LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

[Pedilego]

Between 6 & 7? I definitely welcome a simplistic recap of all the books/comics/etc that have come out that cover that timespan.

Does anybody that has a Jawa minifigure and a Hun Warrior CMF mind taking a picture of the Jawa with the Hun cape? I think his cape might match their look better than actual capes. Really, I think a skirt piece (so it drapes to their feet) would probably be best but they don't make those in brown. I might try a brown brick instead of their legs.

While some people on this forum suggested that Finn polybag was a hint that new game will be coming, I thought they just don't have enough material for a 60$ game, since their previous games we based on Trilogies. I'm still concerned by the fact that they decided to rush the game , since it's based just on one movie, not 3 like before! Unless they also include SW The Complete Saga in as well, I am concerned the game won't have enough content. Other than that I am excited about this game.

Apparently it won't be available on PC, just like Dimensions. WHY LEGO WHY? They could just put it on Steam and there would literally be no extra cost on their part for production and distribution!Ugh I really hope they release a PC version.

[Renegade Clone]

What really annoys and confuses me is why they never release a special edition with an exclusive mini-fig with any PC version of a LEGO game!!!

For example, if I want to get the Silver Centurion Ironman figure then I have to buy the X-Box, or PS4 version, then remove the mini-fig and try to sell the game on ebay.

Wrong. At the end of the announcement trailer the first box on the write says PC on it.

So we will get 5 Rogue One sets after all. Sets size also vary and a few mid sized sets. So all I need right now is to watch trailer and get some info about story to decide if I am even going to concider buying these sets.

[KyloRenegade]

After watching the trailer does anyone think there is a new Kylo lightsaber piece on the horizon? One where the quillions come out of the hilt instead of being the same piece as the blade?

[LordLEGOtube]

From the catalogue pictures it is clear that set 75156 is in a larger, more square box that looks like the size of box you'd get for a UCS set, most likely the Death Star, it ties in with the movie, and is on the poster above it.

I think that refers to the constraction figs.

Nope, if they had planned on doing that, they would have done it The current version isn't as accurate, but it required a new mould nonetheless which implies that the decision wasn't made due to time constraints.

That box isn't nearly deep enough for that Besides, the alleged Death Star set already has a set number assigned to it (75159) Also, UCS sets aren't featured in the retailer catalogues.

Will we see a new tie fighter? I guess only time will tell.

[wesker]

Of you look at the screen shots you will notice that the x wing design is vastly different from the ones that are released, especially the cannons! Also, I wonder why there are endor chewie, Han and Leia in it? Unless it's from after RoTJ to bridge the gap between movies? It would be cool if this content was based on the books that do this also.

Endor could be a prologue level like Geonosis was for the Clone Wars game.

Not likely. They'd either need to make the quillons out of unicorn horns in trans-red (not sure that's possible, as the horns traditionally are of the softer material if I'm not mistaken), or make newer short 1 or 2L bars. Or...something. Structurally I don't know that a saber-hilt size piece could support 3 openings that close together.

Getting a new handle now is about as promising as getting a double bladed hilt from the first star wars game.

[CM4Sci]

Brown on white Chewbacca? Blach, figure ruined.

Rogue One sets look exciting, can't wait to see them.

[Jbricks]

Really the best possible new mold for Kylo's hilt would be one with the same structure as every other, just also having two transred bits sticking out near the top, permanently attached.

...and an X wing probably. Then there's the slave 1...

Wait...

"Strong potential for recruitment and retention of shoppers with connection to Super IP."

Did a computer write this? It just sounds so inhuman that its hilarious.

Same, although I don't mind waiting until March, gives my wallet some time to recover. :laugh:

Yeah, my wallet needs to recover too. Building First Order armies can get expensive if you buy a ton of battlepacks.

I just hope lego will soon stop wasting precious set quantity on making buildable figures... of course I could be wrong here, but I don't know anybody who buys them, of course I'm sure there is one, but I'm also pretty sure that most people would prefer that they would make traditional sets instead

I kinda hope we'll see new ships...maybe a TIE Interceptor, since it's so overdue. There's a very real possibility those will be introduced into the timeline prior to ROTJ, after all, since we've already seen TIE Bombers, A-wings, and B-wings pre-ANH now.

As for the "computer" copy, remember this is a toy vendor catalog or something, not meant for public consumption. It's full of buzzwords and corporate speak that sounds ridiculously alien to normal people, but is second nature for people delivering powerpoint presentations to clients.

I get them, I quite like them too.

I own several of the 'helmeted' characters and I actually think they are pretty cool. Super posable and the helmet molds are fantastic.
