Markalus Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 Here's a special May the Fourth wallpaper advertising the LEGO TFA game, featuring some interesting new mini figures - I know they won't be actually be produced, but they do look pretty cool! And they tease us with a proper chrome Captain Phasma... Quote
Venkefedo Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 I would love a Sidon Ithano minifig. Yes. Both him & Quiggold! (and Kix, tho we've yet to see what Kix looks like as part of their crew--if he's still part of their crew at the time of TFA, of course) Quote
x105Black Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Love that Crimson Corsair, but Phasma is the best looking minifigure there. I really want a chrome Phasma. Quote
just2good Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Here's a look at the Eclipse Fighter! Edited May 5, 2016 by just2good Quote
Venkefedo Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Nice! Seeing more pics like that certainly makes the ship look more enjoyable to me. Next-gen Grievous fighter. Still kinda annoyed that Lego "spoiled" her dual nature as "Jedi" and "darksider"... but given the deco of the ship, I guess it was unavoidable (not many Jedi would tool around in a black ship with dark red trim & a red canopy). Torso & leg print is nice! Dengar looks good; I like the switch to dark browns & a white torso. Nice detailing. Not sure the new face print is necessarily an improvement over the previous one, but the change from "bandana" to "bandage wrap" sure is! Kinda wish he had leg printing, but no big deal... plain dark brown legs are still pretty awesome on their own. Quote
Kman860 Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) This confirmed I'm going to buy this set Edited May 5, 2016 by Kman860 Quote
MartinCliffe Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Yep, looks worth getting. The UK price sucks though (and the HK price always sucks) so I'll have to pick it up in the US in July. Quote

Would be great if he and the other two aliens are due to appear in an upcoming set. The designs actually look like they could be real minifigures unlike some of the other characters from the video game. Quote
ChiefPie Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 That set does look cool. Dengars face looks like something from a polished up cartoon. The othe minifig is quite interesting. Will pick it up mainly for Dengar. Quote
Richpepperell Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I love Dengar, the other minifigure is pretty useful and the ship is nice, but 35 quid just seems a bit steep. Maybe if there was one more minifigure, even an astromech would do. I think it's going to be outside my budget, especially with RO sets following in a couple of months. Quote
Sucram Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Does anyone know the price of the Eclipse Fighter in Australia? Quote
JekPorkchops Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Shame that there are no controls or details in the cockpit. But it's a very good deal for the price. I love the minifigs and the little speeder bike, and the ship has a nice dual function. Quote
x105Black Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I don't really care about Dengar, but he looks good. I'm more interested in the other character. Might BrickLink her, but I can always use black and dark red parts so I may just buy the set. Quote
RetroInferno Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Do you guys think SW may ever make the switch to super hero type of cloth for capes? I understand the need of one for this set ( as she woulnt fit in that tiny cockpit ). Quote
HawkLord Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Both minifigures look great. I like the markings on her face in both light and dark modes. Her lightsaber holy is the same type as Asajj, which I'm sure is not connected in some fictional, but is a nice departure from the standard hilt. Dengar looks great and maybe with some brown printed legs (dare I say, Han's) he would be the definitive version of the character. Plus, black and dark red flats... Quote
Junior Shark Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Speeder's nice, the fighter is nothing to write home about, Dengar is beautiful, but it's that female Dark Sider that takes the cake for me. I love the white printing on her normal face. Quote
Forresto Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 A set where the vehicles are okay but the figures are amazing! Quote
Stan-Lee Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Do you guys know exactly how to get the first order general yet? (I live In scandinavia btw) Quote
Junior Shark Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Do you guys know exactly how to get the first order general yet? (I live In scandinavia btw) No idea. He's only been available in Singapore or Hong Kong through a Toys R Us promotion. Oh, and I think a member on here got him at a Toys R Us in... the Netherlands (?). Odds are he'll either be released in Toys R Us in your area or through a Shop @ home promotion. Quote

Oh okay thanks for the info. Gonna go check the toys r us one of these days and if i dont find out where to get it then i guess i will just have to buy it from a guy from here who is Selling it for 10£... Quote

They are on Bricklink for like €13-14. I bought one last week for €14 with shipping so I guess that's an okay price. Most sellers are from Scandinavia or Russia. http://alpha.brickli...":0,"reg":"-1"} Brickset also had this listed as a note: [EU] Offered in some brand stores during the May the Fourth promotion, 2016 Edited May 5, 2016 by Kevii23 Quote
Forresto Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Is her cape in the eclipse fighter set a different material? It appears thicker and of better quality then most other Lego Capes i've seen. Especially when compared to the paper thin ones found in the Shadow Trooper Battle Pack *shudder* Quote
HawkLord Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 It's the new softer cape that some of the Marvel sets have. It allows minifigures to sit in chairs and vehicle seats and whatnot. Quote

Especially when compared to the paper thin ones found in the Shadow Trooper Battle Pack *shudder* Paper thin capes? I don't think they are any different than the other ones in the SW line but I could be wrong. Just ordered that set during the promo. On the other hand, was the rumored set list mentionned by BrickVault for Rogue One viable? He mentionned a Tie, X-Wing, At-St, unamed drop-ship and an imperial landspeeder? Seems rather unlikely that 3 x-wing models would be on sale at the same time... Edited May 5, 2016 by RetroInferno Quote
pittpenguin123 Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 And they tease us with a proper chrome Captain Phasma... Who cares about phasma! Look at that Anti-Traitor stick! Or that cross blade. Quote
