Derek Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) KimT, where did you find that tauntaun pic from the other thread? It looks like it might be real. Are there others? Thanks! -darthperson Edited December 28, 2008 by darthperson Quote
KimT Posted December 28, 2008 Author Posted December 28, 2008 KimT, where did you find that tauntaun pic? It looks like it might be real. Are there others?Thanks! -darthperson I found it whilst searching brickshelf last night. It's gone now, but the saying: "Right click and save - is your friend" proved right once more. I'll attach it to this topic once more, and yes it looks real to me Attachment coming up edit: snip Quote
Derek Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 The fact that its gone now only makes it seem more authentic! Can't wait for that Echo Base set, especially if its cheap! Thanks for sharing -darthperson Quote
Natman8000 Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Thank you KimT this is very good. I havent seen that taun taun pic before so, thanks. one thing that that bothers me is, that from what ive heard, the echo base has lots of figures and tauntauns. yet it has few pieces. how much do you think lego will overprice this? Quote
KimT Posted December 28, 2008 Author Posted December 28, 2008 Hard to say. From what I've heard we're talking tauntaun, snowtroopers, rebels and Han Solo plus some white bricks. A medium sized battle pack Price is hard to say.. my personal guess would be "regular BP's" x2. But that's just a guess. Quote
darkrebellion Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Well that pics looks authentic to me , thanks very much KimT . The fact that it was taken down from Brickshelf just make it look more authentic also like darthperson mentioned. Also this are the reason why I think this is authentic: - It has a Hoth background. - Comes with the rumored Hoth Han. - Looks pretty solid and not like a custom (I know there are some customs with extreme accuracy and that look like a real thing but they are just a few). - Also the way the blaster is attached looks something that the TLC will do (I think that the persons that make customs would prefer to put some kind of cargo bag instead of just put the blaster with a brick supporting it).

-JD- Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 The tauntaun looks ok. Atleast we will get some snowies! Quote
Erdbeereis Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 That looks excellent in my opinion. Finally some new creatures in our LEGO-Star Wars universe. I look forward to seeing the contents of the rest of the set. Thanks for posting KimT! Quote
Tim Bit Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Since its been removed it does make you think... Quote
General Magma Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Trust me, if it got removed it must be real. It got deleted cause TLC didn't want anyone to know about it yet.. Quote
Darth Legolas Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Drat! I missed it! Oh well... maybe now that that pic came up, we'll see some more! Everyone, scramble to brickshelf! Also... when KimT cleaned this topic he erase my pictures of the Senate Commandos and Palpatine. But they have there own topic now. It does look like they might have different colored clone helmets, but it seems they're open at the mouth and might have an opening with the classic faceless black head underneath, like the Episode III troopers.

If it's a black head they have, then I hope they have a face on the back, like the reversible heads but then you can change it when they put off their helmet so you don't see a shadow guy running around..

Well, they might make a special Captain Argyus, maybe... as for Palpatine I think he'll looke better in final form, because right now he can't get any worse! They'll probably have another set with Dooku (hopefully!) and there are 3 more comics following this, so there are a lot more minifigures to get previews of... Quote
daxflame680 Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) If it's a black head they have, then I hope they have a face on the back, like the reversible heads but then you can change it when they put off their helmet so you don't see a shadow guy running around.. But then you'd all be complaining about cartoon faces. IMO, I think Senate Commandos look kinda creepy when you see their faces. Edited December 28, 2008 by daxflame680 Quote
Justin2224 Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 The only Senate Commando that looks weird really is Argyus. I still think that the Palpatine is an odd Choice for the Venator, but oh well. I think this was posted a while back, but I read that the Corporate Allience was to come with 2 501st with jetpacks and two Battle Droids. Quote
Derek Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 For anyone who has the Hyena Bomber- What color are the Space Battle Droids? Dark Red? Dark Orange? Brown? It seems different in every pic I see. Thanks! -darthperson Quote

It seems different in every pic I see.Thanks! -darthperson It's not Exo-Force orange... I don't think I have any pieces the same color other than them, but it's like a medium brownish/orange. I'll go find other pieces the same color. Quote
KimT Posted December 28, 2008 Author Posted December 28, 2008 Link for zoomable picture: ZooomLinky edit: Dang! Not fast enough to melt into previous post. They look earth-orange to me. Quote
Darth Legolas Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Link for zoomable picture:ZooomLinky edit: Dang! Not fast enough to melt into previous post. They look earth-orange to me. Here! Bricklink says it's the same color as this: But I'm not sure because although I have the droids, I don't have the beard to compare! Quote
Derek Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 They look earth orange there, but on the box they look dark red. Odd...Must be a new/rare color... Quote
JimboJones Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3595619 heres your answer Quote
The Penguin Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I've just compared the droids and dwarves that piece. ) I must say they are quite similar, but, in my opinion, the droids are a bit darker. ) Good day, gentlemen! ) Quote
