The 501st blue color patterns are printed on his helmet, torso, arms, and legs. A regular blaster is equipped to him.
  • Commando Droid Captain (new) - Only captain rank marker that printed on his head that make him classified as a new minifigure, while the rest parts are actually the same as last year's regular Commando Droid minifigure. He comes with a regular blaster.
Features
Sniper Droideka - This variant of Droideka is cool. I believe it comes with more pieces than the regular one from 75000 Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas. It equipped with a sniper muzzle in the middle body.

501st AT-RT - The AT-RT got some blue color pieces which is well known as the primary 501st color patterns. It seems pretty well designed but I think it is over sized for the minifigure. It comes with front blaster cannon and one driver seat.

LEGO® Star Wars™ 75000 Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas

Features
Droidekas - The Droidekas are slightly different with its predecessor from 7877 Naboo Starfighter. The difference lies in the upper body which is simpler and more compact. This kind of Droideka is officially named as W-series Droideka.

Mobile Command Station - Its maybe incorrect but after watching the shape, I predict that this thing is more like a Mobile Command Station or officially named as Forward Command Center (FCC). It also can be used as a defend post just like the representation on the box.

Finally, a photo of the exclusive LEGO® Star Wars™ set for 2012 New York Comic Con has revealed on the event's Instagram account. According to the LEGO® System Inc. on the event's site this set called Luke Skywalker's Mini Landspeeder.
