pedro Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks Ashoka, these sound like they could potentially be great new sets. I bought the Separatist Spider Droid the other day and I love the new clones! I'm not surprised they'd release a new clone battlepack... but it's great to here a possible confirmation. I don't mind the inclusion of a new speederbike as I really like the new design - any spare bikes can be given to my old scout troopers. I'm keen to see what an alternative Yoda head looks like as there has been some great 'toon' versions of him. I own quite a few Yoda's already so a little change is good. A new AAT sounds great, about time Lego gave it some love again! A battlepack with a greater variety of droids is good too. 2008... moneysink! 2009... even more so!
THE-FORCE Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Okay, I have some more information, in relation to your questions:The new AAT front is made from the same round pieces in the Droid Gunship The reason for the new TIEs is apparently because its part of the force unleashed line Yoda's head is a New Mold The shuttle is the largest set, followed by the tri droid, followed by the AAT and finally the battle packs Ashoka~ Thank you so much for the information, I love you for it(It's an expression, I don't mean it real)!!!! Please come with pictures soon! Or more information! Greets The-Force!
Sir von Lego Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Hi, did anyone of you notice this Comic Con Star wars Set? http://cgi.ebay.com/2008-COMIC-CON-EXCLUSI...bayphotohosting It includes 7654, 7670 and 5 additional Clone Troopers!! Only 1200 were produced for the Comic Con in San Diego! greetings Hendrik
Ashoka Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Yes the new 09 line should be very exciting, I have asked Ben for more information on the battle packs, as he didn't really say much, I will post information as I get it, thanks for all the replies guys Ashoka
The Nightwing Reborn Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 So wait, do you know the prices, if so, what is the retail price of the AAT in USD? And when you say your largest to smallest list where do the 2 TIEs fit in? Overall, if what you say is true, then '09 is gonna be great, all i need to know now is Batman. Ben doesn't know anything about that does he? )TNR(
Ashoka Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 No, I do not know the prices, and I neither of us know how big the ties are, to be honest, neither of us like OT And I was under the impression that Batman had finished, i.e. no more sets Ashoka
The Nightwing Reborn Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Oh well thanks anyway. Now if only i could just fast forward the rest of 2008 to October so i could get my fighter tank. On the Batman note: I think future sets will depend on the sucess of Lego Batman: The Video Game. )TNR(
LEGOscum Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) On the Batman note: I think future sets will depend on the sucess of Lego Batman: The Video Game. I don't mean to swing this thread off topic but you are probably right. There was a SDCC exclusive video game tie-in after all. Edited July 31, 2008 by LEGOscum
Justin2224 Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I'm not trying to act like a MOD or anything, but this is the LEGO Star Wars Thread, not Batman. Ashoka, could you ask Ben for some preliminary pics of these. I do think the TIEs will be for the Force unleashed. If so, we might get some of the new looking Stormtroopers from the game.
Ashoka Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I have asked for some pics, and Ben said he would ask the guy who he is getting his information from. Also I asked some more questions bout the sets, so here is a little more info: Battle Packs: Clone speeder is similar to the new speeder in the Republic Gunship, except it is Grey, Dark Red and Lime green. The STAP is the same design as in the AT-TE. Shuttle: Its mainly Dark Grey and Light Grey, it has those flick fire missiles (rubber tipped) Tie: He doesn't know what the all figs are yet, but says one set includes a Jedi and the new apprentice. Ashoka
Skipper 24 Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 All these sets sound so good! I hope the TIE's have grey instead of blue.
CloneMe Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Gosh it gets better and better. I can't wait to see some pictures. Do you know what pictures hes asking for? Or is he just getting whatever he can? Can't wait. Just need to get the fighter tank and I'm good to go for 2009.
Sithassassin Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Yes we discussed this a while back, sorry My droid gunship and spider walker finally came!!!

I ordered one off ebay and should be getting mine today or tommarow.
AoNZ Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks for this information. Is there any chance that some of these will be released around December? Can you ask him for approximate release dates? Thanks. These sets sound good.
bamaker Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Is this the Attack Shuttle?Attack shuttle If that's what is referenced in Ben's list, then I'd be quite happy to plop down my hard earned money for it. Also, I'm probably in the minority, but I'd be happy to see a TIE Fighter & TIE Bomber on the shelves again. I sold the two TIE Fighters I had back in 2003 or 2004 (helped pay for a family vacation), and I never bought the original bomber. So, I'd pick up these two sets if they become available. And I'm all for more battlepacks; I don't army build -- just 1 of each for me -- but it will allow me to add more clones & droids to my collection.
CloneMe Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Is this the Attack Shuttle?Attack shuttle I beleive thats it. There was a clone wars clip, I think on the first page. It showed just about everything that hes talking about.
ADHO15 Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Shuttle:Its mainly Dark Grey and Light Grey, it has those flick fire missiles (rubber tipped) This is what made me ask. There seems to be no large missile launchers on the shuttle and it has a lot of red parts (not mostly grey).
Ashoka Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 In answer to your question, no it is not, it is the one in episode III, to be honest dont I dont know why it is part of the clone wars line Ashoka
Trudop561 Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 But remember, it's only a preliminary list. Don't be too enthusiast because some sets (maybe all) could be wrong. But it could also be right. I hope that there will be a re-edition of the AAT and some CW sets. And I also hope that there will be OT sets with the death star troopers.
babyjawa Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I guess that green clone really is Gree... Here is pic (from Rebelscum) confirming it.
commandosevy Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I guess that green clone really is Gree...Here is pic (from Rebelscum) confirming it. I wonder if this is a good thing also who is the arc guy in the TX 130s set? sorry if you already talked about this but i was gone for two weeks..
Lego12 Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) Yes we discussed this a while back, sorry My droid gunship and spider walker finally came!!! Lucky! I went to TRU and they didn't have the spider walker... Why TRU, why?!? Well anyway that trooper in the TX-130 set, is a normal clone trooper with gear, I think. It's beautiful anyway. P.S. I am now a Citizen!!! Edited August 1, 2008 by lego12

Well put, I will try to get picks, then we dont have to worry about the list being wrong, I have sent Ben an email about images, so I will have an answer tomorrow (aug 2nd) Ashoka
