Do we think these are legit? Because I remember a new TIE on the smaller side was rumoured for next year but don’t think we heard anything about an Imperial Shuttle . . ? Personally I think they both look great and would like to get them both. Looks fake to me, the imperial shuttle and tie fighter both look way to similar to previous versions. The TIE fighter also looks like it was just photoshopped due to the size of the cockpit compared ot he wings. But both are rumoured for next year Quote

OCD_Chad Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 I'm thinking the gunship will have to be larger than minifig scale for the same reason the A-wing is. Quote
THELEGOBATMAN Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 I gotta say, that TIE Fighter does look pretty good. Quote

Kit Figsto Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 They look solid! The TIE looks pretty nice, the wing details look good and the cockpit looks nice as well. The Imperial Shuttle looks decent, it almost looks like the cockpit might just be bricks (doesn't fit a figure?) but it's really hard to tell. I can't tell if that's a dark-transparent windscreen or black bricks. Quote
FeepoGerbin Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 Landino confirmed the Shuttle is fake, but the TIE is real. if that’s how the new sets look, count me in. Stylized but good. Definitely looks fun, and it’s CHEAPER!! Quote

Unless the figures are absolute garbage, this will be a great set. Quote

Redroe Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 OK, I need a question answering but I acknowledge it's off topic. It relates to a part released this year though if that helps ground me somewhat. See the new hood (Garindan's, or KoR if you prefer. The one that looks like Obi Wan has a dishcloth on his head). I don't own one. Does it work with an old 1 stud minifig neck bracket 42446 worn on the front? The reason I ask is it looks like a good starter for ten on making a custom Ephant Mon. Quote

Yes, it fits, but I'm not sure it's a technique that'd ever be used in an official TLG set. It's very tight and there may be a small amount of lingering friction on the pieces, but it fits. 1 hour ago, JintaiZ said: I thought it would cost $200... The conflicting info leaves just about everything in play except that the May UCS set will be between $200-250. No confirmation it's even the Gunship. The set list going around says the May set is $200. mandr sourced that the May set is $250. mandr also said he's assuming May is the UCS Gunship. Quote
JintaiZ Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) @Pedilego - Right, it isn't confirmed. But doesn't it say $200 on the rumors list? Though we don't even know if it's the Gunship Edited October 1, 2020 by JintaiZ Quote

I don't own the part, but I'm 99.9% sure it should. That's a smart part choice for ephant mon by the way, let me know if you figure out how to make his face. Quote

But I can't get it to attach right let alone to a hood. I can't claim points for that idea, an old Indiana Jones set used them as creepy idol faces. Absolute genius. 8 hours ago, Pedilego said: Yes, it fits, but I'm not sure it's a technique that'd ever be used in an official TLG set.

Fingers crossed that Lego do give us a Mon sometime and maybe even do a similar trick to Garindan. Maybe this part was even designed with Garindan in mind. Quote
Sneakguest Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Seems there is a Nebulon B coming after all, not the size I would have hoped for though, but better than nothing Quote

arealhuman Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 I would Actually really appreciate it if the dropship with the at-ot is real Quote
Sneakguest Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 But when was the SDCC supposed to be? Assume it was cancelled like everything else. Quote

The_Chosen_1 Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 So...did Mos Eisley Cantina ever become available for non-VIPs today? Just checked and it’s still OOS. Quote
arealhuman Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 In my opinion the nebulon b frigate should of been a large scale ucs set instead of a microscale set. Maybe they will release the ninka Quote

The microscale set was intended as a SDCC exclusive set, so it had to be small, or nothing. Quote
