So far good tie in with the upcomming RPG book Jedi Academy Training Manual which comes out on May 19 2009.

That's Darth Revan on the side right?

Alien Jedi welcome!

While Revan has been suggested, I hope not. After all the last sets repeats, another Revan (to make a second one) to me would be really annoying. I mean we are already getting another Yoda, another Luke I want new figures, Alien Jedi, Alien anything. I think i might actually be starting to be getting sick of some of the repeats. With the 40 mini sets it's a huge bite out of them, depending on what comes out of this set may start to sway my thoughts on purchases.

I totally hear what u'r saying, but they won't quit doing it.

Buy singles!

If this set is 60% Reproductions like the last one was, I very well may.

can anyone read the text under each of the mins on the side of the booster?

There is a thread (no link as site is down for maintenance now) where people are spending countless hours and posts, and photoshop exercises on trying to figure things like that out, as of now there is nothing really to say. It's a crappy picture, crappy angle. It's just two months away, heck I haven't even finsihed sorting I&E to start worrying about this, I just got the last figure from it a week ago!

I still have some of my order in the mail...

So 5 known figures
Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn, Darth Maul, the Dark Woman (An'ya Kuro), Cade Skywalker,

Source(s)?

Thanks! You're the man.

And we have Box Art!




It's Yoda, which we have seen before, but the other side of the box.
Right Side
Kol Skywalker
Death Watch "solider?"
Left Side
Some Mando
?
Back Side
"Praetoriate" Vong Priest




Front Side
Looks like Naga Sadow
Right Side
Darth Sid, Sith Master
Vodo-Siosk Baas looks like lower one
Those are two Old School Dark Horse Comics Old Republic Era Characters.
Back Side
Felucian (from the Force Unleashed)



Front Side
Likely Jana or a Republic Jedi I don't recongize. I don't see them putting no names on Box art so likely Jana
Right Side
Upper is Kyle Katarn "Combat Instructor"?
Lower likely a Vong "Something Somthing"
Back Side
Jedi Battle Master



So Known Figures
Old Republic
Vodo-Siosk Baas

Sith
Naga Sadow
Darth Sid, Sith Master

Republic
Yoda
The Dark Lady
Qui-Gon Jinn

New Republic
Luke Skywalker, Jedi Grand Master
Kyle Katarn Something Something
Jania?
Cade Skywalker


Vong
"Praetoriate" Vong Priest
Yuzzhan Vong Something Something

Fringe
Felucian

Madalorians
Death Watch Something

Looks like the OR and Sith are getting some love, with that the other figures. There are likely Mandos from that era as well, and others. Since it has been 2 full sets since any Mando, or Vong, I suspect we will be getting a number of both in this set, likely 2-3 each, A bunch of say 5-6 Old Rep and Sith to make about 18 figs and about 1/2 the set, the rest scattered in Fringe, and Republic, with maybe a few Septs.

Could this be Leia?

Nice find!

It could be Leia, and it does look a bit like her, I think it is Jania for a few reasons.
Leia almost never wears Jedi Robes, and the figure looks to young to be Leia in Jedi Robes, by the time she's trained she's older, (and we already gots a "leia Jedi") while Jania does wear Jedi robes, and while it does look a bit like Leia, Jania should look like her mom a bit. Also there has been only 1 Jania fig so far, and we have already gotten 2 of her brother, this would be the nice complement of Evil Jacen.
