Same story for me, I've been looking around with Marvel stuff, I think CW release made me post something hahaha. @Deathstroke77 Yeap he even have strands of hairs hahaha! Isn't that quite pricey? 3 minifigs for small build. $25 Quote
YellowCorvette Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I know that I'm a little bit late, but these summer sets looks really good. I may personally didn't like them all, but the sets aren't as bad as most people say. I like the majority of them, except for the Advent Calendar and the Rathrar set. Something about both of these sets just seems "off" to me. What's up with all the "Fake leak" drama that goes on a few previous pages? It's pretty confusing. Quote

Deathstroke77 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I'd argue it's incredible value. You have the build, the droids, and 3 highly sought after minifigs, all of which haven't been in a such a cheap set for years. Fairly sure it has 280+ pieces, too. Quote

Looking at the artbox, is that a chrome hilt for Vader's lightsaber? Quote
YellowCorvette Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 @Brikkyy13 Thanks for the explanation. Still looking forward for more info about the Episode VIII sets (Just no more fake leaks). Quote
Deathstroke77 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Hmm, not sure. Also, check this YT channel out - it has videos taking a close look at most of the Summer sets in detail with a LEGO designer, looking at the features, too: https://www.youtube.com/user/FBTBnet/videos Quote

The MOC that someone made based on the leaked pics got it a lot nicer than the official model. Quote

Oh lets not pretend the legit leakers arent just as frustratingly and arbitrarily cryptic, and never have anything to back them up (except a history of being right, but that has to start somewhere now doesnt it). Lets not pretend that people dont actually find pictures and then refuse to even hint at where they are or how they found them. Hell it happened with the tank, what, two weeks ago? If anything this guy's mistake was claiming he had a public source, that was the biggest inconsistency with actual leaks. Edited February 19, 2017 by Magmafrost Quote
TheBrickHitHouse Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Quad jumper set looks great! Lot of fun packed into that one. Quote

If anything this guy's mistake was claiming he had a public source... I was more referring to the fact that the guy only had something like 20 posts when he started claiming he'd seen the sets, and it started right as toy fair did. No one else from toy fair said they'd seen the sets, only this guy. Quote
Hell_Hawk_33 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Not diggin' anything revealed at Toy Fair today. Especially the Quadjumper and Rathtar Escape. Would have rather seen some more Rogue One sets while it is still relevant. AT-ACT, Blue Squadron or Partisan X-Wing, Hammerhead Corvette, all come to mind. Oh well. Money saved during the summer means a bigger budget for The Last Jedi sets on Force Friday II. Quote
Legoman123 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I'm sorry but just to clarify here are we taking the episode 8 set rumours as fake now? Quote
Forresto Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I am really bothered its called Force Friday II when this is the third time around. Am I crazy? Quote

Japanbuilder Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Just saw the Brickshow posts from Toyfair and I am really excited for the small to midsize sets for Star Wars. The Advent Calendar also looks really good. Brickset also has a shot of the bounty hunter set and it looks great as well, almost too good the true! Cant wait for it. The only other thing I took note of was the stud shooters on that Rathtar set. >< Granted it doesn't seem to be for all the figures but still I hope they include both mould types going forward rather than just the stud launchers.

ToaDraco Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 An awesome wave this summer. My favorite is the Republic Fighter Tank. I missed out on the last one and I've been kicking myself ever since. I am pleasantly surpised to see that the Tracker 1 is actually a TIE Phantom! The Arrowhead is actually really great too, too bad the minifig selection isn't so great. The bounty hunter pack is still great and I love the riot shield piece in the fo battlepack. The Rathtar set is pretty sweet, as is the Quadjumper even though the minifig selection for it is pretty lackluster. Quote

I rarely buy the buildable figure stuff but this has caught my eye. No. It looks awesome. I don't normally buy constraction figures either but I reckon this will move quickly from shelves. Quote
Sir Gareth Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 @Delta Customs Sci's eyes admittedly deceived himself. Quote
