LEGOMAN132 Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 If we get Endor dose this mean we will get The Second Death Star's shield generator base and may be a new AS-ST and lots o ewoks new princess leia that would be cool and a new hat mold
Justin2224 Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 dudewhere talking about original trilogy here not that episode 3 crap Endor is episode VI, not III. Go watch the movies, sheesh. If we get Endor does this mean we will get The Second Death Star's shield generator base and maybe a new AT-ST and lots o Ewoks, and a new Princess Leia. That would be cool, and a new hat mold for the Rebels. Yes that would be cool, but it said playset, I think. So it'll probably be the Door to the Shield Bunker, 2 AT-ST Drivers, 2 Endor Rebels, 2 Scout Troopers, an AT-ST, and maybe an Ewok. It seems we are getting Taun Tauns, so we may also get a set with more Ewoks. Since we got the AT-AT to go with the Hoth Base, we may get an Imperial Shuttle with Luke, a Shuttle Pilot, Vader and an Imp. Officer. But I may be totally wrong and we get a complete shield bunker and alot of new and good figs. In this case, I hope to be wrong. P.S. LEGOMAN 132, I corrected your grammatical errors and fixed your AS-ST or whatever.

In fact I would like a whole line of endor stuff, I think it would sell extremely well, hopefully more of that will come in 2009 and 2010!
Justin2224 Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Well I think we already have our 2009 line up. I guess we could start a 2010 wishlist thread . But, yeah Endor as well as Hoth, and Tatooine from episode IV would be nce to see a whole line of, although we saw some Tatooine, more would be cool.

We haven't seen much from tatooine, i mean just Mos eisly cantina, the sandcrawler, pod races, wattos junkyard, the sail barge, haha well i guess that is a good amount of tatooine after all But i agree with you we need more endor, hoth and a tantive IV would be awesome.

Casval Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Judging from the images on Brickshelf, I will probably be getting 2-4 Clone Battle Packs, the AAT, and the Republic Dropship thing. The last two mainly for clones and for some more Jedi. I want to have a fully stocked RGS and AT-TE. I will probably cannibalize the walker in the battle packs (it looks nice, but I would rather make a small four-legged walker).
Oky Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) The more I look at the clone BP walker, the less I like it. But at least it's a nice parts pack for creating a normal, one-seat AT-RT and has a Republic insignia piece. Btw, I would like it much better if Mace Windu had a head that looks more like that of the Shaquille O'Neal fig: Therefore, I hope these pics are still preliminary, even though they look quite final. If TLG doesn't change Windu's head, I'll just BL the O'Neal head and swap 'em. I also hope the Attack Shuttle won't be more than 50 bucks, seeing as the torrent which is of about equal size was more than that. 2009 ON! Edited August 25, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi
lotus10 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Welcome lotus10! Don't forget to introduce yourself here. BTW are you from FBTB? Your name sounds familiar to me... plus your avatar is in the same style as the ones from over there. Thanks! Yes, it's me!
Tarfful Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) The more I look at the clone BP walker, the less I like it. That's just what I'b beginning to think. First of all - who's ever heard of a two person open walker? Secondly - the minifig selection is rather poor. The Gunner minifig seems a bit too random, TLG should've of put him in 7665 to begin with. I'd rather TLG give us a generic blue or red ARC minifig instead of the Gunner fig included. Or - TLG could alternate between a variety of color choices for the fourth fig, i.e. - blue, red, green, yellow, and black. That way we wouldn't know which "mystery" ARC we would get with our BP. This way more people would be willing to buy more BP's to complete their collections, which would make more money for TLG and all the varying ARC's would make us SW AFOL's a lot happier. Everybody wins! ...and it has a Republic insignia piece. Actually it doesn't, it's a Republic Insignia sticker on a light bley 2x2 round plate. -Tarfful EDIT: Rephrased a lot of stuff to make my statements clearer and easier to read. EDIT 2: Didn't want to double post so... Thanks! Yes, it's me! Shah-wheat! I knew I recognized your name from somewhere. BTW I registered over at FBTB a long time ago, but I haven't posted as of yet; though I do browse the forums quite frequently. Annie-weighs - Since this is the '09 SW set thread and all, what do you think of the '09 sets so far? Edited August 25, 2008 by Tarfful
KimT Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 The Battle Packs contain more than minifigs for one simple reason: TLG doesn't have the action fig license and making a box with only figs counts as a action fig release. Hence TLG adds some bricks = a small model, to avoid lawsuits from action fig producers. So do not expect super models in the Battle Packs. I'll buy the clone battle pack and built one of the walkers, just to try it (and take pics). After that the spare parts (everything but minifigs) goes into the sorting bin. Now, I've noticed comments on members' grammar and spelling. Please stop that right now. This is a WORLD WIDE fan site and we've got members from all over. We do not expect all to spell and write English like a native speaker. Our members do their best to participate and unless you've got serious problems understanding their post, then don't correct or flame. Consider this is a friendly warning.
Mocha Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 The more I look at the clone BP walker, the less I like it. yeah... me too.... look at 7250 clone walker and then at the clone walker BP
KimT Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 yeah... me too.... look at 7250 clone walker and then at the clone walker BP Didn't you read my post?

The models are crap and the minifigs rock. No need to cry more about this now.
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I don´t get it. Why are so many people unhappy with the Clone Walker. It´s not like they didn´t made crappy buildings in the first 4 BPs and I think that this is, besides the Rebel Scout Speeder, the best Extra-Building that they could do. Who are these people, that are unhappy, anyway? It looks like they are the children, that came to Star Wars because of the stupid movie. That explains also why nobody reads KimTs posts...

It looks like they are the children, that came to Star Wars because of the stupid movie. That explains also why nobody reads KimTs posts... I said that I was unhappy with the design of the clone walker, and I am not a child who is new to SW, thank you very much. What would that have to do with my opinion on the design of a set or with the reading of posts anyway? I just think that it looks kinda stupid while the speederbike in the old clone BP and the carrier in the droid BP at least looked decent. In fact, I loved the speederbikes, which might influence my disappointment in this walker. But I have admitted that it has upsides as well, so I didn't say that it's total crap. I never said anything against the "extra-buildings" in the BPs in general either. What's up with all the complaining about peoples' complaints lately? Sure, some or most of these complaints may not be justified, but they are the opinions of those people, and you shouldn't complain about that! So please stop it!
Bobskink Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Therefore, I hope these pics are still preliminary, even though they look quite final. If TLG doesn't change Windu's head, I'll just BL the O'Neal head and swap 'em. ofcourse they are preliminary, remember the early pictures of the 2008 sets, the orks had yellow hands, Indy and his father had an oteher faces.... etc. I also noticed that the cows for the 2009 sets seem to be handpainted. When the sets will be released I'm sure that everything will be finetuned by Lego. Anyway, these seem like good sets after the disapointment from the first Clone Wars sets and expensive Deathstar. I only want clone troopers, so I'll just wait a few more months before buying my first Clone Wars set and it seems that the Darth Vader from the Tie is the new version, you can see it on the picture on the box itself.
Skipper 24 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I agree these are most likely preliminary but the basic structures will be the same. I sure hope the mace head on the shuttle isn't real. I have the original non LUL Mace who has a cool head I guess a dark skinned classic smiley wouldn't be to bad for the collection.
Derek Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I hope that the Tauntaun and Corporate Alliance Droid sets are real, and are battle packs. I can see them being larger, maybe $20 and with boxes the same size as the Castle Troll cart and Skeleton prison Carriage.
The Crazy One Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) Mace Windu's head had better be changed for purposes of keeping the colection anlong the same type of models. I really like the shuttle but the rainbow missile come on Lego. Anyway, a very good set line up. Edited August 25, 2008 by The crazy one
ADHO15 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I know Wiki isn't the most reliable but it was correct about the summer 08 sets and the death star before pics where released. Anyway, here's what it has to say about summer 09: Clone Walker Battle Pack 8014 Clone Gunner (Clone Wars), Clone Trooper (Clone Wars) (two), ARC Trooper 2009 Assassin Droids Battle Pack 8015 Grey Assassin Droid (three), Black Assassin Droid (two) 2009 Hyena Droid Bomber 8016 Space Battle Droid (three) 2009 Separatist AAT 8018 Yoda (Clone Wars), Clone Trooper (Clone Wars), Battle Droid, Super Battle Droid (two) 2009 Republic Attack Shuttle 8019 Mace Windu (Clone Wars), Clone Trooper (Clone Wars), Clone Pilot (Clone Wars) 2009 Sets in 2009 For January look in the table. In summer 2009 these new sets realeseas: -The Arrest of Senator Palpatine (T'r'U exclusive)(Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Senator Palpatine, Senator's Guard) -Count Dooku's Solar Sailor (T'r'U exclusive) (Count Dooku, 2 pilot droids) -The Clone Wars Y-Wing (Pilot, Droid) -Forest of Endor Playset (Should be a set with 8 minifigures) -Battle of Hoth Playset (with 6 Minifigures) -10th Anniversary Edition: Millenium Falcon (with 10 exclusive Minifigures) -10th Anniversary Edition: Republic Star Destroyer (20 Minifigures) I hope it's right, apart from the Palpatine's Arrest set (the figs are a bit dissapointing as I was expecting new Jedi). The other sets sound great (and expensive).
Coolwhip Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Am I the only one who would love to see saesee tinn in palpatine's arrest, if they were to release this set of course. I want that minifig!
Light Light Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) If that Palpatine Arrest set you stated is true, then I too am disappointed. A great opportunity for TLG to produce two great Jedi Masters who have very few appearances throughout the prequel trilogy, and TLG passes it and replaces them with a guard WHO WASN'T IN THE SCENE... And if it does come with a guard, TLG will probably just give us a Royal Guard. However, maybe they have something special planned for that Republic Star Destroyer with it's rumored 20 figs. Am I the only one who would love to see saesee tinn in palpatine's arrest, if they were to release this set of course. I want that minifig! I totally agree with you. Saesee it a more important fig to me than Agen Kolar right now. After all, next Anakin, Saesee is the Order's most skilled pilot. If TLG is willing to create a new sculpt for Admiral Ackbar, then they can also make one for Saesee. IF this set is being released. Edited August 25, 2008 by Light Light

But I also want Agen Kolar and Anakin, and I want Palpatine to be Chancellor Palpatine, not Senator. Another reason why I don't trust Wiki.

The other sets sound great (and expensive). Republic star destroyer hoth and endor playsets. Sounds expensive. Hope its true. I'd probably get 2 republic star destroyers even if the are pretty high priced. I better start saving. Wouldn't it mean that that Palpatines arrest will come with a blue guard rather than a red. I hope they do.
