snefroe Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 saw this red starfighter at brickshelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery....y.cgi?i=1236760 what puzzles me are these red wings. they do not exist, according to bricklink. might this be the starfighter of the combo set? Quote
Christian Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 Cool find! The two front wings exist in dark red, in the arc-170 set, but I dont think the four red wings on the sides exist in red Quote
Tijn Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 not yet.... http://www.rebelscum.com/gallery/c3/LEGO2/image9.asp look in the lower right corner, you can see a red fighter just like the one on brickshelf. There was rumour of a combo set of obi-wan and anakin's starfighter later this year. This is probably the one. Quote
Tijn Posted May 24, 2005 Posted May 24, 2005 here's another one in the center http://www.rebelscum.com/gallery/c3/LEGO2/image7.asp Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 24, 2005 Governor Posted May 24, 2005 What's going on? What magic and trickery is this? Has someone did their own custom repaint job? Quote
Vader Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 It looks good but i do hope that should we get a combo pack that theres another new ship included and not just old ones repackaged again. Quote
xwingyoda Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Well guys, we know tlc by now !!!!! Its only going to be like the Tie Collection - ships we already have + 1 newbie for us o buy the 80 Quote
snefroe Posted May 25, 2005 Author Posted May 25, 2005 would you buy the combo, Yoda? no-one needs extra droids and most of us are happy with just the yellow starfighter, so... who's left? Quote
xwingyoda Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Well, I am still hesitating !!! Sure I want Obi's red jsf and i could have another trifighter, but 2 other VD :'( It would be sweet the the blue ep 2 jsf !!!!!!!! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 25, 2005 Governor Posted May 25, 2005 "Clean Edit" anyone? I.e. What is it? How is it relevant to this Red Starfighter? Quote
snefroe Posted May 25, 2005 Author Posted May 25, 2005 "Clean Edit" anyone? I.e. What is it? How is it relevant to this Red Starfighter? i also have no clue what that means... could it be the digital color change from yellow to red through some sort of software? this would mean that the red starfighter only exists on photo...

ApophisV Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Okay, here is some speculation: Since I don't own the set I'm not 100% sure, but those stickers / tiles at the front have exactly the same damaged look at both fighters. If this is a real damage of the stickers (and not printed) this could mean that we see the same starfighter photoshopped to red. (in a perfect way though!) Is anybody able to confirm or disprove this? Quote
xwingyoda Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Well, from that pic Apo, it really seem as a photoshop !!! Some parts are clearly regular lego red, but the front is just too pinkish to be a reall lego part (like the side wings though) ;) Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 25, 2005 Governor Posted May 25, 2005 Well, from that pic Apo, it really seem as a photoshop !!! Why Photoshop out of the 1000's of image editing software programs available? There might be some unknown program avaiable for specifically designing stickers of this nature. Its surprising how many seeming useless unkown programs in existence. But obviously a use can be found for some. Quote
snefroe Posted May 25, 2005 Author Posted May 25, 2005 thanks for that insight, Apo... what puzzled me from the beginning are the tan round tiles of the ship. they've been altered as well. they should be dark red in any case, and they look bright red to me... the stickers are always damaged. i've got 11 starfighters and none of the stickers is undamaged and look the same... also, look at the tip of the red wing. the change from dark red (not the color, but caused by the shadow) to bright red looks weird and is the same on both wings... so i guess it's a photoshop version, but a nice one...

Could this possibly be a discrpency in the photography? Many factors from the lighting conditions to the camera itself could cause the colour to appear differently than what it actually is. Quote
Sarg_Kulo Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 I think he just photoshopped it. Notice how it is the only red pic in the whole gallery. P.S. Nice being back BTW Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 25, 2005 Governor Posted May 25, 2005 Actually no. I haven't had time to have a decent look at the gallery. Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Here are my thoughts: In this case, does anybody actually have the set? If anybody does, is the sticker covering the whole piece? If it is, he might of tried to color it red using a marker or something similar, and therefore, with the yellow background, it makes the red coloring look pink-ish in color. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 26, 2005 Governor Posted May 26, 2005 Is there any way we can asked the dude who made this what he done? Quote
Darth_Ewok Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 OOOOH! We're dealing with... with... with... A MASTER! :oo :-D Quote
spotfrog Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 Editted is what I meant. But well editted, so mistakes aren't noticed without inspection. Quote
