BaneShake Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 With the almost-repeat Stormtrooper, and the odd Hoth collection-of-little-scenes set, Star Wars seems to be making a few odd choices at the moment. Here's hoping Lego picks up the slack. Quote
mediumsnowman Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Well that is certainly disappointing. I was expecting TFA Luke. Quote
ChiefPie Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 There accually is new printing. I know I guess the way I said it sounded different. Quote
Fenom Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 This is the most dissapointing thing since Star Wars Episode 1. Ironic, considering your profile picture Quote
Markalus Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 To paraphrase The Lego Movie; "that is literally the dumbest thing I've ever seen". "That idea is just. The worst.". Quote
bountybossk Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Well... That's the third disappointment in a row. First the UCS Hoth Assault, then Unkar's brute fig and now this generic and highly uninteresting "exclusive". Quote
Dosenbrot Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) The best thing ever would be if he had a new, even more angry clone face! Edited March 23, 2016 by Dosenbrot Quote
BaneShake Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 The best thing ever would be if he had a new, even more angry clone face! Don't give them any ideas!!! Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Hopefully we get some unique face print, a Daniel Craig face would be great. Quote
wesker Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Very dissapointing exclusive considering there's so many better characters they could have picked from. Quote
Sion Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I was really looking forward to getting the May the 4th figure but not anymore. The thing that gets me the most is the name is just 'First Order Stormtrooper' which is so generic for a "exclusive" figure. TLG seem to be repeatedly disappointing fans this year. Let's hope the rogue one sets are good. Quote
Krulis Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I may be only person here who likes this polybag. Nice fig for free. Also his torso print is new - he has pockets on left strap. Quote
x105Black Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 LOL THE MAY THE FOURTH FIGURE IS SO CRAPPY It's a Stormtrooper. Wow. http://i.imgur.com/TkO8kQN.png Hate to be negative, but this is just sad. Quote
atlas Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Actually it is accurate! There is one "heavy" stormtrooper on Jakku hunting Finn and Rey who wears a backpack and has a regular blaster. Nevertheless... this give me absolutely no reason to buy anything on May the 4th. What the hell... This makes it even harder to understand why they didn't include Leia in the Assault on Hoth set... But the female minifig quota had already been filled! Quote
Rogue Angel Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I had been waiting to pick up the Tydirium specifically for May the 4th. I guess will just be picking it up from TRU or Target on sale. What a disappointment! Quote
Fenom Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Hopefully we get some unique face print, a Daniel Craig face would be great. That would be a nice surprise, though Craig played a regular Stormie, so that's unlikely Quote
Kman860 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Actually, I don't think there /is/ a May 4th figure this year. That can't be it... Well, unfortunately that calendar says April 30-May 4th, but should say April 1st. Hopefully the Rogue One sets and UCS DS will make up for a (in my opinion) so far crappy year of Star Wars sets .. Really disappointed in that figure.. Oh no... imagine what the Death Star's gonna be like.. To be fair the 1H Technic sets were really disappointing to most of us in the Technic forum, but the 2H sets are amazing, if that gives anyone any hope. That would be a nice surprise, though Craig played a regular Stormie, so that's unlikely Daniel Craig was in TFA?! Quote
Richpepperell Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 For me, it's not that there's anything wrong with the minifigure - I'd be happy to have one - but I just don't care about not getting it, which is a real shame for a May 4th exclusive. In fact, if they were giving us a storm trooper, I'd almost prefer a standard FO storm trooper to build up my army. A though this talk of a Daniel Craig made me wonder - could we be getting our first female trooper? Quote
BigEl Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 And here I hoped we would get EP7 Luke but oh noooo, that would be way too expensive (prints you know, they cost a fortune obviously...) for Lego who already earns mountains of money. Its pretty obvious how the quality of Lego drops into near abysmal territory when they are just too comfortable with their financial situation (No wonder after the ep7 boost) Quote
tafkatb Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 See, what did I tell you? "But she's got a new hat pocket print!" Quote
CM4Sci Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Daniel Craig was in TFA?! Yeah, he was the Stormie Rey mind tricked to let her loose. Quote
Kman860 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Yeah, he was the Stormie Rey mind tricked to let her loose. Thanks for telling me! :sweet: Edited March 24, 2016 by Kman860 Quote
Forresto Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 The thing is that additional ammo packet they added isn't even canon as i can't seem to find a picture of any heavy FO stormtroopers like that. Really Lego? I'm not even mad it's not Ponda, that was more of a joke then anything. How is the First Order General a better polybag then this? Why didn't they switch it? Make the May 4th figure the TRU exclusive and FO General the May 4th Exclusive! Quote
jhaelego Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Ironic, considering your profile picture Oh don't get me wrong. The podrace is fantastic. The rest of the movie though(excluding the duel of the fates), is bantha poodoo. Actually it is accurate! There is one "heavy" stormtrooper on Jakku hunting Finn and Rey who wears a backpack and has a regular blaster. Nevertheless... this give me absolutely no reason to buy anything on May the 4th. What the hell... This makes it even harder to understand why they didn't include Leia in the Assault on Hoth set... While you are correct that the FO heavy gunner on jakku does have a backpack and regular gun, it still doesn't have the extra pockets on the straps. Edited March 24, 2016 by jhaelego Quote
BrickJagger Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 A little late to this, but the word "Exlusive" being used to describe a regular stormie with a pocket forces my hand. Quote
