Moshaka Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Finn's hairpiece in black or dark bluish grey wouldn't be too bad for the non-bald version. His hair doesn't really look like Finns that much Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) I only can confirm following: Dual of the Fates - Darth Maul, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon - location about same size and style like this year's Carbon Freezing Chamber, but main colors are black, blue and grey - it shall symbolize the room where they fight and Qui-Gon dies Dessert Skiff - Han, Chewy, Boba, Skiff Guard - only new minifig might be the skiff guard - boring since with minor changes it's exactly the last version Landspeeder - Obi-Wan, Luke, 3PO, Tusken Raider - boring since with minor changes it's exactly the last version - which is really a shame is that there's NO BANTHA INCLUDED!!! The Phantom looked liked a small version of an Imp. Shuttle and Yoda's Starfighter like a dark green version of a regular Jedi Starfighter. The set with Lando wasn't shown there. So either it's a RO set or an Exclusive. All RO sets were only shown as black boxes. I'll post info about Ninjago and Friends very soon (and did already about the City and Creator sets). But I don't remember more; so please even don't ask me for more. Klaus-Dieter Edited September 8, 2016 by Klaus-Dieter Quote
RetroInferno Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Seems like someone tought Saw Guerrera was Lando on the prelims! Or it's a Target exclusive... Quote
CM4Sci Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Seems like someone tought Saw Guerrera was Lando on the prelims! Or it's a Target exclusive... Was Takodana an exclusive? I keep thinking that.. I think RO will have another location playset. Quote
ISDAvenger Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 *snip* All these rehashed sets are getting old...at least for us old fogies that have been collecting for awhile. Would like to see some new sets for a change. Quote
Agent Kallus Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Thanks for the info , rehashes are not great but I still haven't the new chewie and this seems like the first cheapish set to have him,thought other new wookies were available in cheaper sets. Quote
just2good Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Was Takodana an exclusive? I keep thinking that.. I think RO will have another location playset. It wasn't exclusive, but was revealed later on (though released before any of the OT/PT stuff in the US funny enough). Quote
JekPorkchops Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Yeah an updated Landspeeder would only really be warranted if it came with a Bantha. Looks like I was right about the Phantom being the upgraded S2 version. I think it's nice, since a properly scaled Phantom is, well, proper, and it's nice to get the S2 upgrade before we get the S3 Seperatist Shuttle-esque ship. Quote
CedBricks Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Thanks for the info! Is Thrawn's uniform white? Quote
namioik Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Thanks for the info! Is Thrawn's uniform white? He just stated he can't recall anything else besides what he wrote brah Quote
CedBricks Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 right, right, but I was thinking, Thrawn's torso is not "anything" Quote
PicnicBasketSam Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Duel of the Fates is $25? Well, I am definitely going to buy it, but I hope it's not half a model like the Carbon-Freezing Chamber was. Desert Skiff will be a pass, I'm not a fan of the last version at all... and also, Landspeeder? So, was it tan or nougat? I much prefer the tan to what they did in Mos Eisley... Quote
Deathstroke77 Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Small Duel of the Fates set? I'm buying that day one. I mean, a bigger set would be cool, but a smaller one saves my wallet. And I've been dying to get an adaption in LEGO form if this set, so glad it's coming and also cheaply. Quote
HawkLord Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Duel of the Fates for minifigures. Landspeeder and Skiff for one minifigure each and parts. Not a really busy start of the year in the Star Wars side for me. Quote
joeyl19 Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 All these rehashed sets are getting old...at least for us old fogies that have been collecting for awhile. Would like to see some new sets for a change. I totally agree with you. Quote
Sneakguest Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 *snip* Are lego only getting worse and worse? How lazy wasn't that, I will only BL the skiffguard, thats it... Quote
Cjd223 Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Ready for a blown mind: How about the Yoda's Hut comes with a side cave, and an exclusive minifigure of Darth Vader, with the broken mask and Luke's face. Quote
CM4Sci Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) From what I saw the Skiff is very different, it uses flex tube railings on both ends, and the front is made of those curved shell pieces that Exo-Force used. Skiff Guard used the Nadakhan hair. The Sarlacc Pit is also a new build with rounded corners and the oval canopy piece in dark orange. Thrawn's torso was white The Duel set looked like a round, raised platform with a hole in the middle, one section of curved wall in a corner, and an attached passageway with a function underneath that I assume disables the laser grid in front of Obi-Wan The Landspeeder looked close to the 2014 one but the front was a brighter tan, and the thruster engine things on top and on the sides had dark orange R5 heads. I don't think they're that bad? Edited September 8, 2016 by CM4Sci Quote
Terrasher Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 Dark orange oval canopys for the Sarlacc? Isn't that a bit too dark? Last Sarlacc's dark tan was pretty good. Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 Does anyone have any idea if the Maul figure will be new or the same as the most recent one? Regardless I hope it makes the price for Maul drop. I've had the old version for years and I've been wanting to update, but the prices are a little steep. Quote
npgcole Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 I hope Maul stays the same as his 2015 variant, EXCEPT for his face, which was awful. He looked like he was from something like The Empire Strikes Out. Quote

RetroInferno Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 Hey CM4, could you tell if you saw any of these things? - Han's new hair piece? - Is Boba Fett any different? Quote
makoy Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 Are lego only getting worse and worse? How lazy wasn't that, I will only BL the skiffguard, thats it... It can only get worse if people only buy sets and build them (or display it in a box). I actually find it a big relief that I don't have to buy most of the new Star Wars sets.#firstworldproblems Quote
