pittpenguin123 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 has the may 4th poly bag bin confirmed yet? If not maybe it will be Matt Radar Technician. Quote
benderisgreat Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 has the may 4th poly bag bin confirmed yet? If not maybe it will be Matt Radar Technician. Matt radar technician would beat old Luke as May 4 promo for me! Quote
kylosuperfan Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Matt radar technician would beat old Luke as May 4 promo for me! I really want an old Luke, so I hope he shows up somewhere accessible to everyone. Is it confirmed that the 'First Order General' or 'FN-2187' polybag isn't a May 4 promo?

SonofTheShire Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 has the may 4th poly bag bin confirmed yet? If not maybe it will be Matt Radar Technician. Dude, Matt straight up sucks! Quote
namioik Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Any news on Rex's AT-TE? I was really excited for that, but after seeing what "Anakin's Podracer" turned out to be..... So is it just another misnomer? Or should I just wait til this weekend? Rex's AT-TE is shown in the tv show so I don't think it's just a name filler.. Quote
pittpenguin123 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Dude, Matt straight up sucks! I know what your thinking. AND ITS STUPID! Quote
Darth Malgus Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Rex's AT-TE is shown in the tv show so I don't think it's just a name filler.. Anakin's pod racer featured in a movie... Quote
Brickr Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Yup, the London Toy Fair has been moved this year so it doesn't coincide. Quote
Venkefedo Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I'm still crossing my fingers that Old Luke appears in the Chronicles of the Force book this summer. I'm going to scream if he turns out to be a $75 polybag freebee at the Lego Store (which, at the moment, appears to be Hux). You mean the First Order General? That isn't Hux... I mean, Hux is a First Order General, but probably not the only one. The polybag one has a different uniform than what's visible under the Hux minifig's coat, and an older-looking head. Quote
namioik Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Anakin's pod racer featured in a movie... Sorry, I failed to give significant evidence for my claim. I think Rex at-te is plausible because it's a new set and it's totally left field for Lego to even consider using the name just for a filler instead of something else more generic. Quote
Artemis78 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 You mean the First Order General? That isn't Hux... I mean, Hux is a First Order General, but probably not the only one.

namioik Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 What polybag ? http://brickset.com/sets/5004406-1/First-Order-General Quote
Artemis78 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 http://brickset.com/...t-Order-General Thanks, but pretty underwhelmed by it to be honest. I would have liked a Unktar or another named character Quote
namioik Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks, but pretty underwhelmed by it to be honest. I would have liked a Unktar or another named character Well I don't think that'll be May the 4th polybag so here's to hoping for something better Quote
Venkefedo Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks, but pretty underwhelmed by it to be honest. I would have liked a Unktar or another named character "Underwhelmed" is an accurate term for it... provided the First Order doesn't change their entire uniform design in VIII, we might see a new Hux figure in a set (either a later TFA or an VIII set) without his overcoat printed on, and his uniform is a little more involved than this rather general General. And it's not terribly distinct from the also-bland officer in the battle pack, who's just an exceedingly-common FO crewman with a slightly different hat (while Hux has this exact same hat and barely wears it in the film) Really he seems like he should be set-filler, not an incentive polybag. Maybe he'll just be a TRU "spend $40 on SW Lego, get General Generic!" promo that some stores will sell for $5 solo rather than a S@H/Lego Store "gift with $75 purchase" thing. As a May the 4th figure he'd be exceptionally boring. Quote
Kman860 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 "spend $40 on SW Lego, get General Generic!" This made my night :laugh: Quote
BalrogJ Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 has the may 4th poly bag bin confirmed yet? If not maybe it will be Matt Radar Technician. LOOK at my..-at Kylo Ren's lightsaber! Isn't it AWESOME! Quote
Junior Shark Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 The First Order General is going to be a TRU exclusive. It was first revealed through a Hong Kong (I think) TRU ad. It is going to be, as Venkefedo said, a "Spend $40, get General Generic" thing. Hey, if you guys don't want your First Order generals you get through that promotion, I'll be more than happy to take them off you hands! Quote

Junior Shark Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 No point in hoping it's not true.... cuz it is: http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-star-wars-the-force-awakens-first-order-general-5004406-minifigure-polybag-first-look/ The last time this happened (the TFA C-3PO) they had gajillons left over that you could buy for a couple bucks after the promotion ended. My local TRU still has those in stock. Quote
kylosuperfan Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Wow I hope it's not true. So lame.... :( But is it actually THAT lame? I mean 'General Generic' could also be dubbed 'Lieutenant Lame' and no one would know the difference. At least TFA C-3PO was a decent character. Quote
Venkefedo Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I wouldn't mind having one (or two, or three) for non-"ground crew" uniforms, the hats, and the heads (plop one on an OT Imperial body, it's great!), but it's not something I'll be racing out to TRU at opening on the promo weekend to make sure I get. (I wish my local TRUs had tons of the 3PO promos... I only made it out to a couple, but neither had any 3POs out on the pegs...maybe General Generic will be a little easier to acquire on his own since he's really not fancy at all--a Hux-style uniform sans-coat would make him much more appealing for making a Hux without a coat, but this guy? Not terribly appealing as a 'character') Quote

Junior Shark Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 +1 to Venkefedo. The head is very Imperial. First Order officer-wise, we only have Hux (in his coat ) and the gray male and female. Stocking up on the FO BP will get you lots of low-level crewmen and technicians, which need officers to order them around! I, at least, foresee several of those polybags in my possession. @ Jayoheazy Yeah, pick up a couple of those, man! One (or two) for you to open and have your way with, and another one (or two or more) for future use (selling, trading, etc.) FWIW, that's what I did. I've already used one of my TFA C-3PO bags for a trade. Quote
