Darth Legolas Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 New pics of ashoka starfighter and Count Dooku's solar sailer on Lego's cache. Wow. Well... Lego still has a crummy view of the Solar Sailer (fire the set positioner guy!) The speeder looks great... Dooku...well at least he doesn't have Dracula hair!!!\ There still isn't that much too see on Ahsoka's starfighter, but since she has the same starfighter as Kit Fisto and Obi-Wan it's a must-have set. Are there any more pictures?
sam89 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 I delved deep into LEGO's website and found these links. Click here for a slightly bigger view (plus more pics and zooms!): Count Dooku's Solar Sail Ahsoka's Ship
Darth Legolas Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) I delved deep into LEGO's website and found these links. Click here for a slightly bigger view (plus more pics and zooms!):Count Dooku's Solar Sail Ahsoka's Ship Someone got to this before you, but with the other 6 pictures in the link, Dooku definitely has a curve-hilted saber, infact, it looks like a regular bent one! Nice find, and I hope this mean's they'll be on Shop@home soon. EDIT: When you scroll to the side you can see Ahsoka with R7-A7! EDITEDIT: Upon closer closer look, you can see the pilot droid thingie has a skeleton foot for a head. Edited December 24, 2008 by Darth Legolas
Corvus Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Dooku looks very...em...odd...but at least we'll be getting his 'saber and torso. I guess that's a plus... Also, it seems that the ship has to fly sideways.
Steff Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Thanks for the new pics. Now we need pics of the second half of 2009 and we will have a happy new yeay ;)
-JD- Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) Lovin' the starfighter! The Solar Sailor is ok, so I'll get it. Dooku's expression looks weird. But we get his saber, new hair and a brown hood though. Edited December 24, 2008 by Jammiedodger714
darkrebellion Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Well, firstly commenting on the rumored minifig list I need to said that everything sounds good to the moment, the tank droid sounds good in minifig terms, the Echo Base sounds well... meh but still good, the shuttle sounds awesome in minifig terms (Anyone think in the possibility of a Nute Gunray as the green guy and Ahsoka as the orange guy ), the y-wing sound boring in minifigs, the Endor set sounds awesome with lots of awesome minifigs and the venator sounds good but I was hoping for something different (I don´t get the point of a Chacellor Palpatine , why not include a Jedi that can serve as both CW and normal styles like Plo Koon in this year ). The pics of the Solar Sailor and the Ahsoka Starfighter look awesome. The Ahsoka Starfighter looks better than I expect, especially that R7 unit . The Solar Sailor looks better than I expect and now the set looks superb in my opinion . Dooku looks great without that Dracula hair and the droids look great too , also the speeder looks awesome and the Solar Sailor promising .
ROCON Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 I manage to see the pics from the traders catalog of the following sets and this is what I can describe about the figures in the set...7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid ™: 2 droids and 2 clones with jump packs (the jump packs looks like the classic space oxygen tanks but then they are prelim pics). The tank is basically gray (different shades) in colour. 7749 Echo Base™: One laser turrent with a trench wall. 2 hoth rebel soldiers, 2 snow trooper with one of them holding the "big gun" (Sorry, cannot remember what that thing is called, similar to the one found in the earlier MF) and 1 Taun-taun with, I believe, Han Solo on it. 8036 Separatists Shuttle ™: 3 droids, 1 "green" guy and another person in orange. Unfortunately, I cannot make out the 2 key minifigs as the pics are not very clear. 8037 Anakin's Y-wing Starfighter ™: Basically the design from the clone war animation with Anakin, Ashoka and R2-D2. 8038 The Battle of Endor ™: There will be the "back door" to the base in the forest as seen in the movies. There will be Han Solo, Leia (looks like a new torso, green), R2-D2, 2 rebel soldiers (in green and helmets as seen in the movies), 2 scout troopers with speeders, 2 ewoks(1 on a glider and there is also a catapult) and 1 AT-ST with Chewbecca on it. I cannot see clearly but there might be an imperial officer within the base. 8039 Venator-class Republic Attack Cruiser ™: At first I could not really make out who is that with the wavy hair and the 2 blue figures.... then I realised it is probably Chancellor Palpatine!! Plus the 2 senate guards (is that what they call them...) There will also be a clone trooper officer (I cannot see clearly who is that) and 1 clone trooper. Unfortunately, there are no pics of the other sets mentioned above as the catalog only shows what will be released up to August. Wait, No new cw Kit Fisto. Nooooo! Cool pics though.
Snake...SNAKE...SNAAAAKE?! Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 alas, Dooku looks Identical to the pic in the Comic
legopiotre Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) The new 2009 sets are now available at Legoshop here are the officail french prices : Ahsoka vs vulture droid : 49.99 Edited December 25, 2008 by legopiotre
Erdbeereis Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 So, the Solar Sailer is 67 Euros for a set with 385 pieces and 4 minifigs.... I seriously hope the set won't be that overpriced when it hits U.S. stores. I would guess that it'll be $50 if we're lucky. Ahsoka's fighter is 50 Euros, so I would guess it will be around $40 which is sort of what we expected. But, it's still a crappy price for a set with under 300 pieces. At least the sets still look decent.
Derek Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Yeah, I pretty much need that Dooku set. Right now would be nice!

Bricklanta Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 They look expensive, but i'll buy them anyway. I still haven't bought the At-Te though which is another $100.
CloneMe Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Holy cow. The droid gunship has way more peices in it compared to ahsokas fighter but its still $10.00 cheaper. Ill still have to get it though.
Future74 Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) Merry Christmas everybody... The official prices (Euro's) from Lego in the Netherlands are: Ahsoka vs vulture droid : 44,99 Battle packs: 14,99 Hyena droid bomber : 29,99 AAT : 49,99 Count Dooku solar's spaceship : 79,99 Darth Vader's TIES : not available yet. Prices are steep... and more expensive on most parts compared to France Edited December 25, 2008 by Future74
The Penguin Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Hmm, it seems that Dooku has new hairpiece! )
Klaus-Dieter Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 I manage to see the pics from the traders catalog of the following sets and this is what I can describe about the figures in the set...[...] 7749 Echo Base™: One laser turrent with a trench wall. 2 hoth rebel soldiers, 2 snow trooper with one of them holding the "big gun" (Sorry, cannot remember what that thing is called, similar to the one found in the earlier MF) and 1 Taun-taun with, I believe, Han Solo on it.

I cannot see clearly but there might be an imperial officer within the base. [...] Unfortunately, there are no pics of the other sets mentioned above as the catalog only shows what will be released up to August. Thank you very much for that news, ultraman_bc! That's really brilliant news! To the 7749 Echo Base: Great to see TLG releasing a BP with both Snowtroopers and Hoth Rebel Troopers in it! And we finally get a Tauntaun! The only thing which I wouldn't like is if the minifig on the Tauntaun will be Han - a Rebel Commander (or at least a Hoth Luke minifig) would me much, much, much better! To the 8038 The Battle of Endor: Sound really good! I'm very surprised to hear that there'll be two Endor Rebel Troopers included in this set - personally I would have prefered some DS Troopers (since I'm not aible to afford the DS). Lots of minifigs! What did I say?! - There'll be an AT-ST in the set! The base will surely be only very little - so let's hope that there'll be some interior in it! Imperial Officer - did you see whether he wears a black suit? - That would be ! To the other sets of which there aren't pics: I think that they'll be all S@H Exclusives - at least the Home One playset. Klaus-Dieter
Dennimator Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 I was looking for the new sets on LEGO.com and found the Solar Sailer. It was WAY overpriced (779 SEK for 385 pcs, around $85), but there was some pics on Dooku. Here is a link to the pics.
Naith Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Wow nice find i acutally really like the look of that new dooku thanks
Oky Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) Hmm, it seems that Dooku has new hairpiece! ) Yes, it seems to be the one seen in the Chandler, Arizona, display case: I'm not sure how satisfied I am with that. I think I'll have to hold the minifig in my own hand to judge that. But I can say that I like his face! It's (like all the others CW heads) very accurate to the original! There are some things that disappoint me about the Sailer. I was almost sure that the MagnaGuards with the stripes printed on their shoulders from Legoworld would be in this set, but it doesn't seem to be this way. Now I wonder where those will be included. There just has to be an explanation for the printed ones being shown at Legoworld. The other thing that disappoints me, as I stated a few pages back, is the pilot droid. I mean, a skellie foot for a head? WTF, TLG! Also, it shouldn't have feet! Another bummer of sorts is the fact that the speeder doesn't seem to fit into the Sailer. It makes more sense this way, I guess, but it would have been a neat play feature. Now I wonder if the Sailer does anything interesting except for storing the Magnas inside the "trunk" and pointlessly opening its "shell". I think I'll get this set. It's still better (although a ittle more expensive ) than the MagnaGuard Starfighter. I just hope that the US doesn't have to wait to get this exclusive as it did for the Fighter Tank!

Dennimator Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Wow nice find i acutally really like the look of that new dooku thanks No prob. I won´t buy the set because of its price, but I might buy some of the hairpieces from BL.
KimT Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 This belongs in the picture and rumor topic - so I'll move it there.
ultraman_bc Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 To the 8038 The Battle of Endor:Sound really good!

Imperial Officer - did you see whether he wears a black suit? - That would be ! Klaus-Dieter It does look black to me so it could be one of the DS troopers. But, that part of the pic is not clear becos of the "CONFIDENTIAL" stamp so I cannot really determine the type of figure there. One other thing, just to elaborate a bit more, since some members raised the questions, Taun-taun -- the only movable part seems to be the "hands" and hind legs. Think of it like the dragons from the castle series, only that the head seems to part of a single mold with the body and tail. As for the rider, I guess it to be Han becos' the figure is wearing the dark blue winter clothing. Venator Cruiser -- The box art showed only 5 figures (displayed in front like the other clone wars sets) so I believe this is all you can find in the set.
