Erdbeereis Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I'm loving the black accessories! The clone gunner looks very nice as well. Thanks for the news!
ADHO15 Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) First post has been updated with some more prices.This time in GBP. Thanks to ADHO15 for the info. You're welcome. I agree with everyone else. I think the black pistols go better with the blasters. The pauldrons are grey (see Rex) and the kamas are black so you can mix the two colours up. It's good that we get these in a different color. This way we'll have more variety in our commanders and captains. Also, this gives us hope that we might get them in even more colors in the future, like for example orange! I'd like to see different grey pauldons with the left side coloured like the commander's armour (blue for Rex, orange for Cody, green for Gree, etc.) No offense to anyone who makes these but I don't think the custom fabric ones look good on LEGO. Some surprising costs here...Not with the battlepacks - ?8.99 is the usual price The Hyena Droid has an unusual price for Star Wars - ?17.99 and not ?14.99? The TIE advanced has a very odd price tag - ?26.99. (Why not ?24.99 TLG?) I am very happy withe the prices of the largest sets- ?36.99 or something similar for the AAT is good. I also like the ?44.99 price tage for the Shuttle - LESS THAN THE V-19! I'l definately get that! I'm chuffed with the low prices too. I wasn't going to buy the Hyena Droid Bomber but now it's so cheap, I might just. Edited December 8, 2008 by ADHO15
darkrebellion Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Wow, that battlepack looks cool . I like the new clone gear more than the grey ones this looks a lot more cloneish . The new gunner is a superb minifig and the whole set is a nice addition to the collection.
TheBrickHitHouse Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 ohh new black clone gear Remind me - in the show is the clone gear black or grey?
hollisbrick Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Wow the clones are beautiful Much better and filled with more stuff than the last CBP!!! It's good to see that there's a different colour to the accessories!!! Can't wait to get my grubby hands on them It's perfect! and the walker is, well...kinda quite Thanks for the find!
Darth_Legois Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Woah I think black looks even better! Now I will have to get more of them.
JimBee Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I'm not sure, but did you guys see this Clone Battlepack Review from Brickshelf? Nope, this is new. Thanks a lot! I won't use the equipment anyway, I'll keep him a regular clone trooper. Same here. I'll save the armor for my commanders/ captain (Rex, Fox, Cody), to switch out their bley. The walker is growing on me... but it still looks stupid. I'm definitely gonna mod it into a one-seater. It's almost as bad as two people on one motorcycle in Mercenaries 2.
The Who Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 It's almost as bad as two people on one motorcycle in Mercenaries 2. Try 2 droids on one stap. On topic---I imagine that it will look nice to combine colors. Like black kama, grey pauldron (or painted), and black guns. Might have to use that walker to start up a moc of the 'turret' or gun the new trooper goes with...
halomaster96 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 In the last picture of the clone walker review, Captain Rex is in it. Is he in any 2009 set?
Corvus Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Black gear...I'm so happy. TLC is definetely learning. Good job, TLC!
Oky Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I'll save the armor for my commanders/ captain (Rex, Fox, Cody), to switch out their bley. I wont switch the paudrons on Rex and Cody because they look grey in the series. However, I will switch the antennas since they are definitely black. I imagine that it will look nice to combine colors. Like black kama, grey pauldron (or painted), and black guns. Seconded. If such a combo looks good, I'll exchange the kamas on my Cody and Rex (and maybe Fox). The black looks so stealthy.... Sconded also.
Derek Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I don't know what to think about the black gear in the Battle Pack. Maybe I'll like it when I actually have it in front of me.
Oliverphoenix Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) I am quite surprised by the UK prices as I expected them to cost a lot more considering the first wave of Clone wars was quite expensive,even the AAT which I expected to be £50 isn't to bad and I expected the Hyena to be at least £25 as well. I hope Ashoka's starfighter has a reasonable price tag,also don't like the black gear much in the battlepack...I prefer it grey. Edited December 9, 2008 by Oliverphoenix
Corvus Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 also don't like the black gear much in the battlepack...I prefer it grey. I know what you mean. The colors of them are grey-ish in the movie, but what I don't like about the bley is that it's just so...bley. It lacks something. Maybe I could paint colors onto them. The black looks better on the lego, even though it's not accurate. Maybe if there was something in between. Blay- blackish-grey.
Tim Bit Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 In the last picture of the clone walker review, Captain Rex is in it. Is he in any 2009 set? No he isn't in any Jan sets. It was just posted to show how it looks on a commander.
Ras 74 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 A mix match will be in it´s place as soon as I got those for sure. Nice that TLC gives us various colours. But why didn´t they made them light-bluich-grey from the beginning? Maybe to compensate that some things where grey, other black. Hope they will make them l-b-g as well. -Ras-
JimboJones Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 No he isn't in any Jan sets. It was just posted to show how it looks on a commander. I think he means the very last picture of the scene. Thats weird.
lemming Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Just wanted to confirm the UK prices and show you this: http://www.forbiddenplanet.com/search/Slego%20star%20wars Forbidden planet are showing stock expected for 19th of Jan on all the new sets
pr0visorak Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Just wanted to confirm the UK prices and show you this:http://www.forbiddenplanet.com/search/Slego%20star%20wars Forbidden planet are showing stock expected for 19th of Jan on all the new sets Thanks for the link Now I can gage the prices that will come in singapore.
Captain REX Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I wont switch the paudrons on Rex and Cody because they look grey in the series. However, I will switch the antennas since they are definitely black.Seconded. If such a combo looks good, I'll exchange the kamas on my Cody and Rex (and maybe Fox). Sconded also. Cody doesn't have a pauldron or a kama. The only thing of specialness he has is a visor which i painted orange.
Pencoin Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I don't really like SW but I like that black armour, I'll try to get some.
commander_kitten Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 If you look at Rex on the promo picture then you can see rex has a black streak on his helmit, could this be a new rex in another set?
Tim Bit Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 If you look at Rex on the promo picture then you can see rex has a black streak on his helmit, could this be a new rex in another set? Witch promo picture?
ADHO15 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Witch promo picture? He might mean this one. If you look at Rex on the promo picture then you can see rex has a black streak on his helmit, could this be a new rex in another set? I can't see a black streak. The current Rex has a grey line on the 'fin' on his helmet like the one in the picture if that's what you mean?
