Ok I for one am sick of huge sets I can get 3 regular size packs for the price of 2 huge packs. I would be ok with it if the huges they made were actually useful and not your TIE Crawler, Telos Tank Droid, Junk Golem figs. I mean seriously!! I want no more huge sets!! Ok rant over.
You know what's funny here....the 3 you mentioned are probably some of the most playable of all the Huges (except for maybe the Golan Turret and the Tank Cart). The TIE Crawler is a pretty decent piece, IMO. DR10, with Penetration 10 and Twin....pretty sweet. I used one in a sealed event and landed 3rd place with it (AND the AT-ST incidentally, as my rares were Leia and Wedge). The Junk Golem is quite good in the right situations, and both the Golem and the Telosian Droid can be GREAT in squads with a BDO.
Sure, I'm not terribly happy about the difference in prices, but IMO, all of the huges in this set (with the exception of the AT-ST and the Spider) impress me, and are at least as playable, if not more so, than anything we have so far. Honestly...did you ever play a Snowspeeder before? I can definitely see myself playing the new Luke's Snowspeeder. Same with comparing some of the Separatist huges with the new Telosian. And I think everyone is pretty much in agreement that the Golan and the Troop Cart have some nice uses.
I think if you really take some time to look at everything closely, and spend some time playing with the pieces, you find they aren't quite as bad as you may think.

The Knobby White Spider is why I stopped buying after my second case. I didn't even play in the release event at my LGS, opting to judge instead. I never want to open a booster with a Knobby White Spider or a Junk Golem EVER AGAIN.
Well, that or the Amanin Scout.
That is so wierd. I did pull like 4 or 5 Spiders total over the weekend (3 cases, 4 boosters for 2 release events, plus 1 prize booster, so 23 boosters total). But I only pulled 1 (yeah...ONE) Junk Golem. I also pulled Luke's Snowspeeder, 4 Uggernauts, and at least 2 (maybe 3) AT-STs. I actually ended up trading the 4th Uggernaut for somebody else's extra Junk Golem just so I could have two of them.
Oh, and I only pulled 2 Amanin Scouts and 1 Emperor's Shadow Guard as well. Had to trade to get the other 4 Shadow Guards I picked up.
The case distributions seem to be really odd with this set. I haven't been too frustrated with my overall Huge pulls, but pulling 3 of the same R/VR in the first 2 cases was quite irritating.
