It's 18/14/12 with a snare which I think makes it extra cool.

Where do they show the sizes and included hardware?

It does. The Saturn kits on Amazon come with hardware unless they say shell pack. Check the shipping weight... 130 pounds for a bop kit
 
So the kit arrived today, and I'm impressed. I expected some issues for the price -- thought maybe it was an open box return or something. But no, it was sealed and mint.

The batter heads appear to be genuine G2's as opposed to knock-offs, but the resos don't have any ink and must be generic. The edges are smooth as butter, and I didn't see any filler upon the first inspection. The 13" tom-mount is the older, RIMS-style version, which is what I wanted. I assumed that if the kit came with the older style mount then the shells must be older ones as well, before Gretsch started changing the inner plies. If not, then I'm still thrilled.

This has got to be the best deal I ever received. Thanks goes to heyjay for sharing this deal!

Nice! I should have pulled the trigger but I already have too many kits and not enough room.

That was the 24, 13 16, yes?
 
This probably isn't the target audience, but several ddrum kits are getting pretty low
 
Oh snap. I may be posting some USA Customs soon. Apologies for the angle, I'm on a phone.

I am of the opinion the build quality on the overseas Gretsch drums is noticeably improved and more consistent than what I've seen from US-made Gretsch.

I agree
 
I now have a USA and Renown at home (both 24, 16, 13). Both are impeccable, but at 1/3 the price (thanks Amazon!), and with the same die cast hoops, it's hard to argue the Renown price to value.

Just a heads up to everyone. I'm the North American Rep for Liberty Drums out of Shildon England. You all have seen Amazon deals come and go for Liberty drums off Amazon's website. We have decided to pull all our products from Amazon because of the problems associated with selling off Amazon. We all love Amazon as a buyer but to be a vendor is very difficult with no reasoning behind the way their business model works, so to make a long story short if you are a Liberty fan keep an eye out on Amazon for some good deals on our remaining products with Amazon. If you don't know who we are yet then this would be a great time to grab some remaining snares or a kit. Always hand built in England and built to be a drummers heirloom. If you are in Los Angeles check us out in Pro Drum Shop off Vine and by the years end we will be found on Sweetwaters website.

Thanks for the heads up, Dave. I play a 12"x7" Liberty snare I grabbed off Amazon with one of my kits. Beautiful instrument.
