SWMAN Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 I dont have anything against the mon calamari idea but really. Why does everyone speculate that a ship would fit in it. I seriously doubt its gonna be that big. Just my thought. I do hope it comes with ackbar though. I don't think that it would be an enclosed ship, but merely have a place you can put a ship, much like the Cloud City release.
Darth Legolas Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Not could-be.It is. Wait... didn't he just say he found out it was a custom? Plus, how could they have a piece from a set that hasn't come out yet?
Skipper 24 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) Perhaps Lego sent them one for some reason or other. It looks pretty legit to me anyway. I just don\'t like it that it is rearing up so far back. But who cares, we have tauntauns (hopefully). EDIT: Perhaps the body is pose able. Look the the top of the leg, to me it looks like the legs are one piece and the body another. like in the old dinosaur sets. Also if the Tauntaun is real so could this medic droid Edited December 24, 2008 by Skipper 24

SWMAN Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Pictures for the new Castle sets have emerged in the Castle thread, so hopefully we will see new pictures soon.
ultraman_bc Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 My wishes about the future set's:7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid ™: A little cochlea tank, but better than the version in 2005 with a normal blue colour. 7749 Echo Base™: Little play-set, with 2 Taun-Tauns (<- right writing?) and also the Yeti-Monster. 7753 Pirate Tank ™: Difficult, maybe something from The Clone Wars tv series...?! 7754 Home One ™ Mon Calamari Star Cruiser ™: Nooo. Why not Palpatines Arrest!!?? This set is also know: hangar-bridge, new A-Wing fighter, Mon Calamari figure(s). 7778 Mid-scale Millennium Falcon ™: Sounded like a little set for collector (maybe UCS). 8036 Separatists Shuttle ™: Clear...the know ship of the seperatist leaders. Could be with Nute Gunray. 8037 Anakin's Y-wing Starfighter ™: The one from the tv series. With Anakin, Ashoka and R2-D2. 8038 The Battle of Endor ™: A great Battle-set, with hopefull about 20 minifgures a big bunker and maybe an AT-ST. 8039 Venator-class Republic Attack Cruiser ™: Also great set. With new minifgures like ship captains, another new jedi like Aayla Secura. Same like the Star Destroyer in 2006. Would be great set's Greetings Bricks I manage to see the pics from the traders catalog of the following sets and this is what I can describe about the figures in the set... 7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid ™: 2 droids and 2 clones with jump packs (the jump packs looks like the classic space oxygen tanks but then they are prelim pics). The tank is basically gray (different shades) in colour. 7749 Echo Base™: One laser turrent with a trench wall. 2 hoth rebel soldiers, 2 snow trooper with one of them holding the "big gun" (Sorry, cannot remember what that thing is called, similar to the one found in the earlier MF) and 1 Taun-taun with, I believe, Han Solo on it. 8036 Separatists Shuttle ™: 3 droids, 1 "green" guy and another person in orange. Unfortunately, I cannot make out the 2 key minifigs as the pics are not very clear. 8037 Anakin's Y-wing Starfighter ™: Basically the design from the clone war animation with Anakin, Ashoka and R2-D2. 8038 The Battle of Endor ™: There will be the "back door" to the base in the forest as seen in the movies. There will be Han Solo, Leia (looks like a new torso, green), R2-D2, 2 rebel soldiers (in green and helmets as seen in the movies), 2 scout troopers with speeders, 2 ewoks(1 on a glider and there is also a catapult) and 1 AT-ST with Chewbecca on it. I cannot see clearly but there might be an imperial officer within the base. 8039 Venator-class Republic Attack Cruiser ™: At first I could not really make out who is that with the wavy hair and the 2 blue figures.... then I realised it is probably Chancellor Palpatine!! Plus the 2 senate guards (is that what they call them...) There will also be a clone trooper officer (I cannot see clearly who is that) and 1 clone trooper. Unfortunately, there are no pics of the other sets mentioned above as the catalog only shows what will be released up to August.
Captain REX Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 this isn't just some joke is it? Or is it acctually real?

That's great news if it is true. getting senate guards is really a good surprise. The Battle of Endor set seems really good , with quite a lot of minifigs in it. It seems TLG heard Lego fans' wishes !!
ultraman_bc Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 this isn't just some joke is it? Or is it acctually real? This is what I see in the catalog. I do not want to post the pics as they do have a "CONFIDENTIAL" stamped on it. As for the minifigs in the Venator class cruiser, the pic I have is not very clear... so the figs are my best guess... I could be wrong.
Darth Legolas Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 That seems like a really small amount of minifigs for the Venator. But either way... does the ship look good???
Justin2224 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Hopefully the green guy will be the Rodian Senator Onaconda Farr and the guy in orange is probably Gunray. They all soung great, ecspecially the Tank Droid. And these are the summer sets, correct?

And these are the summer sets, correct? Yeah, these are summer sets. But why the heck would Gunray be orange? That makes no sense! It's more likely he's the green guy and the orange guy is..? EDIT: Oncada Farr was in one episode. I highly highly doubt he's in the set anyways. Edited December 24, 2008 by Darth Legolas
Tim Bit Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 You can trust him he gave us the right info in the castle thread. Ultraman_bc you are a very good vassal. I'm sure theres more in the venator we just don't see them.
Justin2224 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 ultraman_bc said that it was person in orange, and Gunray wore orange robes. The medic droid posted earlier is custom. It's Mark Borlase's from MOCpages.

It's Mark Borlase's from MOCpages. Aaahh... I thought that he was referring to the head color. Which means there could be another neimiodian or something completely different. I guess there could be more minifigs on the Venator but as long as there are 8 I'll be happy. A lot of Clones would be good... or maybe possibly HOPEFULLY an Aayla Secura. I doubt it. But I really hope they're making Palpatine and the Senate Guards.
Justin2224 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 I don't get why Palpatine would be on a Venator. If we are getting Senate Guards, the guy with the wavy hair might be Captain Argyus. The Clone Officer is probably Gree, and we might get Unduli with them as well. So if it is based on the Venator, Tranquility, from Cloak of Darkness, we should get: Captain Argyus 2 Senate Guards Commander Gree 1 41st Elite Legion trooper Luminara Unduli Ahsoka and 327-T, the little WED-15 Treadwell droid Thats what I believe is reasonable.
-JD- Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 -Hopefully the Tauntaun is poseable. -There should be 7 minifigs in the Venator, not 6. Thought it would be like the ISD. -The clone w/ jump-packs will have blue markings. YAY! The first official 501st troopers! They are blue in the movie anyway. JD

That'd sound good to me.. though what a waste for me to have made that custom Luminara then! And about the first official 501st troopers: ever heard of captain Rex? Anyways, sounds good... but it looks like we may have to wait another year to see Phase 2 501st troopers, the most important part of Episode III!

JD I agree with you, seven figures would be preferable. However, the Republic Gunship contained five figures at $125 US price, versus the rumored $107 US price tag we have connected with the Venator-class Destroyer. Sadly, I have my doubts about receiving more than five figures in this set. As far as the figures, I would give my Hoth Base for a Commander Gree. And I would much rather get an Admiral Yularen and Commander Wolffe than a Chancellor Palpatine. Then again, Lego does have a history of including strange figures in their sets, like Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin in the SSD.
JimboJones Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3599547 - Mace Windu http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3597602 - Space Droid http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3597603 - Hyena Bomber I think these are new pics, not of new sets but of january sets
CloneMe Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Wow. Hope this is all true. The venator though sounds like theres to few figs but well see.
WookieeWarrior Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Sounds good, especially the Endor set. Ultraman, is there any chance that you can get a look at the Indy sets coming out?
Trudop561 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) New pics of ashoka starfighter and Count Dooku's solar sailer on Lego's cache. Edited December 24, 2008 by Trudop561
