Brickdoctor Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I like this idea but I'd hope they would keep the same scale as the Battle Of Endor set. I'd like to be able to add Ewok Attack to the scene, not have a much larger/fatter AT-ST there. It'd also keep the price point down with no redesign needed. That said, I think we all know deep down it's going to be a remake of the old Ewok Attack...a catapult and some speeders. Ho hum. Agreed. But at this point in the midst of a flood of CW sets, I'll be happy with what they throw at us. I'm pretty much sold on this set already, and all we know is a name, number, and price. This and the MF have the potential to make 2011 acceptable for us OT fans. Maybe there would be an Ewok Ambush set with like 6 ewoks and 4 stormies and all the Ewoks have ropes with rocks. Some foliage and a few large trees? That sounds more like a BP. The set is supposed to be $25, so if it's an OT version of Battle of Naboo, it needs a medium vehicle I think we can all agree that only an AT-ST would fill that role. Quote

They could just create their own ewok vehicle. Light an ewok....flyer. Similar to the glider but could hold 2 ewoks? something like that. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 They could just create their own ewok vehicle. Light an ewok....flyer. Similar to the glider but could hold 2 ewoks? something like that. But that would be non-canon. TLG has never done a non-canon vehicle as the main vehicle that wasn't a BP. Honestly, I think this set has to have an AT-ST to justify the cost. I'd still get it if it were just a catapult, glider, and speeder bike, but it could be so much more with the walker. Quote
Fallenangel Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Well they can always say that it was "just out of camera range" like the old Kenner toys... But you're right. An AT-ST would really make the set. As Brickdoctor pointed out, all those Ewok traps need something to trap. Quote

I guess it's possible, but it would be totally unlike TLG. Quote

Ritz Brick Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I just thought of something else. TLG already started with a Battle of Naboo, so they could make other things to go along with that. New Tan AAT, Gungan Catapult. Then go into Theed with redesigned flash speeder and theed buildings, new N1. Quote

BrickArtist Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I could go for that. The last AAT was awful compared to the tan ones. It was an overpriced block of dark blue It would be cool if we got an aat in tan, so many great things they could do with Theed Quote
Ritz Brick Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 It was an overpriced block of dark blue It would be cool if we got an aat in tan, so many great things they could do with Theed Agreed, more Nemodians (the species Nute Gunray is), Royal Guards and a Padme so all the whiners will stop.

Blackknight112 Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 I was hoping that we would get a new ISD this year, but I guess not:( Quote
BrickArtist Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Agreed, more Nemodians (the species Nute Gunray is), Royal Guards and a Padme so all the whiners will stop. The return of security battle droids too! Out of the 3 episode one sets, nothing theed, we need some theed sets. Jedi ambush; qui-gon, obi-wan, jar-jar, panaka, padme, battle droids. We just got a set with 12 figs, at 30 bucks, so anythings possible Quote
Brickdoctor Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Well, we have our Padme. We have our Ki-adi, Eeth Koth, and Quinlan Vos. What's left on the list? Quote
prateek Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Well, we have our Padme. We have our Ki-adi, Eeth Koth, and Quinlan Vos. What's left on the list? An Ithorian! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 An Ithorian! Oh yeah, we still need that Cantina. Ithorians and Bith inside. I just noticed- we have 100 pages of wishes now. TLG has granted some of them, hopefully they'll listen to the rest. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Well, we have our Padme. We have our Ki-adi, Eeth Koth, and Quinlan Vos. What's left on the list? Adi Gallia, Even Piell, and Oppo Rancisis to finally complete the prominent Jedi High Council members. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Adi Gallia, Even Piell, and Oppo Rancisis to finally complete the prominent Jedi High Council members. You forgot Yariel Poof and Stass Aliie, who are prominent given that Poof saved Coruscant from a Force artifact and Allie was on the 74-Z on Saleucami. I guess she isn't needed if we get Gallia, though, same for Yaddle. Quote

I based Adi and Even on their appearances on the CW series (which is the current basis of new jedi minifig releases), and Oppo in the cartoon series. Now this is becoming a minifig wishlist topic, so just to get back on topic, since almost every member of the Jedi Council have been/will be released, how about a Jedi High Council Chamber? Exclusive figs will be those three jedi I mentioned, and somehow it'll force those who want to buy this to get the other sets just for the jedi figs. Quote
Ritz Brick Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 If there were to be a large Separatist ship released, would you rather it be something like the Invisible Hand , the Large Command Ship or the Landing Platfrom Quote

Exclusive figs will be those three jedi I mentioned, and somehow it'll force those who want to buy this to get the other sets just for the jedi figs. Not a bad idea, and since Plo Koon is the only CW 'new Jedi 'fig' I have, I could go for that. If there were to be a large Separatist ship released, would you rather it be something like the Invisible Hand , the Large Command Ship or the Landing Platfrom The Providence would offer the best shape for a playset, but given that I don't really like playsets, I'd rather have the Lucrehulk, which would be covered in greebling and grey. The last one (C-7775?) just presents too many structural instabilities, what with four huge wings resting on a skinny base that has to open up. I've said it before, if TLG gives us a big CIS ship, I both hope and higly doubt it will be a UCS Recusant. Quote

I suggested somewhere a jedi temple, on a raised baseb plate. In this shape, except all grey! Stairs up the front, it would include some major jedi, 2 Phase 2 501st troopers, and hooded Anikan. It would include the right rooms, at a smaller scale. This would be a ROTS set, and a fantastic one.....IMO. Quote
Prime Brick Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 ^^^YES that would be the best set ever! Quote
BrickArtist Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 ^^^YES that would be the best set ever! At some point, I think I'll design it as an LDD. Or if anybody else wants to have a go at it, go ahead! Quote

Brickadeer Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) There are several sets I would like to see, e.g.: - A new Stormtrooper battlepack (Sandtroopers with a dewback and/or escape pod). - All variations of Clone Troopers with phase II armor and helmet (flesh head minifigure). - A re-release of the gunship 7676. - A new Jabba with more details (Episode VI, Clone Wars). - Oh - and I would like to see finally Commando Droids.
