382nd Legionnaire Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 The lore regarding to the mandalorians has been extremely deformed, so as the rest of the clone wars history. I think its ok to get some new vehicles from the expanded universe instead of more clone wars crap. The only thing I am looking forward to is a delta squad battle pack since they made their appearance in the show. I don't think a Delta Squad battlepack is the best choice for Lego as they are basically buy one and done battlepacks. Since they include specific characters, an army of them is just overkill. They would probably be released in a more pricey set though. I would like to see Phase 2 clones as the TV show has already moved onto the new armor. Quote
Nom Carver Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 You are right, but lego has taken the wrong decisions before, I would never buy an overpriced set only to get one of the four members of the squad. Quote

No I'm saying that the entire Delta Squad may be included in a $50+ priced set so you really only want one of them. I would say the latest Clone battlepack pushes it a little bit with the ARC trooper. I mean a commando army just doesn't look right. Thats my 2 cents anyway. Quote
Nom Carver Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Sure! an army made of rainbow troopers makes no sense, depending on the quality of the vehicle I would think on buying it, however I prefer the old school clone troopers (thge original ones) Quote

The old ones from 2007 are now sky rocketing in price. Quote

You're entitled to that view but I don't think it's fair. The Clone Wars has a large following with kids and that's who toys "LEGO and Hasbro" are targeted at. If it wasn't for TCW, my son and I would have never gotten into LEGO. My son already loved Star Wars but it wasn't until he saw TCW LEGO sets that we became fans. TCW brings my family and I new Star Wars stories that we can enjoy together. Something that the EU doesn't at the moment. Quote

Lego is pretty slow on making sets to coincide with the series. I mean we got the ARC troopers that appeared in the episode back in fall 2010. Even Lego is now making the Malevolence. The first hint at the new Phase 2 clones was in the swamp speeder set a year or two ago. That clone looked pretty cool, but I think Lego was just teasing us. Quote
LEGOman273 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) For Delta Squad, would you mind them being in a UCS? I'm thinking of a UCS Nu- Class Shuttle (similar to the Lambda), with Delta Squad and 2 Phase I pilots. Edited March 27, 2012 by LEGOman273 Quote
382nd Legionnaire Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I'm not sure, but wasn't the clone in the 2010 set identical to the original phase 2 clones other than the dotted mouth pattern? I think Lego will make a completely new mold for the helmets of the Clone Wars phase 2 clones, just as they did with the phase 1's. For anyone collecting Clone Wars figures that is tremendous news though, as we are going to see so many new clones made, I'm extremely impressed with the variety of clones already made over the last few years. To make this post on topic though, I'm happy Lego is finally taking non-CW minifigures seriously, this summer is exciting with the Skiff, Jabba's Palace, TOR sets, Gungan Sub and (hopefully) Palpatine's arrest. We are seeing an unprecedented amount of new characters, something I've been envious of in the CW sets for the last few years. No they do look almost identical but both the helmet and torso have changed. The newer one has more detail on the torso. Here's the pictures I pulled from the respective reviews.

Either way hopefully Lego changes the ugly clone head. I'd much rather have this as the head rather than the ugly clone head. Maybe Lego will change it the new stormtrooper heads? Quote

The Legonater Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Mandalorians? WHo here wants to build a Mandalorian army? I take it you don't you don't actually want me responding to that I'm really hoping they make a solid Phase 2 helmet. The solidity of the Phase 1 is my favorite part of it, as it allows you to easily use different heads underneath. The gap in the Phase 2 has irritated me since it's inception. Quote
382nd Legionnaire Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I'm curious if Lego should make a Clone battlepack like a random booster pack. A lot of people want Wolfpack troopers, 501st Legion, 212th Battalion, or just plain white clone troopers. One way to solve this problem is to make a booster pack similar to how Lego does its minifigure collection. Each battlepack will have lets say 4 random clone troopers in addition to the set itself whether it be a speeder bike or something. It could be an interesting thing to do as it will keep the customer excited as they won't know what they might pull. If Lego does this, I'd put a lot of money into the battlepack. Let me know what you guys think. Quote

I'm expecting solid helmets, too. And Boba Fett heads. Quote
Mr Man Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Either way hopefully Lego changes the ugly clone head. TCW Clones (Phase I, I.5, or II will all still have the CW heads. Any film (AOTC or ROTS) clones will likely have ether black heads or Boba Fett heads. Quote

Sir_Basil_Ashton Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I'm looking forward to and believe that we will get a new Phase II helmet mold for the CW sets. I'm not sure where everyone stands on this but I really like the look of the pre-TCW clone helmets. The cut-away doesn't bother me. I know it really doesn't make sense since the heads are black underneath and that part of the helmet is black anyway. Another thing, when my son and his friends play with their LEGO, they always fight to play with the clones with the older helmets. Quote
LEGOman273 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) I wonder if Palpatine's Arrest will have the hallway where Palps reveals that he is a Sith. It will likely have the command center where he was confronted, and the office. Edited March 27, 2012 by LEGOman273 Quote

Brickdoctor Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Hasbro won't let them make minifig packs for SW. He mentioned including a speeder bike, which would allow TLG to market the minifigs as accessories for the bike and avoid any problems with Hasbro. He's not talking Star Wars CMFs; he's suggesting BPs that have a random selection of troopers. Quote
CMP Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Those would sell like hotcakes, 382. Something to the effect of 2 regular clones, one random specialist clone (pilot, gunner, ARF, etc) and a random colored legion clone (501st, Wolfpack, others). Quote
LEGOman273 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 The Random-Clone-Pack idea is good, "But My Lord, is that. . .legal?" Putting a vehicle in would just make it like the last Clone BP. Perhaps Hasbro's terms will change, and TLG will be able to make Collectable-Clone sets. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 The Random-Clone-Pack idea is good, "But My Lord, is that. . .legal?" Putting a vehicle in would just make it like the last Clone BP. ...and there was absolutely nothing wrong legally with the last Clone BP. Quote
LEGOman273 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) ...and there was absolutely nothing wrong legally with the last Clone BP. I meant that if TLG put a vehicle into the set, they would just make it a BP, not a random-Clone pack. TLG has never made a random-contents set in a box before. I suppose that that is because there would be a greater risk of theft. You realize that I was referring to the last FOUR-CLONE BP, not the last Clone BP. Edited March 27, 2012 by LEGOman273 Quote
Brickdoctor Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I meant that if TLG put a vehicle into the set, they would just make it a BP, not a random-Clone pack. 382nd Legionnaire is suggesting both: a BP with random troopers. You realize that I was referring to the last FOUR-CLONE BP, not the last Clone BP. There wasn't anything wrong legally with that BP, either. Quote
