Hi-res LEGO Star Wars #10198 Tantive IV pictures

Thanks to FBTB we now have a hi-res pictures of LEGO Star Wars #10198 Tantive IV. The good news is that, there are indeed minifigs coming with this set. However only 5 minifigs were included. Other than that, it seems like the part at the front are made from transparent brick and there is high possibilities that it is not sticker, as it seems like printed bricks to me. Below are the images:

LEGO Power Miners #8709 Underground Mining Station

The date for the release of for #8709 Underground Mining Station has drawn near and some lucky places even have them release earlier than the expected date. Anyway below are the shot of the box art, which is clearer:

Now that you can see this set contains 637 pieces, but it still looks so empty, maybe there are too much small pieces included in this set.

LEGO Star Wars #10198 Rebel Blockade Runner

Finally we have the pictures of the long-waited Rebel Blockade Runner.

Well, this time it looks better but I wonder how the fit in a transparent windscreen into that round piece. Still we are curious whether there will be minifigs included in this set or this is another mid-scale set like Millenium Falcon.
