They work...that is, they direct to the URLs on the LEGO image server where images of 70704 should eventually reside. They're just not posted yet for some reason.

Looks like some higher-res images are starting to show up on LEGO's image server. 70700 http://cache.lego.com/r/dynamic/is/image/LEGO/70700_alt1?$large$" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://cache.lego.com/r/dynamic/is/image/LEGO/70700_alt2?$large$" onclick="windo...

Personally, I'm a little bummed that the "blue" team seems to be more azure. I was really hoping to get that helmet in true blue. But, all in all, I'm pretty happy with what I see. This theme will definitely earn some of my money.

Thanks for the update, Vyn. With any luck, this theme will last a wave or two beyond the first and we'll see team leaders for yellow, black and white. I can't say I'm too thrilled about the Alpha-Team/Ninjago-like approach to make the characters anything other than nameless space adventurers (sounds...

Thanks to ufjason over at FBTB for this image (in spite of its quality):

For each of the past few years it seems like LEGO has had at least one "one and done" (sometimes one and a half) theme that didn't fit into the town/castle/space categories.

2005 Dino Attack

2008 - Agents
2009 - Power Miners
2010 - Atlantis
2011 - Pharaoh's Quest
2012 - Dino

This image (original photo by Mark Stafford) was in BrickJournal 17 along with a bunch of behind-the-scenes design-phase info about the Alien Conquest theme.
