alrigth i was right then... so if disneys first movie are great we will get to that eventually

sorry for the off topic

[Spyderlord]

thanks, 6 of the last 7 were very helpful. I though MF meant something else.

You're welcome, glad to help.

ahh don't worry about it. besides I'M hoping they make a set with him anyways so I would have done the same thing

[BigJoe]

does anyone think that lego should make Vindican the sith inquisitor who trained Darth Malgus and then Darth Plagus who trained Sidious

[Legoman123]

how about making the jedi temple a system set like jabbas palace/rancor pit?

top level high council room and war room - yoda or windu, two exclusive jedi couple of temple guards, perhaps palpatine doublesided face, normal/sith

lower level archives and holocron room - jocasta nu, rare jedi master, cad bane and holocron droid (not really a mini fig)

offcourse it would be awesome if TLG would make the piece count a little higher.. jabbas palace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fooled us on that one but i still kind a like it:)

is this the worst idea ever or what do you guys think. i know ucs would be ideal but in my mind at least it would be off the charges piece wide to make it complete. i would buy the system set i have purposed:)

I personally think the Jedi Temple needs to be made the same way as the Death Star is.

Bring on newly designed Magnaguards! the old ones simply look awful with their tiny heads, oversized arms and plastic capes.

Not to retread old ground but the Jedi Temple has little to no play features that can help market it to LEGO's largest demographic, children.

In 'Episode I,' you only saw Qui-Gon talk to the council about Anakin and Anakin doing his little test. In 'Episode II,' Obi-Wan talks to children waving their lightsabers a little too close to one another and researches a planet in a library. Finally, in 'Episode III,' Anakin gets mad for not getting promoted to Jedi Master and slaughters children (called Younglings in the film so Lucas doesn't have to say slaughter children).

So, other than basing it upon 'The Clone Wars,' how could LEGO viably market the set to kids?

That's why you do not market it to kids. You make a 400$ UCS and market it to the only target group that has the buying power to make it fly off the shelves. And make it fly, they would

That's an awful risk ("this had better work" ) to take. I mean your marketing the set to a fraction (AFOLs) of a fraction (rich AFOLs) of potential buyers...

I think we have a few years before PT subjects will fly off the shelves at a $400 price point. At least anything that doesn't involve a small to mid sized army of Clones?

I see your point, perhaps a few years from now, when the '90s generation move a bit in their careers. But, I don't know, I'm not a huge fan of PT (blast, I even prefer CW for that matter), but a Jedi Temple is friggin' Jedi Temple. We are talking Taj Mahal of Star Wars. And if Taj Mahal sold in Lego, I can't see why Jedi Temple wouldn't. And IMHO it would put the sales of the Executor to shame (again, it's JEDI Temple )

And no clones, come on Few (many) Council Members?

Sorry for double post, I didn't see this. Well, I really don't consider myself rich at all (heck, I'm in very moderate salary range and having expensive hobby ), but with a salary and a little bit of savings for your hobby, 400 mark is not way off-charts like it is for most kids (unless they have SW AFOLs for parents ).

Whom was the SSD marketed to in your opinion, speaking of "an awful risk"?

still the death star has tons of playability which makes it popular and wanted among kids too. you say it yourself it will be very hard to put in a ton of playabillty in the jedi temple so so the kids wont want it as bad.

TLG are not making a 400usd set that only AFOL´s will buy and even only the AFOL´s that are in to SW and not all AFOL ´s that are in to SW wants to spend 400usd on one set.

by the way. dont you guys ever complain about spending 400 dollars on a set. in current change the death star retail price here in DK is: 633.13 dollars:)

[BigJoe]

I honestly don't really care how much it cost. If it cost alot I usually wait for the sales and coupons to come out so I can get it. For one I agree with the Jedi temple idea though I think they need to make more sets based of the Old Republic or expanded universe instead of making duplicits of already made sets like the new AT-AP podwalker. the only reason I would even consider getting the set is for the figures. And one more thing like I said price isn't the issue. It's the quality that makes a set worth it.

[donbarca]

youre right just kidding about the prices dreaming myself to a place where it would be cheaper. prices probably goes with the market and average income and stuff like that. and yes i got the death star at 40% discount plus a 10% gift card of your purchase next time you went to the store. i was lucky toys r´us opened a store in my city so not complaining. most of the sets are definitely worth the price.

and agree something new would be nice. dont so them going to far with old republic but weve got "rebels" to look forward to and then the new movies. so ok with me that they are "rounding up" so to speak with the next couple of waves.

and give me that JEDI TEMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not at all. There is already a ton of playability built into a Jedi Temple set. The problem is pretty much all of it would be built into a TCW based Jedi Temple set. Bounty Hunters, Secret Passages, Air shafts, Explosions, Snipers, Stealing hidden Holocrons, etc. Whereas the PT version of the Temple... well has some really really comfy couches... and then they kill all the children.

[donbarca]

i wouldnt mind a Clone Wars version

[jindianajonz]

I think Disney has announced that the new movies won't necessarily follow the Extended Universe continuity, which makes sense because otherwise everything will already have been spoiled.

Although my number one pick for a UCS model is still a Mos Eisley Cantina, I think there has been a dearth of Prequel USC sets in the line- we've only had the Dropship/AT-OT, the Jedi Starfighter, and the Naboo fighter. I personally like the playset/minifig scale UCSs better, so I'd actually enjoy a Jedi Temple- plus it would be a great excuse for Lego to release some non-Clone Wars style jedi that have so far only appeared in Clone Wars sets, a la Palpatine's Arrest. But since it is not nearly as iconic as some of the other locations in Star Wars (really, the Jedi Council Chamber is the only location I can picture in my head from the movies) this idea would certainly carry some risk in terms of how well it would sell. I can't see it being above $250.

I'd love to see a Senate based set with a variety of Senators- Senator Padme, Bael Organna, the Spiky Blue Vice Chancellor Whose Name I'm Forgetting- though I could also see this set being done on a smaller ($50-ish) scale with a couple of senate pods and the center podium. But if they did do a UCS scale set, it would be a great way to get more mileage out of the more obscure molds that they've made (Weequay head from Jabba's Sailbarge comes to mind)

As for non-minifig scale UCS vehicles, I think the prequels are very tough to design from- the stuff that is iconic is just too big to do in a larger scale- would anybody really want a $250 Republican Gunship that is too big to fit minifgures in? The sets available in System scale are already an ideal size for the gunship, the AT-TE, the dropship, and the AT-OT. I suppose the Episode 3 Jedi Interceptors may make decent UCS sets, but since the old Jedi Starfighter was difficult to move, I don't see these being very likely. An AAT may be a good option, or perhaps an ARC-170 or some podracers. Though I still think the smartest move is the rumored Slave 1 with parts to make it either Boba's or Jangos, and hopefully with Jango, Young and Old Boba, 4LOM, and Zuckuss minifigs!

Reusing molds does seem like a fairly realistic reason LEGO would do this set, but the only thing that comes to mind when I think "LEGO based off the senate building" is the Palpatine/Yoda duel. Pod crashing, ventilation escape, Bail's "Jetsons" speeder thing... I could see that. But I couldn't see LEGO releasing a "Peacetime Senate" set for the same reason I can't see a Jedi Temple set based on the PT and not the CW.

I just want to see more of the Kashyyyk sets

I doubt another wave of Kashyyyk also (I seem to doubt everything...)! The winter 2014 line sort of covered everything (besides the off-roader tank). No tree sets will be released considering LEGO's aversion to smaller location based playsets (and the tree huts aren't iconic enough for a larger scale set). So what else could they do from Kashyyyk that is easily recognizable from the film (the original Revenge of the Sith line featured vehicles not prominently seen in the film because LEGO didn't know what was actually in it, they only had concept art) and haven't been released in the Geonosis wave (AKA the Corporate Alliance Tank Droid is a no-go)?

I'd love a snowspeeder in the £50 range as its one of the ships I dont have

A, UCS speeder bike, Landspeeder or Slave One could be awesome too although I am running out of space for more Lego :(

First of all, looking back at my comments, even $250 is ridiculous. I think something in the $100 to $150 range would be more feasible. In fact, I think a temple set could work if it was patterned after Palpatine's Arrest or Cloud City- a small landing platform and vehicle (with Bail Organa and a soldier or two to represent the scene where he arrives after Order 66 and give the set some "conflict" and a vehicle, inevitably with flick fires) and a couple of interconnected rooms with the Jedi Council chamber and the holocron library. If they could flow together seemlessly like the backside of cloud city, that would be awesome. The set could include some generic features from other sets such as opening doors (I really like the technique used in the Separatist Shuttle for a dual opening door) or just some areas that blow up/fall over in the aftermath of Order 66. A light brick with a transparent brick "hologram" of some sort would be a decent feature, and it would work in either of the two rooms. I know these aren't the best play features, but I think they are comparable to Cloud City and Palpatine's Arrest- neither of those had anything that stood out as being particularly interesting.

The figures would be tougher, since the Clone troops and a mandatory Anakin would take up a good chunk of the alotment, but the aforementioned Bail Organa, Jacosta Nu and Shaak Ti (who was present during order 66 according to Wookieepedia) would be a good start, and I'd love to see Aayla Secura, Evan Piell, or Ki Adi Mundi with regular faces. None of these would require a new specialized mold.

Something like this? It's not a perfect set but if you see priced with a decent discount, I'd recommend it!

yeah thats a set I've been considering, but ideally I'd like a set that was about £50 that was just a snowspeeder and figure, A bit like the X-Wing sets I guess which tend to come in at that price range.

I might pick that set up though, given a snowspeeder doesnt seem to be on the horizon, thanks :D

I guess something between 7130 and the UCS one, in terms of size / price, would be ideal
