interesting.  I hope this is close to the mark.
