xwingyoda Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Well it will be interesting to see what droids lego come up with, also i hope it is uncle ben that we get and not just another obi wan. I'm sure that theses droids will loock pretty sweet finally !!! I would love to have a silver C3PO (I don't remember its name but loocks nice). But maybe in the near future, who knows :| ! Quote
MattZitron Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Well we are getting 3 other droids as well as R2, red R2 and C3PO (one uses battle droid parts in some way, and the other two are brick built) , and there won't be a Luke. It'll be that insect headed 3p0 unit that rests against the wall of the sandcrawler. I wonder if it'll be full of junk? Quote
Vader Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 It would be nice if lego threw in a couple of droids that were damaged looking and so bits of junk to would make it look nice. Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Maybe not damaged but rusty loocking (like the new vickings weapons!!). A rusty C3PO and R2D2 would be sweet :) Quote
Vader Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 When i said damaged i should of been a bit clearer what i meant was it would be nice to get droids that had bits missing from them i.e an arm or leg. Now i would want lego to include the missing pieces for anyone who wishes to have these droids intact, but i do think that it would look very cool to see an r2 unit in the back of the sandcrawler thats missing one of his legs. Hey i wonder if there will be a workshop repair area in the sandcrawler now that would be good. Quote
andy0113 Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 It could be that the brick built droids are the big black dome shaped one (no idea what its called): and the treadwell with lots of arms: ...as they could probably be done quite easily. Cant believe we're getting an Uncle Owen minifig - Lego are going for the obscure option for once! Quote
Vader Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 That bottom pic is the one that i expect lego to include its just a shame that we wont get a r5-d4 in the set, i do find it hard to believe that lego is going to give us an uncle owen fig but i welcome it. :) Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 its just a shame that we wont get a r5-d4 in the set Oh well, too bad :( Lets hope however that the other droids are really sweet!!!! Quote
jonfett Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 its just a shame that we wont get a r5-d4 in the set I always thought that the red R2D2 was R5D4, http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=sw029 *wacko* Jon. Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 its just a shame that we wont get a r5-d4 in the set I always thought that the red R2D2 was R5D4, http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=sw029 *wacko* Jon. I don't think so because even if its red, R5D4 (the Y-Wing one) has a round "head" and the other has a sort of "triangular" head but who knows, I might be wrong. Quote
jonfett Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 This is the same R2 unit that is in the ARC-170, the B-wing and both.. make that all 3 (or even all 4 ;)) Y-wings! See here. There are all the same and have a round dome head like the normal R2.. but is it really R5D4?? 8-| Jon. Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I'm just saying that in the original trilogy, the one you mentionned had round heads, and the one on the above picture doesn't so lets hope its not the round one again (novellty please *sing* ) Quote
jonfett Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I doubt Lego will produce a new head for the droid, I am sure we will be seeing this red droid again. Jon. Quote

xwingyoda Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I just checked the official SW website and the little red droid with the weird head IS R5D4!!!! The other droids on the B-Wings and Y-wings are just regulars astromech droids. I'm pretty sure that apart from R5D4 we'll have the power droid (the big trashcan on feet :D ) and the one that looks like a UFO on land!!!! Quote

I said a few messages ago they need to do him him a proper head. Quote
Vader Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 lol, dont worry it was an easy mistake to make, i do hope that if they give us a r5 he would have a new head but i doubt it to. Quote
DoubleT Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Well maybe we see the set in Mai.... Mai was the AT-AT and Falcon Release month... Quote
Athos Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 If its a 10XXX set, that means Lego Direct, right? I seem to remember hearing that Lego Direct cannot have new parts molded. So that seems to rule out a square R2-esque head. I do like the idea of that multi-armed droid. As for the Jawa attraction, I'm interested in them because they will make great monks for us Castle guys. Steve Quote
The Middleman Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 There are plenty of Direct-only printed pieces, and if I'm not mistaken, doesn't R5-D4 have a conical head? So just print a cone with the generic R-D buttons and such, and that'd work. Quote
erao Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Well it will be interesting to see what droids lego come up with, also i hope it is uncle ben that we get and not just another obi wan. I'm sure that theses droids will loock pretty sweet finally !!! I would love to have a silver C3PO (I don't remember its name but loocks nice). But maybe in the near future, who knows :| ! It is the protocol droid - "E-3PO" Quote
