I went by mine last weekend fearing the same thing, but was able to get one held for me!

I'm actually excited to play a Thief Rogue!
With 1 level of a caster class, you'd get access to their scrolls (and can create cantrip/lv1 scrolls on your own, to feed to your bonus action habit). Though, as using higher-levelled scrolls than you can cast is at best a 50/50 roll (d20+casting stat vs DC 10+scroll level), it's best if your character concept incorporates rampant wastefulness and high-maintenance lifestyle as a core part of your identity.
I like how the Thief is just adaptable - you could be the support caster of the party if there are no other casters present, and that level of a caster could be Wizard for the widest selection (and True Strike + Readied True Strike shenanigans), or Cleric if there already is a Wizard in the party (no-one would object to you crafting Blesses on demand)... or even a level in both to cover all the bases! And if someone else happens to grapple/Entangle a target, then you can decide to save on resources and just slip a rope/manacles on them.

My hype has largely died down. Most of my remaining excitement is for actually getting to play games with these rules, more than anything else. That and finally seeing all the art within the context. I think there is going to be some great stuff there.
