Quite many figs...sounds good! *oh2* Is this an UCS? It has to be, there has never been a non-UCS set this expensive before. So we'll get a CW Padme? And no Watto?

The frigate sounds awesome! Thanks commanderneyo! I hope we will get Endor Battle Packs too, but this Ewok Attack is a good start The Shuttle's cockpit would be awful if used for a snowspeeder; I think used for the shuttle it looks fine...

We still lack good pics of the new jedi... I can't wait to see what Saesee Tinn (I hope that's spelled correctly ) looks like, at the moment you can't make out very much... Shaak Ti is equally interesting. I might buy the T6 Shuttle after all; the final color and better pics of the figs have to be really good, though. Are there any sets other than the BoN available in France? By the way, where is that review qui gon jinn promised?

Everybody complains that only 2 jedi fit into the cockpit; I'm pretty sure TLG has included a passenger's room in the body of the shuttle; there's just enough space there to fit in 2 figs. I don't think TLG would waste all the space just for the mechanism and the engines... I may be wrong of course, but I think it is possible...

The color matters a lot to me, because if I bought it, I'd use the parts for MOCs, for which dark red parts are much more useful than plain red parts Darth Jar Jar: I don't see a double post...

I know we're supposed not to talk about this, but I sometimes lost track of the last 20 pages, so one last question: Did commanderneyo/Jordan say that we get a Ki Adi Mundi or is it a rumor like the UCS Cloud City? No, it's the final design. If you don't believe me here is a picture of all the final designs, the color of the T6 Jedi Shuttle is the same: http://imperiumdersteine.de/picture.php?albumid=3147&pictureid=44721 Is this dark red the same color as the red of the ARC 170 SF?

I think it IS in dark red; look at this picture: This clearly dark red imo; the out of the box pics are too bright, look at the orange of the bomb squad troopers. You're right, Mr Man, though I think you could say that all in all it's the year of new figs, nearly all the figs in the sets this year are new/exclusive.

No, it's the same mold. I painted my old Gungan heads like the new ones and they look very much the same; it's just the amount of new printing that makes it look new. I really like the T6 shuttle, but it is far to expensive. The figs will probably be in a magnet set, though that will probably take some time... I'm sure if it doesn't sell that well it will cost less, so I just have to wait some months. The ARC 170 Starfighter (70€) was on sale for 48 € this month.

Mmh, maybe he doesn't know what consequences leaking images this early could have?

The new heads are just Fine, about the january sets: When do we usually get the piece count of upcoming sets? This is the first time I experience this whole rumor thing about new sets; and when do we get high res pics? Especially the Gungan soldier head back print interests me

Without this discussion, all we could do was to repeat how much we like the new Gungans, that the landing gear of the V-Wing isn't correct etc. But I agree that this topic should focus on the sets, not on Jordan ;)

Well, there is nothing else to be discussed at the moment. This thread is meant for discussing rumors, so we do exactly that At the moment the biggest rumors are the summer sets 2011; if you want to know wether there are new pictures, thanks to KimT the LSW news topic is updated every time something new and important shows up.

Good idea He speaks english, right? As a grandson of someone working at TLG he would make for a great member

Commanderneyo, could you ask Jordan about the Republic Frigate? I know he hasn't mentioned it so far, but still there is the possibility that he at least knows what figs it will contain Btw, I think it's useless to debate wether some rumors are true or not; I guess we all just have to be patient and wait for the day first pics arrive.

Fine, I'll be patient then Perhaps we just get fewer sets than we got in the past 2 years because they think 20+ are too many? If there are sets we don't know, I hope that we get another Gungan set. The 2 Gungans of the BoN aren't enough to build up an army big enough not to look ridiculous compared to the droids. The Malastare AAT should have been a Trade Federation AAT, in dark tan and some more Gungans. After the countless Hoth sets, it's time for the whole battle of Naboo

You're right, how difficult is it to make a picture and put it online? I think there is no need to wait, if Jordan claims he has got all the sets, he should proove it!

True, if I were an OT fan, I would only buy at the one shop that destroyed my hope to get a MF at last Come on, you can't be serious. This site wants to sell as much as possible, so they would never make up a set just for fun.

Do you think they made the MF up? They have to have a reason to put it on their site.

I just think he is wrong about the MF; I trust the site more than I trust Jordan, which is because sofar he hasn't any proof for what he's saying; the only thing that is new is the AAT&Y-Wing set, which still is kind of weird.

Then why does the site list them as sets to be released in 2011? I think it is much more probable that Jordan doesn't know about all of the sets; as far as I remember, he didn't say the Frigate or the Infiltrator would be released yet it is almost sure we get those sets. The site gets the lego from TLG, so the only reason to say there will be a MF next june is that they got this information from them; why would they make up a set? E: By the way: What did Jordan tell us what we didn't already knew about? He only repeated what other sites already knew, except for this "Battle of Malastare". Telling us there won't be a MF shows how few things he really knows - unless he finally takes a picture of this AAT&Y.Wing set; I don't think pictures of the other sets are really necessary, as we're already sure they will be released.

Maybe this means the podracers will be much cheaper than 100€? :) 100 € would be ridiculous, podracers are great, but the 1000 pieces a 100 € set should contain are far too much for just 2 racers.

Yes, but sets like the Echo Base cost about 20 $ in the US, converted to € this would be about 15 €; yet the price in Germany is 27 €. So if the price is 170 $(without the high tax it will probably be around 140$), it will be a set as big as the Venator; with a ship as beautiful as a Republic Frigate TLG would have to be really stupid to make a playset out of it.

Yes; maybe there will be a minor change, such as the "s" of the 2007 Clone Troopers Battle Pack and the 2011 Clone Trooper Battle Pack. I do hope there'll be Endor rebels in this set, though the name suggests a set similar to the old Ewok Attack... some stormies, some Ewoks and speeder bikes/catapults/trees.

Great review! Good pictures, especially the last one ;) I like this mini, the overall shape and the details are great. It looks more like a tank than the new big one...

I agree, the nightsister doesn't seem very hard to make; a speeder with a character (maybe a new Ventress? ) and a new fig, just like the Freeco Speeder. Maybe with a hood and a headpiece with little horns?
