I'd like to request a photo comparison with both shuttles in landing mode! A head-on picture would be great as I want to compare their heights. Thanks in advance! Got you covered. Also included 8096 & my modded 75104 as I had them on hand. Pics are a bit crappy, but hopefully they'll work. Quote

It seems like Krennic's shuttle's wings are substantially longer than the Tydirium's - that's great to see on the set, but it might be a headache for my shelf! Hopefully it still fits, heh. Quote
Jedi-Bendu Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Bad news/good news for me: my local store didn't get the new sets yesterday....but will get them on tuesday....20% below RRP. Ordered the shuttle and U-Wing and said I want to decide about the tank and AT-ST on the spot. (will get them eventually though) Quote
bountybossk Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 For those who want to see how the new AT-ST looks next to the latest AT-AT: Quote
Jedi-Bendu Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 can someone do a comparison of the new AT-ST and the one from the Endor bunker set? Thnx! Quote

Found this on Reddit, not my image. If you need more pics, I have the AT-ST coming in from Amazon pretty soon, although I'm sure someone else would be able to do it before then. Quote

Should I just get the ATST and think about the U Wing for later? The minifigures for Krennic's Shuttle are brilliant but im not sold on the design. Is it really that good? My only gripe is the black. The U-Wing is definitely worth it. One of the better Star Wars sets of the year IMHO. Krennic's Shuttle is pretty good too. If you don't like the design, blame the R1 movie designers - it is very accurate to the movie design. Quote

Wow, I hadn'r realised that the new one was that much bigger than the Endor bunker version - I thought they were going to look OK next to each other! Quote

Yeah, that's quite shocking. Now I need to decide if I'm going to update/upgrade Battle of Endor version or just leave it alone... Quote
ChiefPie Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Yeah the new one looks huge to my bunker one. I like the set more now that I have it in person. Also while I was at TRU they had a display of the shuttle and the u-wing. They both look BIG. Quote

(and a big improvement compared with the bunker version) I guess I'll grab that one as well next week! Quote

benderisgreat Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Is anybody else dissapointed in Jyn Erso in U-Wing set has unprinted legs? Every other minifigure in the set including generic rebel trooper and pilot have fully printed legs, but main hero of the movie doesn't? Just simple pistol holster would have been great and spot on accurate. Edited October 1, 2016 by benderisgreat Quote
RetroInferno Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Yeah someone used Han's pants from the TFA falcon and the result was really nice. Quote

I haven't seen one yet, so I'm not sure how accurate it is. Quote

RetroInferno Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Honestly very surprised by the Tie Stryker! The lenght, size and shape are excellent and the photos really don't make the thing justice! Quote

Yeah, that set surprised me as well - I was honestly expecting it to be my least favorite set of the wave, mainly due to the price and lack of main character minifigs. However, the build was extremely fun and somehow nostalgic to me, probably because of the fact that it used so many brightly colored bricks on the inside, much like classic SW sets. The sand blue also reminds one of the liberal use of blue in much older TIE sets, although this time it's much more subtle and works a lot better. It definitely helps that I like the in-universe design, but it's so well captured in the set. As a result, I think it's the nicest looking and most well-realized TIE to date. Now I think the entire RO wave is ridiculously solid and I don't have a least favorite. They're all fantastic sets, in my opinion. Edited October 2, 2016 by Nokturn Quote

I don't own any of the sets yet, but based on reviews I've seen, the RO wave looks to be one of the best SW waves in recent history! I don't think any single one of the sets is a misstep or a bore. It's the first wave in a long while where I really want to purchase all the sets, if not for budgetary and space constraints. Quote
