Brickset.com has posted the first images of 2016 Star Wars sets and minifigures. The images come from an insert in the recently revealed 30605 Finn (FN-2187) polybag. Eight sets appear on the insert. The first four sets are battle packs. 75135 is Obi-Wan's Jedi Interceptor, which is very reminiscent of 9494 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor.
75136 will be the third iteration of the Droid Escape, following 7106 and 9490. I would expect values on those two sets to even out and show no other growth when this set premieres. Although each set is slightly different, "new" and "on-the-shelf" will eat into the market. Although the "dirty Sandtroopers" that appear in 9490 are still unique to that set.
The final two sets are from The Empire Strikes Back. The most anticipated is 75137 Carbon Freezing Chamber. The Ugnaught minifigure has long been desired. Small in size, I would expect this set to do well after retirement. Boba Fett appears to be the same as 75060 UCS Slave-1, which may have some impact on the sales of that particular minifigure.
A photo of all the minifigs appears on the back of the flier.
