Lord Beckett Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) |-/ Is it just me or do they have new hats? I'm not sure, it looks a lot like the US Civil War / Imperial officer hats but I don't really distinguish their shape entirely... However their torsos look very much like the Naboo starfighter pilot's to me. :-/ :-( Edited September 29, 2007 by Lord Beckett Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 It definitely looks like new hats to me, and that machine gun is sadly what ded said it was; the camera brick(or whatever it's called) and the lightsaber handle. But why all the Bruce Wayne heads? Can't lego come up with something more grabbing than an old head? And a Dack head for the truck driver? That's sad... Quote
Starwars4J Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Nah, those look like bley kepis to me. Quote
iamded Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 They look kind of green in that pic, but it could just be the pic, I doubt TLC would make another new colour. Quote
Scouty Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 This new series is looking really great. I'm just loving it more! Truck chase: Is it me, or does the chest just seem brown, and with jewels. I guess the Naboo torso is good for the Nazi fellows. *y* Quote

I guess the Naboo torso is good for the Nazi fellows. *y* __________ The chest in the desert chase is filled with jewels, but the chest itself is most definitely chrome gold! :'-) *wub* *wub* *wub* *wub* *wub* *wub* *wub* *wub* *wub* *wub* One thing I want to know though, are the peices that make up the ark in the snake temple set coloured chrome gold too? I really hope so! :'-) TTFN! >:-) Quote

I really hope so! :'-) TTFN! >:-) Looks like they are a gold variation of the silver they have used for the New Castle series weapons.... not sure what I just said was understandable... :-D For the nazi torsos, I must say I'm disappointed. It would though have been so easy to create a new design similar to the torsos of the WW Union soldiers (with braces and all, but green or beige, of course). Do you see what I mean? Quote

Do you see what I mean? ______ Yes it was understandable Lord Beckett, though it was a bit wacko! :-D *wacko* I understand how many are disappointed by the torsoes of the Germans, and I myself would have preferred it with green, but right now they are good, not as good as they could be, but ultimately they are good Nazi soldiers in some very GREAT sets. I won't rant about how TLC is too lazy or can't afford to just keep making torsoes, but I will just say that in every great set there is a disappointment, and that disappointment in this case can't be that much of a huge one. :-) TTFN! >:-) Quote
hollisbrick Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I kinda agrre with you batbrick, they would've been better with some green maybe even camo gear? But the torsos they have ar e still ok. As long as TLC donmt put the nazi logo and it. Quote
Looking for a display name Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 could have had the same uniform design( naboo pilot ) but had it a mix of green and tan or green and grey? like the ice cliffs in 7666 -oobie Quote
SirNadroj Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Truck chase: Is it me, or does the chest just seem brown, and with jewels. Yup, thats what it looks like. Since we're getting the ark in the temple set, I hope that is just preliminary, instead of a crate w/ sticker of Nazi logo that is printed on it. Quote
Tanotrooper Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 ... why would the afrika korps wear green camo? I dont think ive ever seen green camo on germans... hmm... the torso looks like this one ive found: but this is the type i'd rather see: and lets all hope they will give us tan kepis instead of the bley ones... (or a flat tropical helmet or a stahlhelm) TT Quote
Lord Beckett Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) For the helmet, you must be dreaming... :-D I guess they look too nazi for Lego. However, it's true the torso looks like the pic you've found but I still think the braces are too big and moreover, they don't look like those of the film... Edited September 30, 2007 by Lord Beckett Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Afrika Korps never wore green camo. At all. Only tan, beige, whatever, but no green. Let alone green camo. There was some tan camo, but only a little and found in only a few divisions. For some reason, I don't see Lego making more Nazis, at least on foot, or without something like a truck to keep them busy doing something other than holding a gun. I don't see any new molds for guns, sadly, the machine gun possibility was shot down in flames, but speaking of which, I think Lego will make at least one plane. Large enough to fit at least two figs, I hope. Quote
Lord Beckett Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Huh yes, but the nazis from Lost Ark do not belong to the Afrika Korps. Otherwise it's an anachronism since the story happens in 1936 and the Afrika Korps was only founded in 1941 (it was created after the war began as it was a fighting force)... Quote
Tanotrooper Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 interesting... has anyone got several good pics of german soldiers from the IJ movies? TT Quote

Yeah, that's why IJ and reality are a little wonky when put together! :-P But even still, they can do great things with the Afrika Korps, existing or non-existing! Quote
Lord Beckett Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) interesting...has anyone got several good pics of german soldiers from the IJ movies? TT I've tried to find a few but I must admit I didn't get a lot of results... I have found a pic of each German officers (Dietrich from Lost Ark and Vogel from Last Crusade): Colonel Dietrich (next to Belloq and Toht) who is a Wehrmacht officer: Colonel Vogel who is a SS officer: This last pic is small but I guess he's wearing a uniform similar to this one: Other than that, I've found a pic on the IMDB where you can see a few nazis but even if the pic is large, the guys are quite small: IMDB Edited September 30, 2007 by Lord Beckett Quote
Tanotrooper Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 thanks for the pic. The IJ germans dont look at all like the ones in the set. I think the one used with luke and the rebel technicians would be a better alternative, if they dont make new torsos for the indiana jones line... TT we need romans (from now in every post) Quote
The Executive Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I meant this piece. Add a black light-saber handle on the end and there you have it. Or so I think. Also, found this bigger picture of the desert chase set. This set looks like an easy way of getting a few extra naboo pilots X-D . I'm hoping in future sets, Lego decides to make the German helmets. Quote
Bobskink Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) I thought that the Naboo Pilot (magnets) was an easy way to get German soldiers. Edited October 1, 2007 by Bobskink Quote
xwingyoda Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 I've been pondering on a certain issues for the last couple of days (do I think about Lego too muhch ? X-D ): Will TLC finally do an Impulse set based on a generic licensed bad guy ? Might I hope for a fast food promo polybag for the the movie ?? Yeay I know I'm asking way too much :-D I really want loads of those nazis !! I always love the feeling to have food guys totally swamped X-D *yoda* Quote

Yeay I know I'm asking way too much :-D I really want loads of those nazis !! I always love the feeling to have food guys totally swamped X-D *yoda* It would be great if lego did give us an impulse nazi or orc, an easy way again to army build and a fig that a lot of us want. :-) Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) Vader, they'd have to call it a goblin because orc is a word made up for LOTR, and Lego'd need a license with that if they were to do it. But an Impulse Goblin or a Nazi would be awesome, although they'd need to give him some equipment to make it worth it. The Nazi's easy; a revolver and a(if they make them) new mold gun or some other weapon, and probably some odds and ends. The Goblin'd have a little smithy probably, and he could sharpen his blade on it. EDIT: HOLY COW! I just realized that the Nazis all have Naboo pilot uniforms! That is just wrong. I'm miffed that they couldn't come up with a simple tan uniform. Bad Lego, bad bad! Edited October 1, 2007 by trooperdavinfelth Quote

Also, its great for us SW fansto be able to have more of them at affordable prices (thinking of the bike set ;-) !!). I am really greatfull about that ;-) *yoda* Quote
