Dark Brickz Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 If you look at Rex on the promo picture then you can see rex has a black streak on his helmit, could this be a new rex in another set? its grey on the promo box, it just looks black cause theres barely light in the room....
daxflame680 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 its grey on the promo box, it just looks black cause theres barely light in the room.... Nah, it looks black to me..... But lets not make a big deal out of a little line on Rex's helmet.
trooperdavinfelth Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 If you look at Rex on the promo picture then you can see rex has a black streak on his helmit, could this be a new rex in another set? Before you ascertain that it's black, first ascertain that the kama, pauldron, and such is black as well.
rcpeck Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I have a spotting of the 2009 Clone Battle packs. My roommate was on the phone with his mother and she saw a battle pack in a Toys R Us in Maryland. I was a bit skeptical but she confirmed that it was in "a white box," "had the white guys from the bad movies," and also contained "a two legged walking thing." When we decipher the mom language it certainly sounds like the battle packs are out in some stores.
KimT Posted December 11, 2008 Author Posted December 11, 2008 As good as that may be, it doesn't belong here. This is a rumor and picture thread. It's not a US-set-availability-thread Such finds and comments are to be posted in the proper pinned topic on "Star Wars Sets Anyone?"(one of the top 4-5 topics in here). Oh yeah, and welcome to Eurobricks
The Kid Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Just so you know, I believe those UK prices are for Forbidden Planet only... RRPs are as follows (found on the FP website itself ): BPs - £8.99 Hyena Bomber - £19.99 Vader's TIE - £29.99 AAT - £39.99 Attack Shuttle - £49.99 With today's exhchange rate, they're only slightly dearer than the US prices...

alec634 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but I found some Shop at Home descriptions of the new sets: Clone Walker Battle Pack Ages 6-12. (TBA) pieces The Clones charge into battle on the Clone walker! The fight between the Republic and the Separatist forces rage on, and you decide who wins! Build your army with a pack of Clone troopers from Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series, complete with a Clone walker! Includes Clone commander, Clone gunner and 2 Clone trooper minifigures. 8015 The assassin droids are on the attack! They sweep in on their speeder bike and cause swift and heavy damage. Clone troopers beware: the assassin droids show no mercy! Build your droid army with these special droids. Includes 3 Assassin droid and 2 IG Lancer droid minifigures. 8016 Bombard the Republic with the Hyena droid bomber, featured in Star Wars: The Clone Wars! Equipped with a store of bombs, swarms of these bomers can cause massive damage! If its wing-mounted blasters weren't enough, they were deployed with squads of hunter battle droids! Includes 2 hunter battle droid minifigures. 8017 Command Vader's personal TIE fighter! The TIE x1 fighter was an advanced prototype that featured angled wings and a reinforced hull, along with front-mounted twin heavy blaster cannons and a cluster missile launcher! Far more powerful than the ordinary TIE fighter, the TIE x1 fighter is to be feared, just like its pilot, the Dark Lord of the Sith himself! Include Darth Vader minifigure. 8018 Bombard the the Republic forces! The Separatist AAT (Armored Assault Tank) is ready for battle. Commandeered by battle droids and supported by super battle droids, this tank is a formidable foe! But what happens when they are up against Yoda and his Clones? You decide! Includes Yoda, Clone trooper, 2 battle droid and 2 super battle droid minifigures. 8019 Fly in support with the Repubic Attack Shuttle! When Republic forces are in trouble, Mace Windu and additional Clone troopers come and save the day! The transport seems vulnerable, but it has plenty of surprises in store, and will use them all to safely reach its destination and deploy the troops. Includes Mace Windu, Clone pilot, and Clone trooper minifigures. This site also includes rumors of summer 09 sets link
darkrebellion Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Thanks for the news alec634 . All the description seems to match perfectly except for the ones of 8016 and 8018. They say that both of them have a droid less. The 8016 is supposed to have three hunter droids and the 8018 is supposed to have three super battle droids .

TK *ahem* Those prices are from Lonely Planet and they're not the RRPshttp://www.forbiddenplanet.com/search/Slego as cleared up over a week ago ;)
Derek Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Do we have any rumors or confirmation on th price of Ahsoka's fighter? I checked the first post and didn't find anything. If I had to guess right now, I'd say it would be $25-30 USD. Thanks. -darthperson
Apolloo Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) I'll probably pick up a few battle packs when they get released. HOpefully they are still normal price as the other ones. Also on a side note i was able to find some of the new '09 sets on bricklink. Kind of expensive but it you want to get them before everyone else go ahead and buy them. http://www.bricklink.com/browseList.asp?it...atString=65.635 Edited December 13, 2008 by Apolloo
Dark Brickz Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 ok let me start off by saying it was a good day for me . I went to my local TRU and to my surprise all of the 09 set were there, so i got them all hahaha. i do recommend if your in the states to check all of your local toy stores. anyways the only set that wasnt in the store was Ahsoka jed starfighter. i guess ill hit up walmart or target in the morning to see if they have any.....
ROCON Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Wow you are SO lucky! Do you think you could post some pics of them. :)
commander_kitten Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I have a hunch about a pirate tank, look at www.starwars.com/theclonewars/guide/episode011

TheBrickDaddy Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I already have some of the 2009 SW sets, and let me tell you, the cloone battle pack is a piece o' crap... Only get it for the figs. I would reccomend the AAT; best quality, all-around set from the new line. I'm also wondering- what figs will come in the future Venator? Probably Anakin and Ahsoka, but I'd like maybe a clone-wars Luminara and a Republic officer or two. If it comes with only FIVE minifigs like the gunship I'm going to scream!!!!
Apolloo Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 That is a link to all of the '08 sets, not the '09 ones. They were there. They had the CLone trooper pack, Droid pack and Hyena droid. THere was only about 2 of ech so someone must of bought them.
Trudop561 Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 It looks like there really is a speeder in the AAT Source : http://www.brickset.com/detail.aspx?Set=8018-1
darkrebellion Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Well, looking at the next episode preview and the whole "pirates" theme of the expected episode, I think I now prefer a "pirate" fort than the pirate tank rumored .
SWMAN Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 They were there. They had the CLone trooper pack, Droid pack and Hyena droid. THere was only about 2 of ech so someone must of bought them. Sorry. Now I see them.
TheBrickHitHouse Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) http://cgi.ebay.com/LEGO-8018-Armored-Assa...%3A1%7C294%3A50 AAT Pics, finally There is a speeder I had been hoping we'd get a back end to the AAT that resembled the film version (with the ramp) Instead we get a hole where the speeder goes Oh well Edited December 13, 2008 by TheBrickHitHouse
alec634 Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I found the new battle packs on the TRU website: 8014 8015
darkrebellion Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Well after all the AAT comes with an speeder and I just get how dissapointed I am . That speeder looks like crap, just looking at the design looks extremly generic . Also the AAT doesn´t features anything really special in function terms .
Tim Bit Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Well after all the AAT comes with an speeder and I just get how dissapointed I am . That speeder looks like crap, just looking at the design looks extremly generic . Also the AAT doesn´t features anything really special in function terms . I second that. Although I'm still buying it.
