Pulp Detective Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Here's a closer look at the Turbo Tank Quote
StarWars8Spoiler Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Here's a closer look at the Turbo Tank Well it looks great! The minifigures are a nice selection and I like the design as a whole, but are the wheels supposed to be that massive? Quote
nutzaboutpoker86 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Here's a closer look at the Turbo Tank Funny how they have no camera signs around - while a LEGO rep knowingly talks to a guy holding a camera. Quote
markw Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Can't believe the video cut out just as they got to all the new minifigs! Quote
Jbricks Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Is there some kind of rule that a battle droid has to be in every advent calendar? The even slipped IG-88 into the last one to cover that slot! White Chewbacca looks alright, but with that head on a regular body it wouldn't look quite right to how snowy Chewbacca looks in the movie. "Snowtrooper" snowman looks more like an imperial general's helmet. The Bespin guard makes me feel much better about not getting UCS Slave One. Quote
darththeling Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Sabine blue hair confirmed! There appears to be no helmet... lol. :) The camber of the A Wing wings is nice... but 1 stud thick? Hmmm... Love the smaller size of the Turbo Tank. For those of us that are space poor - that's just the ticket. By contrast Rex's AT-TE looks big... maybe just the angle? Awwww.... no Big Bongo!! (joopa) Jakku build is... surprisingly substantial. Wow, I'm very impressed TLG. Awnings and a few vendor spaces it looks like. Maybe even Plutt's portion station?? Outstanding. Maybe we'll get those portion pieces after all! EDIT: Just saw the video... Teedo has an elongated head! Edited January 29, 2016 by darththeling Quote
Jedi-Bendu Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Here's a closer look at the Turbo Tank Wait. Descriptions of the sets (at Brickset) had to be taken down because LEGO asked for that.....pix were not allowed by LEGO...........but a video presentation is ok???? I don't get it...... Quote
fighterpilot105 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 According to Brickset, 75148 Encounter on Jakku will cost $80 American, 75147 Star Scavenger will cost $70 American, 75150 TIE Advanced and A-wing will cost $100 American, and 75151 Clone Turbo Tank as well as 75157 AT-TE are both $130 each. Good God. Good god is right. $80 US for Encounter on Jakku? That's already crazy and I'm from Canada so can you imagine what it'll cost with the Canadian Dollar so low? Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Great to see that Luminara's garb finally has the right colour, just as I hoped The minifig lineup looks excellent as well Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 75148 Encounter on Jakku will cost $80 American Hah, screw that. Quote
bountybossk Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Based on that video I'm almost certain Dengar is in the hideous "space Batwing" set. Quote
Jedi-Bendu Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 According to Brickset, 75148 Encounter on Jakku will cost $80 American, That's 20 more than the Takodana set (which I bought even though its overpriced). This one looks like it has the same amount of pieces and has a less good minifig lineup. Quote

Also if you look at it that way the grey 3PO is next to a brown Gonk and what looks like Lars homestead, could it be EP1 3PO?

darththeling Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Did any of us really expect the prices to be reasonable?? Start lowering (raising?) your expectations. Or just get another job... one just to fund this wave of Lego! That little dinky vaporator on Jakku (X Wing) is pretty minimal, though. Glad I'm not in the market for another ST-era X Wing. Quote
Robianco Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Well, it appears that TLG are going to give me a Christmas that I've long dreamt of! A Bespin Guard, plus what looks rather like an E-3PO, in the Advent Calendar - that's got to be a good indication that we're destined for some Cloudy City sets! I'm going to be buying multiples of this, great work TLG! Yeah. I was tempted to pick up some of the Bespin Guards recently on the aftermarket to make up some ethnically diverse guards as per Kenner figures but it looks like I won't have to now. Quote
StarWars8Spoiler Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Glad I'm not in the market for another ST-era X Wing. Well at least it's LBG instead of white like I feared. Quote
BigEl Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) After seeing the video I am pretty certain now that I will not(!) get the Clone Turbo Tank. With a retail price of 130 dollars (meaning 130 Euros of course ) that is not nearly enough. It is a lot more expensive than the last two Turbo Tanks but a lot smaller? What are they doing? The suspension looks to be decent, but everything else is a big letdown. It is as inaccurate and even more stubby than the first versions, extremely hollow and ugly from the inside (+Sniper/Scout-Tower looks pathetic). Minifigs are uninteresting to me, but that said I just dont get why theres another Gree in the set since we got one already with the AT-AP. So yeah, that set is now gone from my wanted list, now only the Resistance X-Wing remaining and maaaaybe the TIE Advanced/A-Wing. That A-Wing is hideous. Wow, you think? I really like its looks even though i am not a fan of the A-Wing in general. Interesting how much taste can differ I guess Edited January 29, 2016 by BigEl Quote

StarWars8Spoiler Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Well with this disaster of a summer wave one can only wonder how bad the Rogue One sets will be, and what kind of disappointment to expect in 2017. Quote
HawkLord Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 According to Brickset, 75148 Encounter on Jakku will cost $80 American, 75147 Star Scavenger will cost $70 American, 75150 TIE Advanced and A-wing will cost $100 American, and 75151 Clone Turbo Tank as well as 75157 AT-TE are both $130 each. Good God. Wow, I'm kinda priced out on this wave. The cheapest set is really $70? What happened to the $20-40 price point? Are other theme's summer waves this spendy? Quote
StarWars8Spoiler Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 The cheapest set is really $70? What happened to the $20-40 price point? Are other theme's summer waves this spendy? Well 75145 SHOULD be cheaper, but I remember hearing a $40 tag on that one. Quote
Jayoheazy Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 What is on the top right on the table? Can't make it out but looks like a traveling store or something? Quote
BigEl Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 No information on how expensive the X-Wing is going to be? Besides, I would treat those prices still a bit with care, since we still dont know how many parts its going to be for the sets. But I do agree that just by the looks of it its going to be a good bit overpriced. Quote
ChiefPie Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 So I watched that video and rex and wolffe don't get helmets? That's a bummer. Quote
