LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

[Borex]

Thanks for the info Hulk Smash.

Carbon Freeze chamber - An ugnaught. Yeah! Not including Lando feels indeed like there will be more Bespin sets in the future.

BP's: If those are indeed ot stormtroopers i think a lot of people overhere in this thread will buy multiples and multiples.

Droid escape: Looks like a fun set with two cheap jawas in it. Want it.

Do you know what the 5 other constraction figures for winter are?

Would be great if you visited on the action figure topics too :)

The other construction figures are

in black boxes saying Star Wars because they are from The Force Awakens!

[Ultron]

Do you recall if C-3PO had leg and/or arm printing droid escape?

the empire battle pack has 4 stormiest, and is a mix of the clone command bars BP and the senate guard BP,

Can you clarify what you mean by clone command bars? Do you mean like a little command center is the build?

[Hulk_Smash]

He actually looked pretty plain.

...figured as much. If you have anything to say about Bionicle drop it here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=112711&st=750

[Hulk_Smash]

Afraid I don't.

[Artizan]

It is possible that some of the plain stormies are placeholders for shock stormies.

[Hulk_Smash]

Well they seemed pretty detailed to be placeholders.

[Bantha Fodder]

Thanks for the info. You're a real bothan...

Was the jawas the same type we got in the ucs sandcrawler (and 2015 advent calendar ) ?

[Lynx]

Great stuff, thanks for sharing! I'd love to add Boba, C3PO and Jawas to my modest collection.

Really hoping for Kylo Ren to appear in a micro fighter set - and for old Luke & Leia, obviously!

[Hulk_Smash]

Yes, the Jawas are the same.

Dear Hulk_Smash, do you know anything about the minifigs of Obi's intercepter and Hoth Attack? Thanks very much.

I'm a bit disappointed about the description of Obi-Wan's interceptor. I guess this means no new Commander Cody. No R4-G9 either. But I'm satisfied with the description of the Carbon Freezing Chamber. We had heard there would only be 3 figures plus the Carbonite block, and we also knew the set would only be $25. I think LEGO made the right choice with this one. I'm also happy about it because I'm assuming we'll get more Cloud City in the summer.

I'm happy with what I've seen of the Carbon Chamber so far. Assuming I buy it, I'll have my fourth Boba Fett and my fifth Han Solo! It's possible that we might get Lando along with Vader and Han in his Hoth jacket in a torture room playset.

[Hulk_Smash]

Hoth attack looks like a smaller version of the one we got last year, and comes with a couple of troopers of both sides and a probe droid.

I could only see Obi Wan in his star fighter, but that doesn't mean there aren't other figs in it, he will definitely have R4 with him.

[Ultron]

Since the Wampa isn't in the Hoth Attack set I'm praying he comes in Echo Base! I've never had one

[ChiefPie]

I hope the stormies will be OT because I have no Idea where mine are anymore. I'll probably get the carbon chamber because both of my boba fetts are missing..

Don't you mean 2013?

[Hulk_Smash]

Probably.

[irispen]

Are the BP rebel soldiers the same with the rebel soldiers in tydirium set? (Endor based)

[Darth_Brick360]

So no podracer? or is it a retailer exclusive?

[Clone 01354 Productions]

Does Boba Fett have printed arms in the carbon-freezing chamber?

[Ultron]

Does Boba Fett have printed arms in the carbon-freezing chamber?

He said yes.

hahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sorry. But this is never going to happen. Big iconic characters, especially villains, never, ever, get released in tiny sets, not in the modern line (last time Vader was in a cheap set was what, 2005?). Heck, the Inquisitor is a one-off, single-season villain - and they still didn't put him in his own Microfighter ship, even though almost everyone, kids and AFOLs alike, who needed the TIE Prototype probably has one by now, or will by Christmas. Kylo Ren, the mascot character for the new Star Wars movie? I'd be surprised if he pops up in anything less than $60 for the next few years at least. Better just bite the bullet and grab the Command Shuttle - you get Hux too, who seems to be a pretty important character.

I'm a bit disappointed about the description of Obi-Wan's interceptor. I guess this means no new Commander Cody. No R4-G9 either. But I'm satisfied with the description of the Carbon Freezing Chamber. We had heard there would only be 3 figures plus the Carbonite block, and we also knew the set would only be $25. I think LEGO made the right choice with this one. I'm also happy about it because I'm assuming we'll get more Cloud City in the summer.

I would have preferred blue too at the Mustafar Green Starfighter style pricepoint (forty bucks for Tion Medon, Cody, G9). But let's face it guys - Obi's red fighter has tons of screentime in the big opening setpiece, and has not had a version in over a decade. It's high time we got one, especially since it's never had a set devoted solely to the fighter alone. Plus, it just means blue is next up in the roster for Lego to do, and the Jan 2016 wave is proof they still can't let go of those Jeedai starfighters (though I continue to fervently pray we'll one day soon see a black Vader starfighter as described in the Tarkin and Lords of the Sith novels).
