Fives

Saw this image and was gonna post it, but not to point out how it looks like the V shaped shuttle in the trailer. You can obviously see that there is no actual mechanism on the ship that would even allow the wings to fold down or in any direction. Its just one big solid thing.

Thats what I expect. Hopefully there will be some funny videos as well, showcasing the sets. I think anything that gets posted on the site would be spoiler free because I doubt LEGO was given too many details about the story itself. Just enough for them to produce accurate toys.

Does anyone expect the LEGO Star Wars site to get a complete rehaul on friday? I really hope they have a whole new slew of games and such for when the sets are officially released.

All this discussion about the shuttle is slowly siphoning the living Force from within me. I think that, like many other have stated, there are two main shuttles in the film. Kylo Ren's shuttle seems to be his personal ship, unlike Vader who had a TIE and would use standard Imperial shuttles for other transportation. I think that the V shaped ship from the trailer must be either Snoke's, Phasma's or Hux's, or just a nondescript ship that is part of the First Order fleet.

My guess for our best chance to get Kylo Ren in a cheaper set would be the Battle of Takodona coming out in the new year with the rest of all these sets. I'm guessing this is where the final climactic battle of the film will take place, and I guess Takodona is the planet where the First Order operates from.

Hulk_Smash, you said that the Battlefront Rebel BP has four soldiers in beige outfits. Makes me wonder if these BPs are supposed to be based on the Battle of Jakku DLC...

I'm really surprised theres no Lando in the Carbon Freezing Chamber. However, I now have a very strong feeling that we may see a larger Cloud City set in the 2016 summer wave simply because LEGO went to the trouble of making that new hair for Finn (which would obviously be perfect for Lando as well). Maybe we'll see a set similar in size to the Death Star Final Duel with Lando, Luke, Vader, Leia and a couple Stormtroopers.

One of the biggest issues with Ren's helmet is that it LOOKS too big, but it may not be too big once in-hand. I remember when we first got images of the Iron Man helmet back in 2012 and a lot of people were upset with how oversized and awkward it looked, but in the flesh ( or brick, I suppose ), it doesn't look nearly as bad as people thought. My main problem with the helmet is that we don't know how often Kylo Ren will have his hood down. I kinda wish they'd done a helmet/hood hybrid, but maybe that would've looked even worse than what we've got. Also, am I the only one who thinks that line in the commercial, "Build the X-Wing and save the droid!" sounds hilarious. Why not just call him BB-8

HELL YES! I've always loved the LEGO Star Wars commercials. So awesome.

The guy puts both pilots in the TIE in the video.

The teaser is also on the Star Wars instagram, where they officially posted it.

True, and if you look closely at the tips of her staff they bear a striking resemblance to the ends of Darth Maul's lightsaber, which makes me wonder if theres more to the staff than meets the eye.

Yes, it looks to be the blade of The Chosen One that Finn is wielding. This definitely begs the question: is Rey gonna be part of the inevitable duel at the end of the film? It would seem strange for her not to be.

Looks to me like aspects of that TIE shuttle became part of the new TIE variation that has red on its hull. I doubt we'll ever see a ship like that any time soon. Its a little to Imperial. The First Order seems to have its own style.

Theres no comparison when it comes to the interiors of the 2011 Falcon and this years version. LEGO really outdid themselves with the accuracy of the stickers and the overall colours inside the ship. The tan parts, while simple, do a good job of replication the tan walls of the Falcon. I can't wait to get my hands of this beauty! Definitely my first purchase of the wave.

Exciting! This hopefully will give us a much more in-depth look at these two sets and the minifigs. Wonder when the reviews will be up...

Thanks for posting those! The more I look at Finn, the more I like him. Really great face printing as well.

Unless they go to the trouble of making another new trooper helmet mold, thats the best option. I was looking at it, and while there are some subtle differences, overall it looks the same. With the right printing, it could look great. Also, they'd need arm printing if they stick with using black arms. I really hope we don't get those red Shock Stormtroopers from that one trailer. Yeah, its cool, but I'd much rather something more plain in colour. They just look better when you army build. In the Rebels battle pack, I hope we get a new backpack mold that looks like the packs worn on Hoth and Endor. And a Sullustian and a Bothan would be really cool.

Yeah, whats this image?

Perhaps. But if they do make the cave, I'd want it to be a bit bigger than the last one, which was lame because the Snowspeeder stole the show. I'd rather see a $40 set with Luke, Han, the Wampa and Han's taun taun and all the pieces being used for the cave. Plus, all the functions would also be in the cave, and it could be so much more detail on the inside. Perhaps LEGO could even do some neat SNOT builds. One can dream...

Yes, but thats the Marvel line. The same rules don't apply to Star Wars, or at least they don't seem to.

I don't believe its a fail. There have been lots of mock up designs for what his saber could've been, with a small red bar and a normal blade in a special molded hilt. However, those sorts of connections, where any sort of LEGO rod gets pushed too far into a hole, are considered 'illegal' by the LEGO System standards. The solution they came up with is simple, it looks pretty good, and it allows one unique pice to be created and used however they like. Plus, its pretty cool having a standard pearl grey lightsaber hilt. EDIT: Just noticed all the images are gone from my signature. Guessing this is thanks to the Disney Embargo. No big deal.

My email is blablablablabla Nearly 5 years here, and I've literally never posted images from new sets here ever. You can trust me.

I'd really love to see them reuse the Elven hair from LOTR but with yellow ears. Has it been confirmed that the weapons are basic medieval weapons or are they weird sic-fi hybrid things?

This is a really good point in general. Hmmm... I may need to re-think my purchase strategy...
