Bricky Dee Williams Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Okay, so here they are. May 4, 2016 will bring a new UCS Hoth Echo Base. There will be either a UCS Starkiller Base or another Death Star, sources believe it's the latter. (No word on it being a playset or a model) Lastly, UCS Snowspeeder is coming, as confirmed by its inclusion in the Brickset database. Quote
Gremer Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 It might be me being blind, but is there a list with upcoming sets? Reading back 147 pages is a bit of a stretch ;-) Also now the X-wing and Sandcrawler got a UCS remake, will other sets follow? I'm highly anticipating a new Millenium Falcon, Snow Speeder of Star Destroyer. An AT-AT UCS model would be nice as well, but that one would be new. Encounter on Jakku Resistance X-Wing Clone Turbo Tank A-Wing (Rebels) Anakin's Podracer ($25) + 6 more constraction figures. Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) + 6 more constraction figures. Oh? Did not know that. Hopefully no more plain humans. (though Poe was pretty good, IMO) Edited January 3, 2016 by Aegis2000 Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Oh? Did not know that. Hopefully no more plain humans. (though Poe was pretty good, IMO) I believe Yoda is in the next bunch Quote
Major_Ton Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Aegis and Gremer, thanks for the replies! Can't wait for 'The Attack on Hoth' brickset. Any spy-pics yet? Edited January 3, 2016 by Major_Ton Quote
Borex Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I believe Yoda is in the next bunch If they do Greedo or Bossk i'll try a constraction figure. Do these constraction figs sell well? Who buys these and why (just being curious)? Quote
atlas Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I've been doing that for Rebel pilots in both Hoth as well as Yavin/Endor battles. They're on my Flickr account on the link in my sig but I'm on my phone so can't link to an image. Don't worry, I've seen your photos. In fact that kind of inspired me to do a similar thing. The only problem is that 75032 torsos are hard to come by in a proper quantity on bricklink. Was it you who bought 25 of them ? Quote
Schneeds Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 As far as I can remember, there was never a Starkiller Base, I think it was a misinterpretation of someone's wish/want. ^This. Retiring the current Death Star (the best selling lego set of all time) and replacing it with Starkiller base would be absolute stupidity. As for what the new one would bring over the old one, other than updated figures at a few cosmetic interior tweaks I have no idea. That set is arguably the best value for the money Star Wars set Lego has ever produced. Quote
zekee Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) I wasn't sold on the Constraction figures to begin with, but I got Grievous (best one) since I have got Obi-wan, Phasma and Kylo Ren. They've really grown on me. I may invest in them all. Yoda, he would make an interesting one, not sure how it would work? It seems they do 3 'good guys' 3 'bad guys' per wave.... Yoda, Chewy, C-3PO? Boba Fett, Poggle, Darth Maul? Could be cool! Edited January 3, 2016 by zekee Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 ^This. Retiring the current Death Star (the best selling lego set of all time) and replacing it with Starkiller base would be absolute stupidity. Not to mention, though it'd make no difference, the Starkiller Base is at least ten times bigger than the Death Star. Quote
Darth_Brick360 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 While I've been doing it, I noticed that Lego often includes obscure reproductions of various things from the films in sets. Habeer Zignean in the Snowspeeder micro fighter for example. Don't forget Theron Nett in the x-wing microfighter. Where can I see your progress of creating all the pilots? I am interested in it.

I'm sure we'll see Boba Fett coming, and probably Chewbacca and Maul. However, I'm not sure about C-3PO, as they're being marketed as "battle-action figures" Quote

zekee Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Hmmm, well they have plenty of Jedi to make. Kit fisto would be a good one! Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 It doesn't matter what they call them, if people want C-3P0, they will buy it. True, they could design it such as they did with the exploding one back in 2001. But this is all just soeculation, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Feel free to discuss these new constraction figures in its respective thread http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=110628&st=350#entry2427449 Back on topic, the turbo tank won't be based off of clone wars. Quote

Bricky Dee Williams Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Back on topic, the turbo tank won't be based off of clone wars. Does that apply to Ep. III, or is it an Imperial one? Quote

The only problem is that 75032 torsos are hard to come by in a proper quantity on bricklink. Was it you who bought 25 of them ? No... I 've neve brought that many of them. I actually bought around 4 or 5 of them from an advance seller before that micro fighter got released for around £5 each. I then put the helmets on the older Rebel torsos and sold them as a group of pilots. I actually just picked up another torso/legs/head for around £2.30 from a UK seller so I'm just waiting for a new helmet for that. Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Here's the shuttle: Just follow the link, you won't have to log in or anything. It looks pretty good, but.....it's still in dark grey! Come one Lego!!! Quote
BigEl Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Here's the shuttle: https://www.instagra.../p/BAF7CPnzBL2/ Just follow the link, you won't have to log in or anything. It looks pretty good, but.....it's still in dark grey! Come one Lego!!! Seriously, its still completely wrong.... the color, the wings and the front view port Quote

Bricky Dee Williams Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Seriously, its still completely wrong.... the color, the wings and the front view port Oh!!! I didn't even notice that the wings still don't fold! That is so bad! Where exactly did you get this info? Insider? Just trust him, it's what he does that matters, not how he does it. Plus, those with sources aren't allowed to disclose. Quote
Gremer Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Does that apply to Ep. III, or is it an Imperial one? I'm guessing it'l be Ep. III, since we've been getting a lot of III stuff recently.If so, this is a perfect chance for a new Luminara. Come on LEGO! Quote
