trooperdavinfelth Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Yeah, maybe a little sarcasm. I just think that all these non-movie sources (cartoons, video games, lunch boxes, ;-) etc.) are a sign that the Star Wars license is running out of steam. I suppose that's to be expected after almost ten years. Most of the iconic ships have been made TWICE, and just about every conceivable character has been made (except Admiral Ackbar, dammit!!). I dunno, maybe I'm just a grumpy old man, but I don't care about EU sets. For me, the appeal of the Star Wars license has always been two-fold: 1) nice set design, and 2) nostalgia. With the EU stuff, #2 is non-existent. And while #1 might still be there, I'm not sure that it's enough to get me purchase. I see your point, but here's mine: The only reason (IMHO) that TLC is bringing out all these bonus sets on the SW line now is because they don't want to end this way. They know there are more OT and PT fans than EU, so they're doing the EU now so when they reach '11, they'll close off the final years with some OT and PT stuff! ;-)
Order66 Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 YESSSS Finally episode 2 clones that made my F!@#!@# day! Wow ive been waiting such a long time for ep 2 clones now time to get me a RPG and a AT-TE for sure and whatever else has ep 2 clones:) oh and the rebels for this year as well;)
Asuka Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 It's the Alliance Bobsled Team!! Yeah, it seems they had a lot of leisure time at Hoth.... :-P
Piranha Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 EP2 Clones!!! This is bad or good at the same time, I don't like the design of them but maybe they will be in different colors like blue or green I don't think *yoda* will be too pleased with the news X-D Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see some pics! *sweet* P
Looking for a display name Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 why dont yoda like episode 2 clones?
Scouty Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 "don't" should be "doesn't" ;-) . And *yoda* loves Ep. 2 clones...or that could be some one else...I'm not sure X-D . This set list certainly looks interesting, I can't wait to see what it has.
hollisbrick Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Thoae set names almost look as good as those rebels! *wub* Thanks for the updates!
Joebot Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 I see your point, but here's mine: The only reason (IMHO) that TLC is bringing out all these bonus sets on the SW line now is because they don't want to end this way. They know there are more OT and PT fans than EU, so they're doing the EU now so when they reach '11, they'll close off the final years with some OT and PT stuff! ;-) I like this theory a lot. I hope you're right! I wonder if TLC plots stuff out that far in advance though. I've always read they have about a two-year product development cycle (from initial concept to release). Do you think they've got the 2011 SW sets charted out? I guess they might, at least in some rough conceptual form. I dunno. It's a great theory though. I really hope TLC ends the license with a big bang, rather than just letting it fizzle out over the final couple of years.

Piranha Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) If only there was an EP2 clone BP!! :'-) It would complete the army building of all armies and I'm sure a certain green jedi would love it and be the strongest supporter :-P X-D I'm thinking a super BP with not 4 but 8 Clones!Also has an AT-something Soo much news! I really like the rebel soldiers!It took long enough, but finally after 7 years from the first Lego stormtrooper we get a rebel trooper :-D P Edited December 7, 2007 by Piranha
Big T Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 I am going to buy a bunch of those Rebel Battlepacks...they look so cute. Reminds me of when I first saw the Darth Vader minifig. But then I'll have to buy a bunch of Stormie battlepacks to keep the numbers in favour of the Empire... Battlepacks are going to be the death of my income
