The Who Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 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. I've been busy during Christmas, so: 1-Where are the pictures of the Endor, Taun-Taun,and Venator sets? And 2-The onlyTaun-Taun picture I'veseen was in the super-huge Hoth MOC, and it was custom cast by a pro that sold a few on ebay.

He has a trader magazine of the sets and he cant display them because they are stamped with confidential. Id like to see them to but hes not allowed to or he will get in big trouble.
Tim Bit Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Sorry KimT.On topic. Where are we talking of these 501st clones from. I dont remeber anyone saying there would be the 501st troopers (As in the guy who released the news of the pics) Anyways. Theyd be nice, I just dont see lego releasing a certain type of clone infatry like the 501st or 212th if you know what I mean. SENATE GUARDS. I cant wait. Ive always wanted these figures. New city pics just came out. Hopefully star wars is next. I meant senate gurads not 501 troops. Yes there will have to be some guy who ignores the confidential stamp and posts them.
CloneMe Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 I meant senate gurads not 501 troops.Yes there will have to be some guy who ignores the confidential stamp and posts them. My bad. I got confused. But senate guards are the best. To be honest, knowing people do that I hope someone does. And its probably gonna happen.
Tim Bit Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 My bad. I got confused. But senate guards are the best. To be honest, knowing people do that I hope someone does. And its probably gonna happen. I always wanted the ventator now that I know we get two senate guards my want has doubled. I hope they do new faces to. The palpatine sounds good too.
Bobskink Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Some of the prices are again really high. I still haven't bought my first Clone Wars set jet, i wonder if i will do it in 2009. Count Dooku is also rather diasapointing, his hairpiece doesn't look like his hair from the movies or cartoons. Or am I mistaking?

Or am I mistaking? It actually is kinda like the clone wars. Same Here Tim Bit. The Venator is my forite ship and the likely hood of me getting 2 or more is really high.

Darth_Legois Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 yea por KimT, anywayDont you like the set? Personelly I think it's pretty cool and I might get it on sale Because it is quite overpriced Plus the skele foot is pretty creative But I guess I'll decide when I see a review LOL Your calling me the stalker when you keep replying right after me! 10 mins after I post you did too! ..The stalker is getting stalked! Anyway well the main issue is the *drumroll* price! Well the AUSD and its exclusive to *drumroll* Toys R Us! Anyway lets not female canine about AUSD prices here... Also I would've preferred if they had used the Magna guards from LSWI they we're more "brickbuilt" and I think looked cooler. oh well. Oh oh I think this set is starting to grow on me!! *Sigh* Well I was only going to get Vader's Tie next year for SW...So I guess it might justify another purchase of a SW set... Yea a review pretty much makes up my mind.
JINZONINGEN73 Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Can't help but notice the new Dooku sets have trans purple cones on the droids' force pike things. I thought Lego said ALL purple was gone for good? Hopefully this means they've reconsidered.
JimBee Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 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. Is this the snail tank? In any case, it doesn't seem too interesting at the moment. 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. At the risk of sounding cliche'd, this is just as I suspected; an add-on to the Hoth Rebel Base from '07, hopefully modular. I will definitely get this set, and hopefully the Hoth Rebel Base along with 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. Any idea on what it looks like? The "green guy" is presumably Nute Gunray, but I have no clue who the fig in orange could be. For now, this remains a mystery. 8037 Anakin's Y-wing Starfighter ™: Basically the design from the clone war animation with Anakin, Ashoka and R2-D2. Sounds interesting enough, hopefully it will be less than the rumored 50 USD. 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. Now this sounds very interesting! The figs all sound great, especially those Endor rebels. I hope you're right about the AT-ST. 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. Maybe, just maybe, this will be the Venator from Episode III, at the beginning. It would be much better to have a non-CW Palpy, and hopefully it will include 501st troopers. New pics of ashoka starfighter and Count Dooku's solar sailer on Lego's cache. 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 Thanks a lot, you two! As Oky Wan said, it's odd that the Magnaguards don't have those black markings on their capes. Using a foot as the pilot droid's head seems awfully strange, but I won't know until I see it for myself. Count Dooku looks surprisingly good, even if he is CW style. Awesome torso and lightsaber hilt; it looks like TLG brought back the old mold from 2002 instead of just using Asaaj's. It looks chrome to me... if it is, this set must be exclusive. Poor KimT , The SW Forum need's atleast 2 Mod's to handle all the traffic and offtopic posts... No, KimT is doing a fine job by himself, it's just that some people fail to listen... Can't help but notice the new Dooku sets have trans purple cones on the droids' force pike things.I thought Lego said ALL purple was gone for good? Hopefully this means they've reconsidered. Apparently not. The trans-purple pieces (lately) have appeared in the Magnaguard Starfighter, Assassin Droid BP, and Solar Sailer as 1x1 cones, and in the Republic Dropship as a lightsaber blade. Maybe they decided to hold off on canceling purple, or decided against it entirely. Whatever it is, hopefully purple is here to stay.

Hopefully this means they've reconsidered. I didnt know they got rid of prurple. It is transparent just like maces lightsaber. I wouldnt count on them bringing it back. When did this happen. I dont remeber this happening. Why did they decide this?
ProducePrincess Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/mousekiller/dd/dooku.jpg this is probably already posted but i found this on Brickshelfs frontpage. I guess its from the solar sailer ship. Nice face on count dooku eh Edit : 5 seconds after posting this i notice better pictures of the full set are right above ,sorry Edited December 27, 2008 by Black Rabbit

Darth_Legois Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Psst !CopMike Sweet! Well I always thought if they did discontinue purple, Would'nt Trans-purple stay? Since its transparent? Anyway Echo Base & Endor set sound pretty cool! I think Echo Base will go well with my AT-AT, 7666 & 4501 I hope its one of those Black uniformed Imperial Officer's in the Endor set. Yay for Return Of The Scoutroopers! Edited December 27, 2008 by Darth_Legois
baby Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Count Dooku got a bend lightsaber hilt? I thought it was a normal hilt (I just realize). Great! I like the purple color cone, got them from the Magna Guards set and they fit it right. Edited December 27, 2008 by baby
Darth Legolas Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) People, don't you notice the Trans-purple on Mace Windu's lightsaber, and more commonly, on the Assassin droids BP? It's in the rockets. So trans-purple will be staying! And listen carefully: Lego said they aren't making purple PLASTIC, but in the event a random and important clone with purple markings on his head comes up, tthey would still make that minifiure, because that requires purple ink on the white pieces, and not purple plastic. Also, those Dooku pics are 4 days old. Edited December 27, 2008 by Darth Legolas

General Armendariz Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 I just got the hyena droid for x-mas I havent built it yet but I will! Todays my birthday!!! YAY!!!!
Darth Legolas Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Senate Commandos! Dooku! Palpatine! Pictures! Edited December 27, 2008 by Darth Legolas
Captain REX Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 where did you find this? Can you post the whole thing?
darkrebellion Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Thanks A LOT for that pic Darth Legolas . The Senate Commandos look awesome as minifigs but I need to admit that Palpy isn´t the best minifig yet . He looks so horrible being honest .
Darth Legolas Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 where did you find this? Can you post the whole thing? Brickmaster, I'll put up more pics later, By the way, the mini Venator is A LOT bigger than I expected.
The Penguin Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Thanks A LOT for that pic Darth Legolas . The Senate Commandos look awesome as minifigs but I need to admit that Palpy isn´t the best minifig yet . He looks so horrible being honest . Well, I guess we can't judge the minifig by its look in the cartoon, can we? ) Dooku also doesn't seem to be quite the same here, and in the set. )
Klaus-Dieter Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Blurry but nevertheless pictures of the "Castle" sets and the new awesome City sets appeared in the last days. So I think - and of course hope - that it won't take a long while until we'll see some blurry pics of the new summer SW sets. I'm very excited if the Endor battle set will come with some big trees and other foliage plants or not and how big the bunker will be. Klaus-Dieter
