Thanks for keeping on providing these pictures geobrush. One has to wonder just when TLG are planning on releasing images, the longer they wait the more leaks we'll keep getting at the factory level.

That's a really good point. I guess I shouldn't be so upset at the lack of official reveals; everything will just get leaked eventually anyway.

wasn't that just the lighting?

You can see the red markings clearly with this still from the teaser. I thought it was the lighting at first as well but they're pretty distinct.

The First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter is confirmed to have two seats, as seen in

That explains the piece count & price on LEGO's version. Pretty excited to see how they handle this one.

I'm pretty sure the other pilot functions as a rear gunner. Note how the twin lasers on the bottom of the ball swivel 360 degrees.

Well, I certainly cannot wait to build an army of these First Order troopers. Those look great, and the snowtrooper has - like I thought - a kama to complete him.

Also, wouldn't your contact be able to just take a picture of all of the TFA figures? Would be nice... :grin:

Maybe there's two types of pilots since the Special Forces TIE Fighter is a two-seater, so one of them could be a pilot and the other a gunner :wink: There's a rumour though that the one with the red stripes is in fact

Captain Phasma

What's also interesting is that, even though SDCC is earlier this year, there hasn't been a set reveal from the winter wave. In probably wouldn't even have had to be from TFA: I was hoping on seeing a set from Series Two of Rebels.

Really like the pilot, the breathing apparatus tube is a nice touch.

it's not that character, the one in the trailer might be but the action figure from hasbro isnt that character and still got red stripes ;) is jsut one of the differences btween the elite and the plain tie pilots.

The Sith Infiltrator looks really cool, actually. Although, at +100CAD, I doubt I'll purchase it.

Yeah, I, along with most people on here, are really disappointed with the crappy price point for this set (looks like I'll be waiting for markdown days at the stores)

the price on that Sith Infiltrator reminds me of Rancor pit/ Jabba's Palace/ Sail barge. only without large new molds... I fear this is a price test set, to see how well it will sell with a raised price point, if it does well, or well enough, we might be seeing a change in average price per piece.... this thing had better tank!

The Infiltrator looks pretty good from that angle, I have to say. I'd buy it if it weren't for Darth Maul's comical face, the bulky Bloodfin, and that stupidly high price.

Plus, my budget is completely taken up by all of the Episode VII sets. :grin:

so.. the death star is dead... guess that throws away all those rumors about a version with updated mini-figs

Honestly, I'm glad theres no new Death Star. I'm way more excited by the potential of large ground base sets of both the Resistance headquarters and the First Order base. I think theres and chance for some really solid sets, maybe even a UCS version of one of them.
