wesker Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 If it is a new Yoda's Hut, it will be great to see an updated non-CW Yoda finally! Most likely a $20 set? I'm pretty excited at the thought of a new Dagobah Luke. Minifigures have come a long way since the last one was released. I just hope a new Yoda goes back to having a soft plastic head like the original figure and not rubber like the Clone Wars version.

Also, it seems like tge paint comes off easier on the rubber. My votes on the Degobah playset as well. Probably Luke, yoda, R2, and an opening hut. Maybe bigger than the previous one.

I just hope a new Yoda goes back to having a soft plastic head like the original figure and not rubber like the Clone Wars version. Yeah, I remember after getting the 4502 version, how nice it was to have a unique Luke that was finally not in his pilot or Tatooine outfit. And the backpack that Yoda could attach to was a nice feature. Definitely agree with you on the plastic over rubbery head. The original Yoda was a great minifig, considering it was from 2003. I wonder if they'll incorporate the scene with the cave and Darth Vader (Luke's head)...
nrg Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) I would agree with you, if it weren't for the fact that the last few years have been quite RotJ-heavy already. Jabba's Palace, Skiff, Endor planet, Endor battle pack, Ewok Attack, Home One, Battle of Endor, Executor, Rancor Pit, UCS B-Wing...I don't see what else they might do, apart from an Ewok Village, Yoda's Hut (which would make more sense as an ESB, 'Dagobah Training'-esque set), or A-Wing remake.--> One of those is correct, but only one :-) From Rebelscum again... Ewok Village / Yoda's Hut / A-wing Edited August 12, 2012 by nrg
ablake90 Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I can see them making the A wing to be honest we'd get the reused rebel pilot and perhaps an astromech with the new head mould, id love the yoda hut though, TLG could kill two birds with one stone and use the same yoda for an epII set.

Good thinking ablake! If they make Yodas Hut and Ep2 sets next year, then they would be able to use a new mold for both of them!
Zzz Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 No need to discuss the Ewok village, right? Endor in 2009, Ewok Attack in 2009. Putting those 5 furry guys into one village set? Yes, but not that soon. Iconic scenes or great starfighters deserve more regular updates. I think TLC found a good rhythm in their releasing schedule. Waiting 11 years for a new Bongo seems fair, a Falcon every 3-4 years is fine with me as well. Ewoks every 2 years would seem plain useless. I will go and buy that Dagobah Set. Just include a Vader with Luke head, please! A-Wing, well, I am not too sure if I need that, but still I am excited!
ablake90 Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I dont know years of release well enough to speculate a trend but when are we due some new battle packs?
Zzz Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I dont know years of release well enough to speculate a trend but when are we due some new battle packs? Every January we got 2 in the past 5 years. 2007: E III 2008: E IV 2009: CW 2010: E V 2011: CW 2012: CW & E VI I would be surprised if we don't get any, but it's difficult to foresee what's in them in 2013. As others mentioned though, the Phase I troopers became a lot more uncommon in the past years, more specialised troops appeared. I would guess Phase II is about to come. Also, I would believe TLC is not releasing any film-based sets with Clones until the CW series is over.
Sir von Lego Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Hi, I talked to my local toy store Manager. There will be a third and fourth Series of Planets in January/February. Also there will be three clone wars Sets and three other. He wasn't allowed to Take the retailers catalogue, it is still secret and the toy Stores only see the Sets shortly. Hopefully we will get a List soon!
jasbury Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I dont know years of release well enough to speculate a trend but when are we due some new battle packs? To my knowledge, it seems like Lego releases new battle backs every year. If they continue with dual side battle packs, then we might get another clone one and OT one in 2013
AD101 Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 If they do release a Yoda's hut set, I hope he is olive green. That would be awesome.

Masked Builder Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 The planet sets are the clone wars themed or the regular set? Regular, we haven't gotten any CW themed Planet sets yet.
Muddy Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Regular, we haven't gotten any CW themed Planet sets yet. What would you suggest? - Trident with Aquadroid on Mon Calamari - B-Wing with 4A-7 (Droid from Movie) on Hoth - Fanblade with Assaj Ventress on Muunalist or Darhomire
nrg Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Somebody said , in the first wave will be ep 2 sets. But now no ep2 sets.Why ???? I hate cw sets...
Sir von Lego Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Somebody said , in the first wave will be ep 2 sets. But now no ep2 sets.Why ???? I hate cw sets... Could ist be that there will be three waves next Year? First: January with Planet 3 and 6 smaller Sets up to 60 EUR. Second: March/April with 6 E II Sets. Third: August Release with Planet 4, again 6 Sets mixed from TCW, E II, other Films. Would be Great! The more Sets the better...(-; And not to forget two exclusives in January, and two UCS..
North Lego Star Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Well, I pretty sure that out of those three possible sets, we'll see the A-wing this wave. I don't think the Ewok village would work well as a cheap set(It could work for a summer set though) and Yoda's hut would be nice but, I pretty sure lego would try pretty hard not to include Luke in two winter sets(more of a summer thing). I think the A-wing is perfect for this wave though if we were to see as a 20$, similar to the Imperial V-wing Starfighter, two Minifigs(A-wing pilot and Ackbar) and one to two play features. I could then see a TIE Interceptor set as an Limited Edition set to fight along with the A-wing. As for the AOTC sets, I really think we'll see a Geonosis Planet Set and for sure and possibly a Limited Edition AOTC set but sadly, I don't think there will be anymore AOTC sets fot the winter wave. The summer wave will be the time for these sets as I think we'll see at least 3 AOTC sets( an AT-TE walker or Republic Gunship would be great if lego were to sell a new Hailfire Droid to Fight it) Hopefully we'll see the set list very soon!
commanderneyo Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Somebody said , in the first wave will be ep 2 sets. But now no ep2 sets.Why ???? I hate cw sets... Well I love TCW sets, and was really disappointed with this year's TCW selection, so hopefully these 3 will be good. And remember he did say 3 other, perhaps one or two of them are AOTC? One of those 3 has to be the Rancor Pit though. Plus, there's the two exclusives, and we don't know what Planet sets there will be. You will get your AOTC product, don't you worry...

NovaSentinel Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Actually last year we only got 1 TPM set in the winter wave (Battle of Naboo) so i doubt we will get more than one AOTC set this wave. The majority will probably come out in the summer wave. My money's on the A-Wing as its 6 years since the last regular release one, and its a good $25 set :)

NovaSentinel Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 The last A-wing was in 2009 in the 7754 Set.. I know but i meant 2006 was the last time there was an A-Wing set in a regular release wave, as home-one was an exclusive :) sorry for confusion
The_Chosen_1 Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 TLG could kill two birds with one stone and use the same Yoda for an Ep II set. That's actually a really good point. TLG seems to use new character molds multiple times within a short span of time (take the new R5 units, for instance).

That would be my ideal list for the year! For the planets perhaps a Kamino Planet, Mini Obi-Wan Fighter, New Obi Figure. Mabye Jango Fett/Slave 1 instead. Edited August 12, 2012 by Darthluke824
