BrickArtist Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Somehow, I know they would because over the years, they just make the same sets over and over again, why? It's called a remake, It's to improve/reissue sets they feel need to be reintroduced, or improved. It won't happen with everything, only a couple sets. Lego has upped their standards, so I think they'll leave their recent designs untouched for a while. Quote
captainkeeli Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Idea: Shot down on Florrum. Minifigs: JarJar, Clone x2, and 2 pirates. Extras,vehicles: 1 speeder, and half of a NU shuttle (doubtful LEGO would ever do that though!) Cost:$70.00. Idea may vary this time.... No emoticon. Quote

Hehe, 70 dollars for half a ship, better hope they throw in the Gran senator then. The sad part would then be that it would probably sell much better than if they made a nice EU ship like Kyle Katarn's "Mouldy Crow" or a nice KOTOR "Ebon Hawk" Edited January 13, 2011 by Stegoceras Quote

It won't happen with everything, only a couple sets. Lego has upped their standards, so I think they'll leave their recent designs untouched for a while. They do it for sets that sell well. I doubt they care about improving sets as much as they say "Hey, a new Falcon will make us a lot of money". That's why a lot of these wishlists are just awful; they aren't going to take huge risks making very specific scenes from CW. Quote

That's why a lot of these wishlists are just awful; they aren't going to take huge risks making very specific scenes from CW. For example X-Wing Fighter (4502 & 6212) and 6212 has been on LEGO.com since 2006. Quote

Thats what meant by saying 'reintroduced', yeah Lego has only done ships with figs fo SW, I doubt it will change. Quote
Zzz Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 They will most likely make a new helmet that will work with the already existing clone armour, so the helmet probably won't cover the top of the chest print like in the past. I think the helmet will be able to be turned around the head 360 degrees without interference and be capable to equip the visors and stuff. Hmmmm.... that sounds awesome! It does. But do phase II clones use the helmet gear? Cody has a visor, but besides that, I don't recall seeing any use of it. Anyway, would be nice but also smaller in size, compared to the existing ones..

Anyway, would be nice but also smaller in size, compared to the existing ones.. Yeah they will probably Bring in gear for TCW Phase || Clones as they did for Phase | and I expect when they make TCW Phase || Clones in Lego whenever they come out they will use the newer one they had in the "Republic Swamp Speeder" from 2010 but give it a more Animated look.

captainkeeli Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Crashed on Maridun: Minifigs: Anakin, Ahsoka, Aayla, Rex, Bly, Wagtoo. Vehicles,extras: CR70 ship, Republic tent, and escape pod. Cost:$120.00. 2 new figs. You all know what it says here! Quote
Fives Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Hey, I've haven't posted much in a while, but I have compiled a rather long list of some good possible ideas for sets based on the six films. So, here we go: Jabba's Palace (Ep. 6) Minifigs: Luke (jedi knight), Leia (slave outfit), Leia (Boussh disguise), Lando (guard disguise), Gammorean gueard (new printing on old piece), Bib Fortuna (new printing, fleshie colour skin), Han in carbonite. All figs will be printed with max. detail. Creatures: Jabba (same old piece, with new dark green colour, fleshie belly and face print, and pupils), Rancor (new pieces, built like a Castle theme dragon) Set: includes throne room, with wall placement for the carbonite Han, trapdoor to Rancor pit, and moving bed for Jabba. Similar look to the old set, only much bigger and more detailed, with dungeon under neath. Rancor pit/dungeon and throne room can be put one on top of the other or separated for max. playability. Prison cell attached to dungeon. Cost: $159.99-$174.99 CAD Bespin Duel/Escape from Cloud City (Ep. 5) Minifigs: Luke (Bespin outfit, trans blue blade, not light trans blue), Darth Vader, Lando (Bespin outfit), Leia (prisoner outfit), Chewie, Imp. Officer. Max detail. Set: includes Carbon Freezing chamber, window room, and long catwalk for the duel, and a windowed hallway attached to a small landing platform. The catch of the set is to combine it with the new Slave I to complete the scene. Lots of details. Cost: $129.99-$139.99 CAD Lar's Homestead (Ep. 4) Minifigs: Luke (farmboy), Owen Lars, Beru Lars, Threepio and R2. Max details. Set: includes main home with round roof, inside is a small kitchen counter and dinner table with some kitchen ware. Also a moisture vaporator and maybe a new gonk droid (possibly brickbuilt?) Cost: $34.99-$49.99 CAD Tusken Camp (Ep. 2) Minifigs: Anakin ( padawan), Tusken Raider x4 (completely new fig) Max detail. Set: Two tusken huts and a small fire place. Cost: $24.99-$39.99 CAD Kasshyyk Battle Packs (Ep. 3) Good: one kasshyyk trooper, one airborne trooper, two wookiee warriors. max detail. BARC speeder (better design) small wookiee catapult Evil: battle droid x4, SBD x2, dwarf spider droid, turret. Cost: $14.99 CAD each. Arrival on Mustafar (Ep. 3) Minifigs: Padme (pregnant), Anakin ( double sided head, one side good and one side evil, new hairpiece), Obi-Wan, Threepio, two microfigs printed as baby Luke and Leia. max detail. Set: includes the ship that Padme took to Mustafar. Function inside ship similar to the inside of the Theta shuttle. Function is to make Padme give birth to the twins. Cost: $64.99-$79.99 CAD I have a couple more ideas, but this post is getting to be very long, so they can wait. Anyways, tell me what you think. Edited January 16, 2011 by Fives Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 It does. But do phase II clones use the helmet gear? Cody has a visor, but besides that, I don't recall seeing any use of it. Anyway, would be nice but also smaller in size, compared to the existing ones.. Some special attachments included kamas and pauldrons, they could also attach electrobinoculars and sun visors to their helmets. I believe Bly was the user of the electrobinocs. TLG will probably include the holes just to keep with the style of the CW Phase 1s, and since that'd mean making them a little skinnier and lightly adjusting the dome to fit the visor, they might as well remold the whole thing. (and they probably will-but CW-ify it) [snip] While they all have been mentioned before, they are all sets I'd buy if executed properly. Just so long as they aren't all in the same wave, otherwise I'd be spending to much. The general consensus, though, appears to be that if any set is made from the second half of RotS, Arrest of Palpatine is the most popular candidate. Quote

We should be getting that one soon, though. It was on vote for the 10th anniversary set, along with slave I, and the home one. That would be a nice set. My big wish is some phase 2 Commanders. What would really be amazing is if TLG scrapped the big CW eyes, replaced them with normal ones, and made the amour switch. Quote
brickbuilder Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) I remember seeing an action figure set a while back similar to this, so I thought there could be a set called Gelagrub Patrol, from ROTS. Gelagrub Patrol: $24.99 Comes with 3 327th troopers, Aayla secura, a molded (or brickbuilt) Gelagrub beetle, and some Felucia scenery. Maybe some droids too. Kind of like the 2009 Echo Base set I've always wanted to see Felucia done perfectly in LEGO. One day I guess I'll just have to MOC it. For those of you who don't know what a Gelagrub beetle is, it's this thing: This would look pretty cool with some transparent bricks. EDIT: I guess if we're lucky it could come with Commander Bly too Edited January 22, 2011 by brickbuilder Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I remember seeing an action figure set a while back similar to this, so I thought there could be a set called Gelagrub Patrol, from ROTS. Yeah I saw that Hasbro set before. It's a nice suggestion, though highly unlikely to become a lego set considering that giant Felucia slug isn't as popular and iconic as other SW creatures like the Rancor or the Bantha. Quote

Yeah, I would doubt the appearance of the Gelagrub in a set. At least not before the Bantha, Rancor, Eopie, and the return of the Kaadu and Dewback. Off topic, but if you want one, it has been brick-built before. Quote

Yep, and adding to brickartist's comments, this one is highly likely considering the 'cast' is almost complete in lego form - Palpatine, Mace, Kit, Saesee, and Agen Kolar (similar to the upcoming Eeth Koth fig). Of course the figs will have to be the non-CW version, so it would be interesting to see how TLG will address this considering they just made the new CW Seasee. Quote

I would hope for smaller horns, smaller eyes, and some slightly less exaggerated features. I'm really hoping for a ROTS wave. If TLG could just zoom in on ROTS for 1 year, and then leave it be for a while. I actually think the geeblgrub is somewhat likely. We just got a swamp speeder, and you wouldn't have even known that thing existed if you didn't squint your eyes at the Kashyyk action sequence right before yoda severed two clone heads . I would like one small set for every battle in ROTS. 25 dollars, nothing too special, some printed phase 2s, and some BDs. A unique seppie feature for each battle(Utapau-crab droid. Kashyyk-icro spider droid.) Quote

It was the one movie they spent the least amount of time on, but it had some fantastic scenes. I admit there were some pretty nice vehicle designs in Clones, but I think LEGO's pretty much covered all the major ones (LAAT/i, AT-TE , Punworcca, Hailfire, Homing Spider). The only ones I see LEGO doing are the SPHA-T and Padme's yacht, the latter of which would make quite a few AFOLs happy. I doubt LEGO would make any civilian vehicles like the large bus thing that transports Anakin and Padme to Naboo. It would be interesting, though, if they decided to make the Diamond cruiser into a set. A Hardcell transport playset would be all right, I guess... Edited January 24, 2011 by fallenangel327 Quote

AOTC didn't have many vehicles though, the only ones I can think of are the Naboo Starships and Acclamators. ROTS on the other hand has many options for sets. (And phase 2 clones ) Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 (And phase 2 clones ) I'm not so sure they're better than Phase 1s, but if TLG revisited AotC, chances are they'd just use a variant of the CW clone design, not those lovely minifigs from '02. Quote
prateek Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Staying on the topic of AotC, I'd like a new version of Bounty Hunter Chase, with 2 speeders and the Jedi and Zam. Quote

Then again, they have kept the phase 2's the same for some time (even if their CW fig debut is yet to come), so they may just reuse the old piece and give it new printing. That would be best. Also, there are some great things from AOTC that aren't vehicles that could become playsets (Geonosis Arena anyone?) Quote

Lego has only done 2 of that type (DS, Home1). As for ROTS, the reason I like ROTS so much is there are sooo many vehicles and locations to MOC. Quote
Supersonic Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 AOTC didn't have many vehicles though, the only ones I can think of are the Naboo Starships and Acclamators. And the Republic Gunships, AT-TE, LAAT/c, SPHA-T, Geonosian Fighter, the Bounty Hunter ships, the Slave I and the Jedi Starfighter... If there's a wave dedicated to AotC in, say, 2012 or 2013, I'm pretty sure we'll see the Gunship and/or AT-TE again. They appear in TCW as well, so kids who watch the show know them too. A minifig scale, well-designed Acclamator would be the dream, though... Quote
