Vectormatic Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 more Rebels sets: new inquisitors, crap! -- my wallet seriously though, im digging the empire sets from rebels a lot, if i had the cash id totally get the assault carrier as well (have the Tie in box reserved for christmas, and the AT-DP is in the mail) Quote
Pulp Detective Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Which, Bespin Freezing Chamber, Obi-Wan Starfighter, Droid Escape, all that? True. No TFA sets??Now that's a bummer Now we'll have to wait untill january to get them,not to mention Legos secrecy with those sets will keep them hidden untill the last few weeks before release.And I'm really excited for the Hall of Mirrors(sounds like a location based set).Any way thanks for the heads up.

Only TFA sets in the catalog were 2 battlepacks and 2 microfighters. I don't think I got any images for the other sets, and if I did they'd be blacked out. Quote

CM4Sci Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 What about Battle of Takodana and Pirate Transport sets? Or are they just rumors? I can't confirm. I don't think they were on Amazon or the S@H database, I don't know where those rumors even started. Quote
benderisgreat Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) I can't confirm. I don't think they were on Amazon or the S@H database, I don't know where those rumors even started. So January wave will only have 2 TFA Microfighters and 2 Battlepacks then? Well, then it seems like I will be saving a lot of money. Thanks for the answer.

BrickTamland Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I can't confirm. I don't think they were on Amazon or the S@H database, I don't know where those rumors even started. I actually think this rumors pretty solid, per CapnRex101 on Brickset: Finn is one of the most important characters in The Force Awakens so it is a shame that he is only included in the most expensive set. However, I happen to know that he will appear in a much cheaper set in the next wave so try to resist paying the exorbitant prices which are being charged on the secondary market at the moment if you are not intending to purchase 75105 Millennium Falcon. Not to pile on to any simmering confusion, but this post all but confirms Episode VII sets next wave. Quote
Pulp Detective Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Finn in a cheap set??!! Here's my money!!! Joking aside I hope the rumor's true since I'm unimpressed with what we've got thus far. Quote

It's actually really confusing. 2 separate sources give opposing information on ep 7 sets in January. I guess we just have to wait and see. Quote
TheWorldAhead Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Thanks, again, CM4Sci for the descriptions! Looks like I'll be getting Droid Escape Pod for sure (the last one I got was $6 in 2001 , and I've never owned a single Jawa), then the Carbon Freezing Chamber if I can afford it (I've never owned Han in Carbonite, and my own Boba Fett could do with an update; couldn't care less about Ugnaughts), and Hoth a distant third, if it actually looks like it would contribute anything to my snowy display. It sounds like an uninspired remake of 7749, from your description. Quote
appiah4 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Yep, it's basically the 2014 one in red. I don't recall a Rodian (Greedo) head in a set, only Bossk's as a stand-in for the Ughnaught. Oh.. Nice :) If they actually do it in red/WHITE (not grey..) then I'll get Obi-Wan's interceptor for sure. I hate PT Anakin more than I love Artoo.. Edited October 5, 2015 by appiah4 Quote
Jay_Em Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 It's actually really confusing. 2 separate sources give opposing information on ep 7 sets in January. I guess we just have to wait and see. I don't think they're in opposition- the one source just didn't see any TFA sets, that doesn't mean there won't be any. Episode 7 will be one of the biggest films in history, Lego is definitely going to be releasing sets based on it in January. Given the near-hysterical levels of secrecy surrounding the film it's not surprising information is scarce! Quote
Ultron Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Why are we suddenly now doubting the existance of the hall of mirrors and pirate transport sets? Some of you should probably calm down. They're gonna happen Quote
Vectormatic Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Oh.. Nice :) If they actually do it in red/WHITE (not grey..) then I'll get Obi-Wan's interceptor for sure. I hate PT Anakin more than I love Artoo.. Ooh, i had red/grey in my head for some reason, which made me unethusiastic at the least. Now if they do a true white/red version... I would've gotten the yellow one too if i didnt hate anakin with such a passion, the whiney brat Quote
Vectormatic Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Starfighter is grey, unfortunately. Ahh bugger Could correct it would some bricklinking i guess, but by then id be looking at a €40 interceptor, and any grey stickers would stick out. Quote
appiah4 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Starfighter is grey, unfortunately. Sad.. It's Anakin's Interceptor for me then, at least it's screen correct. Quote
Vectormatic Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Sad.. It's Anakin's Interceptor for me then, at least it's screen correct. After commenting here, i came across the 2015 thread and the discussion about the MF, white wouldve been closer to the real color of the MF, but as someone pointed out, lego white is really bright white, and wouldve ended up making the ship look shiny and new, rather then used and scarred like it should. I guess the same applies to the interceptor, it wasnt a fresh of the assembly line interceptor even at the start of the scene, and it took quite a battering Ill have to see some pics to really make my mind up on this one now, the same color combo looks pretty decent on a venator. I agree that the yellow one will probably be the better looking craft, but i just cant get myself to buy anakin.. Quote
Fives Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Starfighter is grey, unfortunately. This makes little sense, because Obi-Wan never had a grey straighter. He had his red one from the start of ROTS, and then his blue one that he flies to Utapau. Quote

I think he means grey with red decals, like anakins current set is grey with yellow decals, rather then white with red decals, such as it looks in the movie Quote

I bet the pictures he saw were the prelims and since they're not the final product I wouldn't worry about that much. Quote
benderisgreat Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 It seems weird that we are only getting 2 TFA sets in January wave. The movie is going to be huge and it would make sense to make most if not all January sets based on new movie, right? And yet we're only getting 2 allegedly. That's really strange. Also we are only getting one Rebles set? The series is getting bigger and better in season 2, and it would make sense for Lego to capitalize on it by making at least 2-3 sets with old and new characters. And yet we're only getting Kanan's Speeder set. Seems like a wasted opportunity by Lego, that is unless rumored February wave of Rebels sets is true. Quote

I mean, we're getting four TFA sets, the two battlepacks and the two bigger sets. But, it makes sense- LEGO wants them to be as accurate as possible, so waiting until the Summer wave to cover up smaller vehicles and larger vehicles for TFA seems like a good idea. Quote
CM4Sci Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Don't you mean 6? 2 battle packs, 2 micro fighters, and whatever amount of bigger sets. Quote
