Pics with US RPR

:'-(

MagnaGuard $44.99

V-19 $54.99 (although after seeing video of how fluid the landing gear with the wings retract I don't mind any more)

AT-TE $89.99

RGS $119.99

Ouch-Also all of them say that they will be on sale in August.

Quit your complaining, the RGS will be $160 here

I know that I pay less in the US for Lego. Believe me, I know that if I feel like it costs to much in US $ then the rest of the world will feel the hurt even more. My "Ouch" was a general refrence to the increase in price that seems to be the trend in recent years.

Sorry didn't intend to sound like I was complaining about US only.

The prices do seem awfully steep. I wish they would have dumbed down the Magna Guard fighter and the V-19. Not every set has to spot on as far as accuracy goes, IMO. I'd bet they could have pulled those two off pretty well in the $30-40 range.

Hey.... it seems like that AT-TE has a foldable handgrip in the middle.... how cool is that? :'-)

Thanks for that nice video link, sam, and thanks to all those people for providing this material to us as well! *y*

Hmm.... I wonder if I should take that baby as my new purse.... 8-| :-P

So whens the droid gunship come out? That might be the only SW set I get for this year... Looks very nice. I like flying that thing is star wars battlefront... But in the first one it was brown.

In this picture you can see they say August. *y* Time to safe some money.... X-D

He's referring to this set that I posted on the previous page, not he Republic Gunship ;-)

It should come out in September :-)

What the.... a Droid Gunship.... how could that just slip through my radar.... darned droids! :-P

The droid gunship have something that support it? *wacko*

I don't think the droid gunship stands with any support X-D , but man did lego do an amazing job constructing. It will definately be a part of my list! *y*

My favorite though is the fighter tank. *wub* It looks like it was built by a afol rather then the lego group because of all the amazing details. I built one, but it doen't compare to this one! 8-

Yeah, the retailers magizine said September, but that was in Spain so it might be out earlier or later depending on where you live. I live in the states and with the RGS, AT-TE, V19, and P-38 in August. Plus if they were coming out in September, one month after August, why didn't TLC just include them in one of the Toy Fairs? Because they aren't as developed as the rest, because they are coming out at a much later date then the rest, like October or November, and then the Twilight, Death Star and Homing Spider Droid will come out in December-January or with the DGS and TX130S. Anyway that's just my little theory. :-)

On another note WHY has nobody noticed or noticed and done said/typed nothing about the so called 'pilot' in the V19 still has a bloody fin!! That means he is a Commander w/ pilot markings on his helmet. *wacko* Or he's some kind of clone commander pilot. X-D Anyways as long as TLC fixes the problem I will be verry happy, and even if they don't I'll still buy the set, gotta love that wing folding/unfolding mechanism, but I will be less happy. *sad*

On another note, gee think I use that saying much, the Preliminary Pics of the TX130S are a bit dissapointing to me. I can see 2 very noticeable gaps. (black spots in the picture besides the 2 front windsheilds) The neon trans green rockets or, whatever they are seem very out of place. I also don't like the fact that it seems to be made up of Dark Red and regular Red. One more thing, that set doesn't look like it's worth $40USD by itself, so it better have at least 5 minifigs. Preferably Ki Adi-Mundi, Bacara, 2 Galactic Marines, and at least 1 regular trooper w/ dark red markings, like in the AT-RT. But these are just early preleminary pics and all the mistakes I've pointed out are easily fixed. especially since we don't even know the official minifig count.

The DGS, Droid Gunship, looks very well designed from what I can see from the blurry pic. I'll have to get that too along with everything else. Anyone want to guess how much it will cost? I'd say 50-60USD depending on if TLC includes any extra minifigs, the reaon I say extra is because the ship itself is a giant droid an therefore needs no pilots. Unless TLC says otherwise that is. X-D

A Wookie general who just can't believe he wrote such a long post, General Tarful

EDIT: Just saw a pic dispalying the inside of the AT-TE and saw that it can hold 8 troopers including the Driver and main gunner, but only includes 2! There beter be CW Phase 1 battlepacks or I'm going to be

one angry Wookie! >:-( I'd also like to see an ARC trooper BP and an Origianal Phase 1 mold BP aswell but thats another subject.

Thanks for those pictures!

The Tank looks nice, I'm interested in what figs are included!

Reminds me of SW BFII

The droid gunship looks better than I expected 8-

The droid-Gunship was not previous, but it is very nice. *wub* About the Homing spider-droid, the Twilight and the TIE Defender, when will this set be previous ? On September too, or at the end of the year. 8-|

There's loads of fantastic photos in Ace's flickr stream:

He got the first good pic of the Clone pilot:

Where is this figure ? In the V-19 Torrent ?

Well I guess the Tie Defender is scrapped |-/ It was either the TD or the Droid Gunship I recall and since there is a pic of the gunship, I don't think we'll se that Defender >:-( That was really hot in my list, one of the bet Ties of them all !! But might be in a later set we know nothing about yet !! I still hope thats for sure !!

Where is this figure ? In the V-19 Torrent ?

Yes it is ;-)

*yoda*

I think that the clone minifig in the V-19 Torrent it's the minifig with orange marks, that we can see on the poster.

-> the clone on the left.

The Clone in the left is Cody..

That orange fig is Commander Cody without all the extra new parts ;-)

There is a fig whre you see yellow and red markings on the clone pilot somewhere in this thread :-P On the first post you should have it ;-)

This is just a wild theory, but could they be holding it back to go with the DS. I think that they might have wanted it to come out sooner, but with the movie coming out now, they probably now would like to keep it in-series with other OT items. As to the Turbo Tank, sweet. Not so thrilled about the DS, but I can understand. The clonies need someone to whoop tin can on :-D .

As to the clonie pilot, I hope that if Lego does a BP/Phase 1, and includes one due to the lack of them in the RGS. Also, and for obvious and selfish reasons ;-) , I would like 501st (Blue) clonie in there too.

Speculation on the Twilight, I think it has to be Anakins B-wing looking freighter in the previews for the clone wars. I think someone else mentioned it way back, but now I am more convinced.

What Turbo Tank?

Sweet, yet two more sets that look amazing... Damn, 2008 is really going to be expensive...

I can't wait to see some better photos...

HI RES PICS ON

This is just a wild theory, but could they be holding it back to go with the DS. I think that they might have wanted it to come out sooner, but with the movie coming out now, they probably now would like to keep it in-series with other OT items.

it could be part of the last wave of sets or could be an end of the year exclusive (like the Tie Crawler which also is an EU set ;-) )

Also, and for obvious and selfish reasons ;-) , I would like 501st (Blue) clonie in there too.

selfish ?? I think not ;-) I would definitly love/need a 501st ;-) Maybe in a future BP with a red commander and 2 white troopers 8-

I think maybe lego release both TIE defender and droid gunship because the droid gunship is the 7678, the tank 7679, so where is the 7677?
