AoNZ Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Ummm... Oky mentioned the pics at the top of this page and most already know but thanks anyway I guess Anyway I quite like the little walker and prefer it to the old clone speeder but it would have been cool if they had made a speeder like in the RGS but in different colours.
The Rancor Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I think the sets are almost perfect design-wise. They just need some really good stickers. ( I stickers because I always put them on perfectly, so the model looks awesome)
baby Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Hey, I think there is high possibility for us to get Vader with new torso as the silver logo at the box printed the new version of Vader torso. Hopefully they really gives us new Vader Edited August 21, 2008 by baby
Oliverphoenix Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Some of the new Clone Wars stuff is awesome,The Clone trooper battlepack is cool apart from the walker though I suppose you could build it up and I like the new ATT very much. The Republic attack shuttle looks interesting as well though the yellow looks odd so I hope that changes on the final release,I also really dislike the Assassin droids battle pack...I doubt I would even get one. Obviously the UK prices will make a big difference as well,I'd be upset if the Clone trooper battlepack is more than £8.99 as thats already a high price and I am hoping sets like the ATT aren't £49.99.
Eterneo Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I really like the two new battle packs. The other sets look okay as well. I just can't figure out what Mace Windu is laughing about... As things might still change in some of these sets I hope that they will develop a more serious head for Mace. I'm actually surprised that they have not given him one of those weird heads based on the new series.
Justin2224 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 The "pilot" seems to be the oddball of this set That might be it. He might be Oddball, Commander of Squad Seven.
lfadn Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) i found out that the "pilot" in the clone bp is actually a gunner Edited August 21, 2008 by lfadn
Light Light Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) I agree with you Guhin, if LEGO was going to make an AT-TE gunner, why not just put it in with the AT-TE. I would much rather have had the gunner than Rotta. I swear, LEGO doesn't think things through very often, do they? The same can be said if it is a clone pilot in the BP. Why not include him in the RAG instead of a regular Clone? And Ifadn, I think you are right. They look extremely similar with the Republic symbol on the head. Perhaps TLG has the Artillery Gun planned for the future? Edited August 21, 2008 by Light Light
Justin2224 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Yes, the Pilots and Gunners wear pretty much the same uniform. And if we get a 'gunner', then it should be with a Republic Artillery Gun.
Light Light Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) I have noticed that sometimes the sets scheduled to be released at the start of a new year are released early in the year before... Merry Xmas indeed... Also, KimT? Are those suppose to be the pictures of the '09 sets on the first page? Edited August 21, 2008 by Light Light
KimT Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 Also, KimT? Are those suppose to be the pictures of the '09 sets on the first page? Erhm... I'll have to check. I've been busy all day and some other staff members must have done something here. For now please remember not post deeplinked pics from the retailer catalog and not to retype the list that we saw a few days ago. Ok? Otherwise You give me a lot of work, editing it all away again And remember to think before you post. The Tri-Droid might be in the next wave of sets, it's NOT in this one and it doesn't mean we wont get it. There! Now I've said it again and hopefully for the last time. Stay on target!
Zzz Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 OK, I let the sets grow on me a bit in the last days but I have to add my 2 cent.. The Shuttle seems nice and the few yellow pieces need to be there, the original one looks like this. I wonder how the interior looks like and if the final version gets some nice landing gear and a cool mechanism for the wings. The droids battlepack and the Hyena are not really my taste, they look a bit strange and boring, but I was never a fan of sets like the droids gunship or something like this. I am not too interested in red battledroids and well, I like the IG-4 droids in silver, but I guess one is enough for my collection. The AAT still looks a bit plain and honestly nothing compared to the Republic Tank, also I liked the tan colour from the Ep. I version a lot more. Vaders TIE is the first must buy in my list, the colour looks so relaxing compared to the blue/ black one. It looks so '70s and oldschool, like it should simply be. Also it seems to come with the new Vader, I really do need that minifig! And well, the Clone BP is a must buy. The walker is nice but I do need it (as TLC wanted it... sigh) to cover all the empty seats in the AT-TE and gunship. Overall I have to say that these pictures look much more preliminary than Indiana Jones, pirates or especially city sets (that seem almost finished) and so I am open to changing my opinion about them. Also TLC gave us the most important CW sets right now, so the models are a bit more boring. But also they lack of the playability factor, that I really loved about this years CW sets. They are not only to be looked at or have flimsy movable parts like SW was too often in the past - you can actually play with it and it works! That is why the most important set besides the TIE is the Clone BP, just to give this years sets more crew! But I am looking forward for the neat detail and play stuff that made me like CW sets so far a lot! I won't say too much about the minifigs, cause this could always be changed (except Vader, it is somehow clear we will get him and only him) - but I am looking forward to see a CW Mace Windu with big cartoony eyes! Also I am pretty sure we will see a few more minifigs than there were in the pictures, and I hope to see a new Yoda, I am tired of the old one.. (no offense, but these one colour molds are out of fashion) About OT I would like to say that one set is bit - not - that - much, but there were rumours about a Tauntaun set finally and a new Endor set (same here as on the Yoda issue: Look at the newer minifigs, I am pretty convinced we then would see some more detailed Ewoks). And last but not least I would like to know what you guys think of the Solar Sailor - what kind of tricky technic function does it need to look and work at least a bit like the one we saw in Ep. II? Also, will it be a CW sets or an Ep. II set..? (CW I guess, the tv series will make the continuance of the blue/white boxes a bit longer) So, these are my thoughts about news and rumours so far, no revolution, no revelation, just my 2 cent. And I will be always open to change my mind if you give me something sweet to play with (the V-19 anyone? too nice..)!
Light Light Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 The Solar Sailor will most likely be Clone Wars. All the sets except the TIE Advance that are being released at the start of '09 are Clone Wars. So I expect that most of the sets released throughout the entire year will be Clone Wars.
Corvus Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 How is TLC going to even make a Solar Sailer? No way they'd be able to make the sail- it'd be a real challenge to get a sail to fold out, I don't think they'd be able to include the sail... At least, not the way we know it.
darkrebellion Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) Anyone remember the pics from back in 2005 during the "Star Wars Weekend" at Legoland and that in one of the stands there is a prototype Solar Sailor and the Beasts from the Geonosis Arena . I think the TLC will take that design and improve it a lot but I think is a wish to see a Solar Sailor with a folding "Sail" . This set is one of the sets I am most looking foward next year so fingers-crossed . I just find the pic of the Solar Sailor prototype (2005 one ), so just follow the link and see how a TLC Solar Sailor will look like: Solar Sailor portotype of back to 2005 Edited August 22, 2008 by darkrebellion
The Who Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I am really looking forward to that solar sailor, especially since it includes dooku. And isn't the solar sailor basically the same vehicle as the old geonosian fighter from like 2002?

And isn't the solar sailor basically the same vehicle as the old geonosian fighter from like 2002? No, the Geonosian Fighter have a main laser cannon in the front of the ship and the pilot is situated at the middle of the ship with the windshield at the top of the middle of the ship . The Solar Sailor in another hand, have a bubble-ish cockpit made out of (crystal? ) and have a really cool expanding and folding "Sail" that catch the solar energy and gives power to the ship. Actually, this is a really hard-design ship that surely will be a headache to one of more of the designer but if done well this will be the masterpiece of the Lego functions in any set ever exists .

Wouldn't mind seeing what else TLG didn't release..
SWMAN Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I am can't wait to see pics of summer/fall 2009 legos. I know those won't show up for a while, but I am really excited about the Endor set. Not only will it be a chance to get some Scout Troopers, but it will be a chance to get new Endor troopers and an Endor Han, Luke, and Leia.
Faramir Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Do we know for sure if these are TLC prototypes? They really just look like MOCs to me... kinda like prototype MOCs that the builder never elaborated on.

But it was nice, really nice EDIT: Hey everyone.if you've already viewed the pics once from your computer, you can still see them.Go into file, and click work offline.Then, press Ctrl+H (History) and go into brickshelf.All the sets you veiwed will still be there I still have all pics on my computer Edited August 22, 2008 by legoman
lfadn Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 If you guys wanted me to I could upload them, I have all the sw and the indy set pics on my pc (I've lernt to save anything i see now after the FIRST death star pic form the Lego replacement part service)
commander_kitten Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 How are any of these sets exept the clone attack shuttle related to the film I saw it yesterday, maybe lucas animation has already shown lego a few images from the CW TV series and made sets from them.
ElisHelrot Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 The sets don't look so great, but i like the small one with the assassin droids
