LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

???

I meant J2G.

J2G any shoretroopers?

[Venkefedo]

This is wrong besides the stuff I said. I'll assume you're guessing just based on what I said.

The big tip-off for me that it was fake (besides the "new member gets a scoop, just after a reliable source posts some observations!" thing) is that it calls the Imperial tank "Imperial Shore Tank" and it only comes with a couple Shoretroopers (and Chirrut)... It's a common misconception for those who don't pay attention, but Shoretroopers are not the same as the Tanktroopers we saw in the teaser and the leaked VSG pages. I suppose Lego could make the same mistake by not paying attention (Yularen's pants!), or by having few materials provided to them for designing the sets, but it still stood out as something inaccurate within the list itself.

Ahh the question is will Lego give Director Krennic the correct pants? After all his uniform is of the same cut and style as Yularen. White tunic, black pants.

I've heard mention in the past that Lego bases their designs off of concept art. Is this true?

Very true unfortunately

[just2good]

J2G any shoretroopers?

I don't know how those look, are those the tan armored ones? Those are in a set, or are they the white armored ones with this cool new helmet? Those are in another set.

Hi j2g, after a good night sleep, did some of the aliens ring an OT bell per chance?

One looks funny. He has a moulded head he looks really ragged, with short hair and ears. Like Unkar Plutt's son or something.

[x105Black]

Like Unkar Plutt's son or something.

With the time frame being what it is, he might be Unkar Plutt's daddy!

[RONYSTEVENS123]

So, It looks as if I am "posting false information" from a worker or some sort of job title from P.B. I apologise for that, I won`t be posting any lists that I am giving again to prevent any "speculation" aswell.

Hello, Would you maybe post these pics or blur some pictures out to tease and post here or on your YouTube or even better... Link us to them?

now that we know he will never post any thing with this account again.

Yularen's pants are tougher to track down, since they're only barely visible in his second scene when he's wearing a hat, too, but Krennic's are visible from the teaser, Celebration poster, etc... so they should give him the right ones

I think the concept art thing is true, considering Kylo's shuttle and some other odd choices for characters/builds in various licensed sets.

[TheBrickBuilder14]

Its sort of logical that Lego would work from concept art, atleast with the initial wave. I imagine that it would take quite some time to create a set and mass produce it so the sooner they can start the better by the time the real material is visible it would be too late to make the sets release on time.

Still like I said they only work form concept art initially so you can always count on getting a more accurate representation of a figure/vehicle/scene later down the line. So there will be no new Stormtroopers coming with the new sets then? Good to know as I was holding of getting some of the current ones because Lego likes to change them so much from time to time.

[Actor Builder]

This has been an entertaining read. If the grammar were better it might have qualified as literature, even.

[djmangunz]

This may be a longshot but would anyone happen to know which store the Ahsoka set will be exclusive to in the United States?

Wasn't it Toys r us exclusive?

[djmangunz]

That's what I suspected but I wasn't sure if there was a confirmation of that yet. I was surprised that no one had found it in Toys "R" Us yet since they are normally the ones who put the sets out early. Thanks man!

[pittpenguin123]

I saw all the new sets at my local TRU, And the eclips fighter was 20 i though it was 40?

Quiet! They'll hear you and change it!

[Alexastor]

Just for those wondering what the differences between the Shore and Tank troopers are:

[Sneakguest]

At least I'm happy that the molded head are increasing again, I actually counted, didn't start from the beginning, but I have checked since 2009 and the amount of molded heads had increased steadily up to the peek of 2014, where together with the monsters, there was 10 molded heads (also including new droid head molds) but in 2015 there were only 2!!! Tusken Raider and BB-8, I really don't know why, if Anyway, so at least so far this year we are up in 5, + at least one more now in the rouge one sets. I hope that 2015 was just a bad exception and that lego are not starting to get lazy or actually replacing the mining molds with the buildable figures, if thats the case, please stop making them!

[Amazing Bricks]

The minifigures are pretty much the same from the poster huh? I knew it, some doubted we would see those.

[Capt Winters]

Do you guys think that the earliest we'll see pics of a set or figures is at SDCC or do will we see them some time before that?

[Amazing Bricks]

If we're really lucky, we can see them at SDCC. But if it's like the force awakens sets, we'll see them after comic con.

The doubts are still valid; Andor's hair/beard color is wildly inaccurate, goggles can't attach to Bodhi's Kanan hair piece, Chirrut's eyes probably shouldn't look like Jek-14s, Baze should probably have Thorin hair rather than Ezra hair (tho that'd probably interfere with a backpack), etc.

Well, j2g said they're pretty much the same thing. Of course that could mean minor changes, but I'm not expecting anything major.

Those exclusive sets don't come out at the same time.
