Brickity Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 But you posting here makes us think the same thing. Vicious circle. :( HAHA yeah. When I see his name as the last post, my mind automatically goes toward "pictures!" Quote
Actor Builder Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 HAHA yeah. When I see his name as the last post, my mind automatically goes toward "pictures!" If it were pictures, his name would not be the last post. It would be buried under thousands of useless opinion responses and early critiques. Then once some of us actually found the pictures pages and pages back, they would have been just removed due to being preliminary or whatever. Quote

I probably won't be the one to post pictures of it. Quote
Alpinemaps Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 IIRC, the BvS Batmobile and the Constraction TFA Stormtrooper were revealed at SDCC last year... and when has anything been revealed on schedule lately, anyway? I think we'll see this before the 21st... You're right. Temple of Airjitsu was the other set that was revealed at SDCC last year. Quote
Robert8 Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) I expect something as beautiful as this MOC Edited June 28, 2016 by Robert8 Quote
deskp Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 I expect something as beautiful as this MOC Meh, to me that's basically just 'pixelart', just throw enough pieces in and you can make most things. but it looks dull. Quote
Alonzo Brickovsky Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 I only hope it will be a castle mostly and not some caricature of a castle with various subbuilds. It would hurt... as I'm buying it anyway. Quote
legofanbubba Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 My impatient inner 5 year old is coming out haha. A whole month for pics seems oh so far away! Quote

BrickJagger Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 I only hope it will be a castle mostly and not some caricature of a castle with various subbuilds. It would hurt... as I'm buying it anyway. That would be highly disappointing, and up until recently that option was out of the question until that Hoth set was unveiled. I have very high expectations for this set though. Quote
Tech Artist Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I expect something as beautiful as this MOC For a second I thought that was a real picture and I got so excited. Then I read your sentence and was disappoint. :( I do want to see something as detalited as that but I just think it will be more simple. Detailed but not overly detailed. Probably a lot of smooth walls like CM4 was saying. Quote
Pop Star c o Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 LEGO, please, give us some images! It's so long. It's cruel. You keep us in ignorance! Quote
Alonzo Brickovsky Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I wonder about piece count. I don't expect it to be as generous as GB HQ, but it should be in line with overpriced exclusives like Batcave or Hoth. If the price $350 is correct, I say between 3200 and 3300 pieces. Not optimistic for sure, but I wouldn't expect more. Quote
BlockLogo Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 More minifigures will probably mean fewer pieces. Quote
Master of Fear Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Maybe not we could get the same amount as the GBHQ set or a couple more than that if I were to guess. I mean the set is $350. Quote
BlockLogo Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) I thought it was $400? And so much goes into pricing and piece count it's hard to predict, but the number of minifigures has a big effect I think. To illustrate with a couple of recent D2Cs: Assault on Hoth had a pretty poor price per piece, but had 15 figs. GBHQ had a much better ppp but "only" 8 figures and 3 ghosts. Big Ben has a fantastic ppp but zero minifigures. Edited June 30, 2016 by BlockLogo Quote
Alonzo Brickovsky Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Hoth and Big Ben are extreme examples for sure. One thing is certain - it would not be ppp of the latter... Actually we can't tell yet how much they pay for the licence. Disney CMFs were not more expensive than other lines, but we did get less accessories. Star Wars is now Disney and pricing is ridiculous. But this will be the first "pure Disney" set. We can also try to compare it to Simpsons, "D2C Minifigure Sets" as well. They were average 0.85$ per piece and six minifigs for $200. So... 4100 pcs and 9 minifigs? Doesn't sound bad. I never play these guessing games before a release, but being totally Disney-biased, I only think about this set. Quote
CM4Sci Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 If the current list of minifigures is correct, as in those are all the figures we're getting, they'd only be taking up.. about 20 pieces. Doesn't make much of a difference. Quote
Jarreth2 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Wish they would do some teaser images .. like a close up shot of one of the turrets perhaps ! Quote
Alonzo Brickovsky Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 If the current list of minifigures is correct, as in those are all the figures we're getting, they'd only be taking up.. about 20 pieces. I know, but their number is essential for the ppp and I was just trying to guess how many pieces it might have... Doesn't matter anyway. Just two more weeks! Quote
