thorin Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I'm surprised that no one has been talking about the R3-M2 being sold at the Legoland CA... Hopefully they sell it on s@h, but there is a chance that those of us who aren't near a Lego store may be out of luck... :-( http://www.brickfanatics.co.uk/lego-star-wars-40268-r3-m2-found-at-legoland-california/ http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-star-wars-r3-m2-40268-available-at-legoland/ Quote

There is still no evidence it even exists, besides people becoming obsessed about pictures in the backgrounds of boxes. Exactly what I was about to say. The fact that there is a 'silhouette' of the Falcon on the 'UCS' Death Star box is fairly tenuous evidence that there will be a new UCS Falcon. You could say that there is also the silhouette of a TIE fighter on it - does that mean that, even though we have only just had a UCS TIE, we're getting another one? Quote
Legoman123 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I was under the impression it had being unofficial confirmed from a reliable source? Quote
atlas Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 If you want actual evidence then you're out of luck but it will be coming out later this year. Quote

That's not really true, the reason its being given a chance is because its been supported by numerous reliable leakers. We have as much evidence for it as we had for the snowspeeder not too long ago, as well as every SW set we saw at NYTF. Edited March 7, 2017 by Magmafrost Quote

VaderFan2187 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 You do realize it isn't too great if Bossk is just a placeholder, right? I'd rather Dengar be a placeholder. We haven't had Bossk in a while… Quote

We haven't had Bossk in a while… Bossk is outdated, IG-88 if unchanged would be fine, however its been a while. 4-LOM and Zuckuss currently don't exist in physical form. Dengar was just updated and released last year. I'd really hope Dengar is the placeholder. Quote
Cottin Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Maybe he meant that the Bossk minifig was a placeholder on the box art, but we will (hopefully) get an updated minifig Bossk with the actual set..? Because the fig on the prelim box art is definitely the old Bossk. Quote
Goonmo Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Im pretty sure the figures will be Bossk, 4-Lom, Dengar, and IG-88. If it were any different we would've had another preliminary figure on the box art, not Bossk or Dengar as placeholders. I'm pretty happy about the selection. I'm glad I don't have to spend $30 on a not so good set just for Dengar. Yeah it's not perfect but at least most people will be able to get a good amount of good figures for a cheap price and hopefully this means going forward we might see more battlepacks with actual named characters. Anyways, do polybags like R3-M2 typically show up in other places then just Legoland? or do we all just have to Bricklink it? Quote

By the same guy who posted very very fake TLJ set descriptions. Shouldn't have to wait much longer though, the May the 4th promo is usually officially revealed in March. Quote

Agent Kallus Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Maybe its a shoretrooper with a new backpack and ammo pouch :P Quote

Stash2Sixx Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 Even if someone comes out and clearly states "For May the 4th, 2017, we will get a "blah blah blah" fig "from blah blah blah." It's still a rumor until it can be confirmed. Did the week long May the 4th promo last year have anything special just on May the 4th? Last year, it was on a Wednesday, this year the 4th is on a Friday. The week long event last year started on the last Saturday in April and I believe all of the promo items were available for the duration of the event. With the exception of the ugly unofficial Space Slug set, which is still stupid desirable to some. That was only available at the Saturday morning event. Quote

SPACIBA Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I have seen new pics from the snowspeeder pilot with the dark helmet on facebook with more detail and it have printed arms and a lot of details in the helmet Quote
