And... the info has now been pulled from Brickset.

Surprising that they might go for a UCS B-wing before an A-wing, as I think the A-wing may be slightly more iconic.

Hasbro just released an action figure B-Wing (at least I think it was just released, my friend is the one that collects those), so I wonder if that played a factor in which ship they chose.

As for the Kingdoms Joust, I'm guessing it's going to be a large, detailed jousting arena.

[Joedward]

The B-wing is probably my all time favourite fighter/ship from Star Wars. I really hope they make it, and more than that I really hope they make it well, and do the ship justice.

R2 and the Sopwith also sound pretty interesting. Can't wait to see what they make of them.

[Robzula]

I hope that the re-release of the Sopwith camel means that they'll also do the Red Baron's Fokker Triplane and the Wright Flyer since I missed out on those two.

While Star Wars Lego sucked me in, I'm most interested in the Joust set too. If it ends up being like Medieval Village... omg.

Man these UCS all sounds great and maybe some won't be but I only say that cause at the rate I'm playing catch up with some of the sets and all the new stuff it's sending me to the poor house.

[onions]

did anyone see any prices attached to the sets when it was live?

[Knobby Plastic]

The B-Wing and the Sopwith Camel are the two I'm most excited about. I'm curious as to how they'll do R2-D2.

[mrfootball]

I'll probably take the B-wing and the Sopwith sight unseen! Very excited about these releases. Joust and City Hall sound interesting as well.

[banthafodder]

The B-wing was always my favorite even in the old x-wing/ tie fighter game. This one will be mine. With some of the random minifigs coming in some of the new sets I wonder which may be included, perhaps Salacious Crumb?
The Sopwith Camel also sounds interesting, can't wait to see it. I will also definitely be getting that town hall set.

[fallenangel327]

Why the expectation of minifigures? Unless this B-wing is scaled to minifigures, we're unlikely to get any with this set. The B-wing may be a large ship, but I don't think it's large enough to justify a 10XXX number unless it was larger than minifigure scale.
