Panthro Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Finally got to see the two micro fighters. I love them, you can tell the x-wing pilot is based off of this character! http://heroicunivers...akens-leak1.jpg Isn't that JJ Abrams' friend, Greg Grunberg? Quote
markw Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Childhood friend I believe yes. Shows up in a lot of his films & programmes. Quote
large88 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Isn't that JJ Abrams' friend, Greg Grunberg? Childhood friend I believe yes. Shows up in a lot of his films & programmes. That would be Gorwyn in the movie I believe... Quote
CT-22-2759 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks to the FO Snowspeeder Microfighter, there is now a cheaper way at getting the FO Snowtrooper. However I am Most Displeased At The Lack Of His Kama. Quote
Richpepperell Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 The microfighter snowspeeder looks closer in size to the source material than the full sized version does. I think that between the 2 sets, it should be possible to MOC something more screen accurate - just a case of waiting for some more images... roll on the Force Awakens Visual Dictionary. Quote

However I am Most Displeased At The Lack Of His Kama. Yeah it's much better than 40$ set. I just surprised that Lego choose Snowspeeder instead of FO TIE. I wanted that pilot for cheap. Quote

However I am Most Displeased At The Lack Of His Kama. I didn't even pay attention to the missing Kama! That is annoying, maybe it can be bricklinked? Otherwise maybe I reconsider purchasing the FO Snowspeeder set instead. Quote
Bolingbroke Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 good thing they come without the kama, i hate those. to each his own i guess. Quote
Venkefedo Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Ironically, the snowspeeder microfighter seems more accurately sized than the full size one. Glad I can get a snowtrooper cheaply, but bummed that there's no butt-cape. I expected the X-wing to include a droid head like the OT one. The lack of a droid head is the most disappointing part for me... whether a BB-8 head in another deco (to represent a BB-8-style droid or a mini R2, whichever) or an R5 cone or R2 round head with brand-new deco ala the OT X-wing MF, either would've worked... we know some of the new X-wings have OT-esque astromechs including R5s, R6s (formerly EU-only), and even the new R0s (cones between squat R5s and tall OT R4s). The latter would require a new element, tho... Would love to get an official Lego "R6" in one of the upcoming sets in the next year or two, tho... Quote

The last X-wing had the head piece of R2-X2 which if you also bought the advent calander with the christmas tree R2 you can combine it to make a full R2-X2 mini figure. I really want the new R6 series astromechs as they are present on the resistance X-wings in The Force Awakens and also a new LEGO dome piece is present for the resistance battle pack and the droid escape so that piece might come to use? Also give more love to the R4 units! We have a Lothal astromech but no R4? Come on... Quote
Gadzooks Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I didn't even pay attention to the missing Kama! That is annoying, maybe it can be bricklinked? Otherwise maybe I reconsider purchasing the FO Snowspeeder set instead. They're rather expensive on BL at the moment. It's almost more cost effective to just buy the whole Snowtrooper. Quote
Renegade Clone Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Hmm, Brickset has rumblings that several new waves (including Star Wars) will be released on Boxing Day. Quote
Vectormatic Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Cool, technic rumoured for dec 1st, i want that getaway car Quote
CM4Sci Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I really want some Nexo Knights before Christmas... We should see Takodana soon Quote
Chilly_Productions Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) We should see Takodana soon I think I wet myself a little when you said that. Did any of you see the French shopping magazine (It has been removed from the internet, I have the PDF saved), it has a teaser image of a pile of parts from the Battle of Takodana set.

Quote
Terrynomnoms Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 does it have bb 8 on it? I think it's a rehashed version of the Rey's Speeder image with a lot more brown and a tree if I remember rightly... (so yep, BB8) Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I'm still wondering why that set hasn't been revealed/leaked yet... Maz Kanata is clearly visible on the official poster and parts of her castle and the battle it's involved in have been shown in some of the TV trailers, so there's nothing left for the set to spoil The movie counterpart of the Resistance Troop Transport on the other hand has yet to be revealed and we still got a picture of the LEGO version Quote
just2good Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 While I heard the set will have Kylo, what if it has him unmasked or something?! There may be a spoiler there. Quote
CM4Sci Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Not a spoiler. This image has been out for months. Quote
Venkefedo Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 It's possible that Kylo's got some cybernetics or scarring or something that the Vanity Fair pic was intended not to spoil (whatever it could be, it'd have to leave his hair untouched as we see his hair from behind in the trailer as he approaches Finn)... Maybe not likely, just possible. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) While I heard the set will have Kylo, what if it has him unmasked or something?! There may be a spoiler there. Perhaps that's why they saved the set for January, so it would come after the movie to not spoil anything. Edited November 17, 2015 by amazingbricks Quote
Chilly_Productions Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) does it have bb 8 on it? Yes, like the teaser for Rey's speeder. Perhaps that's why they saved the set for January, so it would come after the movie to not spoil anything. The battle packs don't reveal spoilers, but they are also coming out after the movie. I thought someone despatching the sets would have taken pictures by now. Edited November 17, 2015 by Chilly_Productions Quote
Capt Winters Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I know this is still a while a way, but I hope that we get a new AT-ST in the summer since they're in battlefront Quote

I posted that a while back, yeah. People thought it was fake because of the bad rendering and typos. Quote
