PJSKittles Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Whatever .This is the last time I ask: Take this discussion on manufacturing cost somewhere else. Lego News & General would suit you fine for this. As I mentioned in the above post. Which You app. didn't read or chose to ignore. I actually did, and I did look in the other thread section but did not see a suitable area to post this information.
KimT Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 I actually did, and I did look in the other thread section but did not see a suitable area to post this information. Well neither is this. As I wrote in the above post, if You want to discuss prices and general stuff, then go to the LEGO General Discussion and News forum. Also be aware of what you post. Leaking company info isn't neccesarily very well looked upon by the lawyers of TLG.
Light Light Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I have a few questions regarding the new Tri-Droid, and I'm hoping they are alright to ask. The color scheme for the droid is blue, correct? Do the "turrets" revolve along with the head? For the ball at the top, is it one solid color? Or does it have prints on it to add detail?

Do the "turrets" revolve along with the head? For the ball at the top, is it one solid color? Or does it have prints on it to add detail? Those are very good questions. Sadly I have no idea what to answer. The droid could be blue, sure they could do that and perhaps it's printed. This is all a guessing game, I suggest searching the internet for pics of the droid as it appears in the CW, that might lead os on how it could finally look as a lego design. We are still not sure if this is a real set, yet.
Faramir Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) Hehe, that would be neat indeed! But I think there would have to be more different commanders for this to work. We only have three, and one of them is a captain. Still better than getting tens of REXs. Maybe add Clone Pilot to the list of possible random clones, or even some kind of rare minifig, such as the gold C-3PO or old Mask of time? Edited August 11, 2008 by Faramir
Justin2224 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 What do you mean by Mask of Time? But the Clone BP should include 3 Reg. Troopers, 1 Yelloy Commander and a Pilot.
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 There are many possibles. ARC-Trooper Captain Fordo Captain Rex Commander Fox Commander Cody Commander Thire And hopefully a Clone Pilot, so that I can laugh about everyone who bought the V-19 just for the figure. I wouldn´t prefer C-3PO for the CLONE Battlepack.
KimT Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 And hopefully a Clone Pilot, so that I can laugh about everyone who bought the V-19 just for the figure. Laugh on! I bought it because it's a cool set.
Justin2224 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 A golden 3PO would be kinda cool to have though. Since he did fight in the Clone Wars, he's kinda important. But they should release him a set with Padme' and R2 thats cheap. Maybe Padme's appartment.

The reason is because that scene is a lack of play value and the kids don´t want to recreate a couple of dialogues .

The Who Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 As others have said, I think that it is safe to assume that this is General Whorm Loathsome but I may be wrong (as I so often am) . I have read all through this thread and can find nothing other than a link that doesn't work that explains who this general whorm loathsome guy is. Can somebody please post a picture of him or something?
Dark Sword Ragnarok Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 That a nice idea Justin2224 , but I think the TLC will never release one. The reason is because that scene is a lack of play value and the kids don´t want to recreate a couple of dialogues . Well, maybe you don't remember, but in the HP sets, don't remember what year, there was a set with just Hermione and two Diagon Alley shops (basically two 8x8 plates, with a rack of lightsaber blades for "desighner wands" and a drawer with a frog) if I remember right. It also had a cardboard cutout of the walls of the shops. Quite an uneventful set, but it had Hermione with civilian clothes. So, if Lego can't find a way to sneak Padme and C3P0 into a set, her apartment would be a perfect solution. Plus, Hasbro can't get on Lego about having figure packs for SW. Win win situation in my eyes. DSR

Alright, for the last freaking time: This is the alien dude we assume to be in the rumored AAT set: General Whorm Loathsom (I hope the link works this time. It's from Wookieepedia.) A picture of him sitting in an AAT as seen in the new CW movie, the source for the assumption: I wonder how TLG would make a hunchbacked guy like him. Edited August 12, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi

Win win situation in my eyes.DSR Well i would love a padmes apartment personally, however much play experience you actually got from it. I know we haven't gotten a Padme since...I believe it was one of the pod race sets a llllooonnnggg time ago. I like the idea and think it would be a good move on TLCs part
Faramir Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Just to clear things up, when I said C-3PO and mask of time I just gave those as examples of how TLG has done things like that in the past. Although a mask of time could do to make some certain lumps of plastic more interesting...

And as far as making a minifig of him, they might make a head similar to the geonosians-That way it would kind of hang over the neck. Or they could do something like watto, gomorrean(spelling?) guards, or chewbacca, for example.
Kynergy Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I'm thinking that we will most definatly see a new battlepack in December, with the Phase 1 clones. I'm guessing 2 normal clones, a pilot and then an arc trooper. But as for a droid pack, I'm guessing it will probally have Magnaguards in it, and a phew droids, with a blue stap and a cheap ugly peice of junk transport And I can definatly see us getting a blue ATT, with the new seperatist in it.

Well we always do get a good amount of new sets during Christmas time so i can't help but think some of them will be clone wars sets. Hopefully new Battlepacks, the assault shuttle, and a new ATT, and a tri droid as well, then maybe late january early february we will get some new sets with the announcment of whether it will be the Mon Cal set or Palpatines set.

Kynergy Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Ya, the letters I get mixed up all the time. But people still know what I mean Edited August 13, 2008 by Kynergy
JimboJones Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 so the five sets that are coming out in january are: Droid Battle Pack, Clone Battle Pack, AAT, Tri-Droid and Assault Shuttle. Those were the five I picked like 3 weeks ago but i didnt call the battle packs battle packs. Nice!Id get all these sets and judging on previous january star wars lines, they will be alot cheaper than the most recent sets.
The Rancor Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I'm hoping that some member somewhere here or on brickshelf is brave enough to copy a trade catalogue It happened with the Clone Wars sets this year, so why not the Clone Wars sets in January? I must admit, I'm not going to copy a catalogue and I can't even find one, but I hope to see some leaked pics soon!
Kynergy Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Does anyone here have a picture of the clone shuttle, not in LEGO version, but just a normal pic of it, because I don't know what it is Is it like the stormtrooper transport we got a while back. Or can some one just tell me what it looks like, thanks :)
Oky Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Does anyone here have a picture of the clone shuttle, not in LEGO version, but just a normal pic of it, because I don't know what it is Is it like the stormtrooper transport we got a while back? Kinda, but a little cooler! Here you go: I can imagine that this will be a pretty cool and hopefully affordable set.
