Legoman123 Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Do we actually have any idea what the next UCS sets are or is this all just speculation and wish lists? Quote
BrickLord123 Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Any idea when we'll get prelims for the summer sets? Or when they will be revealed? Last year it was at a toy fair if I remember correctly. Quote
benderisgreat Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Some pictures of summer sets. Vader Transformation looks great, and so does Republic Tank. Surprisingly enough Freemaker sets look better than first 2 from 2016. Edited December 29, 2016 by benderisgreat Sorry had to take link down, to avoid problems. But pics are still Quote
Hoth Rebel Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Tank looks good, what is the 'big' set? Quote
Deathstroke77 Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Interesting. So it's Burned Anakin, Vader and Palpatine for Vader Transformation, which is neat, the Arrowhead looks cool and so does the Tracker set, though I doubt I'll buy them. However, these are quite disappointing. Not very appealing to me, but there's more sets we'll see, and those seem to just be Freemaker sets, a CW set and an Episode III set. I think there'll be more movie stuff in there as well. Quote

wesker Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Its hard to make out the details of the Darth Vader Transformation set but I like what I see so far. It looks to be a nice size and has an interesting shape. Surprised they didn't include a 2-1B Medical Droid. The Republic Tank also looks pretty good. Glad we're getting a movie Aayla Secura but I'm disapointed we seem to be getting a generic Clone Trooper instead of Commander Bly. 2017 is definitely turning out to be a disapointing year in terms of new characters from the OT/PT movies. The Freemaker sets are an improvement over this years selection but they still feel like a wasted product to me. They never sell and there's so much more they could be making from the 8 movies, Rebels and Clone Wars instead. Quote
robertgorman2505 Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Vader transformation is a definite buy for me. Looks awesome! Quote
BrickLord123 Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 The battle pack says, "First Order Transport Speeder Battle Pack" So we're getting a transport speeder of some sorts. Quote
OrangeChiliPeP Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Looks like an Ithorian in the "Tracker" Set... Quote
DarthPotato Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 The Republic Fighter Tank looks like the best of the bunch so far; it's always great to get more Prequel Jedi with normal eyes. The Arrowhead actually looks like an interesting design, but since it's a Freemaker set, I'm not really interested in it. Hopefully we'll see the other sets soon! Quote
Tariq j Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Vader transformation looks great, it seems to lack the half completed look that the Duel of the Fates had. The mini figure range looks pretty diverse in that freemakers set. And I look of the tank. Quote
Ashnflash Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Exciting stuff! I really like the Darth Vader transformation and the Tank set looks pretty cool. Looking forward to hopefully seeing the others! But @benderisgreat thanks for the link but I think you'd better take the link down before mods do it for you . Quote
Jedi-Bendu Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 The 'Tracker' sets are from the Freemaker Adventures? Quote

Out of curiosity was the clone shown a PI or a PII? Quote
StarWars8Spoiler Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Ah, I was right about the Republic Tank being a new version of the 2008/2009 set. Looks fantastic even if it's much smaller than the original. Same to the rest of the wave. The Freemaker sets actually look appealing to me, especially The Arrowhead. The other one bears a strong resemblance to a TIE Phantom, interestingly enough. I wish I could see more of the Vader Transformation set. Quote

Still only very rough and preliminary so nothing's set in stone. Personally I am still hoping that we'll get a Bly. Quote
Capt Winters Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 I really like the Republic Fighter Tank, like others have said, even if it's smaller. Also there are still those three mystery sets on Brickset. Any chance those could be more Clone Wars sets? Quote
darththeling Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 "First Order Transport 75166" speeder is awfully close in name to the First Order Transporter set, 75103. So I guess it's a battlepack saying it's a speeder with (hopefully) 4 Ducktroopers. Does anyone recall seeing any First Order Troopers on speederbikes in Episode 7? Great chance to get the Republic Tank. It looks solid as a... tank, and it's much better than dealing with the terrifying aftermarket prices for Star Wars Republic Fighter Tank Set 7679. Quote

Round two for the Ithorian head mold and it's in another ship from some side project that is wholly uninteresting to me. Quote

Same goes for the separatists tank with its pricing on the secondary market. Quote
Nexo Bricks Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Woah, the new sets look great! The tank looks really cool, as does the Freemaker set. The Vader Transformation looks so good! I cannot wait to get that one. Anyone else notice the tiny part of the Quadjumper peaking out? Hoping for Obi Wan's Episode 2 Starfighter and Hair. Quote
Delta Customs Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Are you guys looking at the preliminary pictures or the actual built versions? Because apprently there are pictures of both. Quote
