ToaDraco Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Vader's transformation actually looks pretty amazing and more substantial than I would have guessed. I'm really looking forward to the new Republic Fighter Tank! It looks really good and has some great figs, I too am hoping the clone is Bly. Quote
Infinite Bricks Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Some models of the republic fighter tank don't have the turret, and some do. It should be easy to add a turret onto the two studs near the cockpit. Looking at up close pictures of the box, it looks like we won't be getting a commander at all. It looks like a generic clone trooper. Can't tell if it's the clone wars or episode 2 version. I'm hoping for the former. Edited January 7, 2017 by Infinite Bricks Quote

Is that a Scout trooper buildabile figure with speeder bike? If so that's awesome!!! Also, where's the Jedi Starfighter with Booster Ring on that list? Still thanks for posting! Quote

I can't find the Jedi Starfighter from the list but I'm not counting it out... the list could be incomplete Quote
darththeling Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Great pricing find, makoy. Welcome news to me the Rathtar Escape is at that high a price point because I'd like a substantial Eravana playset if possible! And the "escape" name suggests we may get the doorway the rathtars are locked behind with some technic mechanism to release the rathtars. Doubt we'll see the two Kanjiklub members from TFA Falcon again but maybe a couple Guavians plus heroes - Rey, Finn, BB8, oldHan, oldChewie all very likely. It would be cool if there was a play feature that allowed Rey to close a door and cut off a rathtar tentacle. Does anyone think we'll get two or three rathtars? Or just one? It does look rather huge in the video game and I wonder if it can "swallow" figs whole like the rancor does. Anyway, it will be interesting to see how Lego approaches the feel and design layout of that thing getting loose inside a freighter. I'm curious if there will be a crawl space for Rey and Finn to hide in underneath the corridor. Quote
Magmafrost Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Hmm, at that price point I expect we'll see a custom moulded rathtar. I mean I guess it was obvious that that would happen, but a brick-built one would've been nice. Well, except that TLG refuses to adopt the lowell sphere, so maybe it wouldn't be. Quote
makoy Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Those who have seen the Republic Fighter Tank and Darth Vader Transformation we know that the Republic Fighter Tank is going to be small as seen from the leaked pictures with white stand-in minifig for Aayla... just couldn't believe they have the same pricing.

Aswitcher Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Nice find Makoy. is it usual for Lego to skip numbers? 79, 81 and no 84. Quote
RetroInferno Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) The stomtrooper commander figure is intriguing: they are either not final translation, a litteral storm trooper commander ( with blue stripes, member Force Unleashed? ) or a force order thingy. Darth Vader's transformation seems like a good deal considering the size of the thing. Here's my guess at the U.S prices, 75531 - Stormtrooper Commander buildable figure (24,99$)75532 - Scout Trooper & Speederbike buildable figure (54,99$)75166 - First Order Transportation Speeder Battle Pack (12,99$)75167 - Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike Battle Pack (12,99$)75178 - Jakku Quad Jumper (59,99$)75180 - Rathtar Escape (69,99$)75182 - Republic Fighter Tank (29,99$)75183 - Darth Vader Transformation (34,99$)75185 - Tracker 1 (69.99$)75186 - Arrowhead (89.99$) Edited January 8, 2017 by RetroInferno Quote

The EUR prices are more or less currency sign swap with some rounding off to the nearest 5 or 10 USD dollar, minus 1 cent. I don't think it will be much lower than what @RetroInferno posted. Quote
eric729 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 looking at the box art, the clone trooper in the Republic Fighter Tank looks a lot like a CW variant. Quote
RetroInferno Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Not sure about Clone Wars variant, but it's definitly not commander Bly in there: just a plain phase 1 clone trooper. Quote
starwars4ever Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Based on the USD pricing we had last year (and the past several years) I believe it will be.... $29.99 for Vader's Transformation $49.99 for Republic Fighter Tank $59.99 for Quadjumper $79.99 for Rathtar Escape (similar to Death Star Final Duel) $89.99 for Tracker 1 $109.99 for Jedi Star Fighter with Hyperdrive Booster Ring $119.99 for Arrowhead $24.99 for Stormtrooper Sergent $59.99 for Scout Trooper with Speeder Bike Both Battle Packs will definitely be $12.99 I wish the prices were lower but these are quite similar to the past summer waves so this is quite likely. However, this is just a guess so I could be wrong! Quote

Darth Malgus Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 They're not horrible prices atm, waiting on final images before I cast a proper judgement. Quote
wesker Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 The Republic Tank looks amazing! I think they've definitely captured the shape and sleekness better than the original - especially at the front which looks less bumpy this time. I also don't mind them downsizing the scale as I thought the previous release was a bit too big compared to the Battlefront games, not to mention its an affordable way to obtain Aayla Secura. But again - still disapointed we seem to be getting a generic Clone Trooper instead of Commander Bly (and lack of new classic characters in general for 2017) Darth Vader's Transformation looks pretty good too. A little disapointed by the lack of walls but I love the look of the circular platform and the FX Medical Droid is fantastic! Also good to see we may indeed be getting 2-1B after all. At the price range the Jedi Starfighter is going for, I hope it comes with more than just Obi-Wan, R4's head and young Boba. Those Kaminoans are long overdue! 3 hours ago, darththeling said: Great pricing find, makoy.

The first post mentions we'll be getting four minifigures in the set - Han, Chewie and two others that are potentially Guavians, although I'm hoping at least one of them will be Bala-Tik since this will be our only chance to get him. Rey, Finn and BB-8 will be coming in the Quadjumper set. Quote
frank_day Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 A little question here. Will Palpatine be included in Vader's Transformation ? thx Quote

benderisgreat Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Vader's Transformation definitely looks like 30-40$ set and Republic Tank looks like 35$ set. Quadjumper and Rathtar sets sound like they're too expensive! 60-70$ for Quadjumper is way too much and Rathtar set is 80-90$! Of course pictures could change my opinion , but right now I'm only interested in getting Vader and Republic Tank as well as Battlepacks. Edited January 8, 2017 by benderisgreat Quote

DEAD1974 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Falcon could be interesting, even its out of my interest, but nowadays prices like € 3000,- is a bit out imao ... Quote
