So, what’s your take on this set?

I understand completely that figures and sets will be repainted to recoup costs. That said, Although this set looks decent, I’m not sure that there’s anything new in it. I, for one, would have much preferred a Checkpoint Alpha or something similar…but eh, I guess that’s where imagination comes into play.
