Rh3ttyC Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Hey all i quite like these new designs, wonder if they'll do a clonie battle pack for the new theme TLC seems to be using of the animated TV series..... *wub* q: why are the boxes all wonky while the models seem proportionately correct? *wacko* -rh3ttyc P.S i also will wait most eagerly for RGS, mostly because i just spent $200 us on all the pieces for 7163 like a month ago X-O :-(
captaintau Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 4. Mace! Now that would make much more sense
Looking for a display name Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Now that would make much more sense maze is a clone arc trooper so THAT would make even more sense
Darth_Legois Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Seems like everyone has an opinion on what the names are at the bottom i'l just wait for Officialy Pics. *y*
LegoFranks Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Hope these pics might answer some of the queries for the new sets... Finally i can add an AT-TE to my collection *wub* As can I! Mind you, the cockpit design looks far cooler than the original day-glo yellow on the original version! Wahey! Show me the new Republic Gunship! One that I don't have to spend over a hundred quid on ebay for! :o) M.
WookieeWarrior Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 q: why are the boxes all wonky while the models seem proportionately correct? *wacko* -rh3ttyc Probably because these are pictures from a catalog and they didn't flatten the pages.
iamded Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 I assume the Magna Droid Fighter will actually have Magna Droids as opposed to Super Battledroids. The V-19 Torrent has a couple of flick-fire missiles, but other than that it looks nice. But the AT-TE, well, that's the pick of the bunch. A lovely set, looks pretty tough, although I still despise the open turrets. Come on, how easy would it be to take down that gunner? Ah well, that's not TLC's fault, they've done a great job. *y* ~Peace
steelharbingerofdeath Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 it appears the magna droid fighter has a trans black windscreen thingy. if you look closely you can see a SBD through it steel...
iamded Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) it appears the magna droid fighter has a trans black windscreen thingy. if you look closely you can see a SBD through it Not to mention the Super Battledroid silhouettes on the bottom of the box, but these are preliminary pics, and as I said they'll probably be replaced by proper Magna Guards. ~Peace Edited December 30, 2007 by iamded
Belloq Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Not to mention the Super Battledroid silhouettes on the bottom of the box, but these are preliminary pics, and as I said they'll probably be replaced by proper Magna Droids.~Peace I thought they were called Magna Guards. :-| Maybe Magna droids is just a code for super battle droids? I really, really hope it's not. But, then again, it wouldn't be Lego's first technicall error.
spotfrog Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 The choice of windshield is kind of bringing down the appeal of the V-19 for me. Lego should've gone with something like http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=567403 --It simply looks cooler. The AT-TE is excellent, though, I'm glad they stuck with the same design.
johnsocal Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) On this zoomed-up pic I can see that it states there will be 2 clone troopers and Anakin Skywalker, but I can't make out what the others say. Edited December 30, 2007 by johnsocal
Oky Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) |-/ Hm, I don't know... Somehow I feel disappointed. With my high anticipation for The Clone Wars and known coolness of Magna droids in mind, I thought the Magna Droid Fighter to be something totally badass, but now it just turns out to be a simple P-38. Don't get me wrong, it's always good to have a new kind of vehicle, but even for a P-38 it looks kinda lame. But, oh well. I guess, I just have to get over the fact that it's not what I imagined it to be and get used to its design :-| ... Also, needless to say, I refuse to believe that the Super Battle Droids are the final (or the only) minifigs in this set and hope they will be replaced by real Magnas (why else would this be called a "Magna Droid Fighter"), even if they are GI-88s with capes! The V-19 looks pretty good, though. In fact, it looks really good! It has a nice design: the turbines look interesting and the gear sticking out in between the one of them and the cockpit suggests that the side wings move automatically together with the middle wing thingy providing a nice transition from Landing mode to Flight mode and back. The clone in the cockpit still looks like an EP III guy to me, but I'm sure that will change since there is a EP II guy on the pack and in the AT-TE set. Overal, looks like a pretty neat set, but I'm still not sure if I'm gonna get it 8-| ... The AT-TE looks just like a slightly altered version of the old one - in a bad way! The legs look too bulky & TECHNICal (Get it? ;-) ) and they seemed to have added at least one of those damn giant missiles >:-( ! And about that blue STAP... Who knows if it's really gonna be in there or not as the Battle Droid is not mentioned in the Minifig (shadow) list, but I'm sure it's an error like on the Magna Fighter It's not all bad, though. This is a chance for those who miised the last AT-TE to get it now, and it comes with a bunch of EP II clones! Also, there are many reasons for hope! This AT-TE seems to feature less stickers and the TECNIC look of the legs suggests an improved walking mechanism! And as mentioned earlier, the three last stormy shadows in the list seem to be labled with copyrighted names of wich the first one looks very much like "Anakin Skywalker" and the other 2 seem to be Asoka, a young female Togruta Jedi Padawan and Commander who will have her first appearance on The Clone Wars, and Maze, an ARC trooper from Tripple Zero. Could this mean that we get some new (cartoony/alien) Jedis and maybe an ARC trooper with this set? *sweet* ? Time will tell... Edited December 30, 2007 by Oky Wan Kenobi
xwingyoda Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 And did you notice that the three last clone shadows in the list seem to be labled with copyrighted names of wich the first one looks very much like "Anakin Skywalker"? Could this mean that we get some Jedis (or other characters) with this set? *sweet* ? Time will tell... I think we will have new jedi with the bigger set (AT-TE and the super anticipated RGS ;-) ). TLC always included jedi woth big and expensive sets so I don't see why they would endd that pattern in '08 :-P I sure hope we won't have yet another Anie with it |-/ OK we have several "regular" Anies and a "cartoonie" one so novelty would be nice...especially if we have bloody Ep2 clones :-D *yoda*
Shadows Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 I think we will have new jedi with the bigger set (AT-TE and the super anticipated RGS ;-) ). Jedi Jimmy! :-P Great pics though, a lot to look forward to. Going to be a tough year if we really end up with the RGS and the AT-TE, then all those midsized and smaller ones, not to mention Town Plan and all of that ... Bankruptcy On??? 8-
Piranha Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 I would prefer cartoon Anakin in a different outfit maybe. Hood and cape perhaps? The other names read Maze/Mace and another "a" character! Maybe Aayla! P
aayla-secura Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) 2 Clones , Anakin Skywalker , Asoka , Maze ;-) Edit: An Ayla ?? :-$ :'-) How Awesome would be that !! ITS MEEE X-D Edited December 30, 2007 by aayla-secura
xwingyoda Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Jedi Jimmy! :-P NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO X-D I would prefer cartoon Anakin in a different outfit maybe. Hood and cape perhaps? Well not really since you can always add a hood and cape :-P Thats what I've done numerous times. The other names read Maze/Mace and another "a" character! Maybe Aayla! I would *wub* an Aayla and Shaak Ti figs !! But at this stage trying to guess the names on the box is worthless since everything is preliminary :-P Fun for sure but till the finalised pics come out TLC might change several times the MFs in the set - or the certain colours and torso printings ;-) *yoda*
M4RCU5 Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 This AT-TE features less stickers and and the TECNIC look of the legs suggests an improved walking mechanism! the at te has a motor that will dissapoint people i dont mind ill get it anyway *sad*
Piranha Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) 2 Clones , Anakin Skywalker , Asoka , Maze I think we have the guessed names! :-D All make sense and I checked the SW Wikia and they are real characters and are all from the clone wars! But 2 Regular troopers and an ARC Trooper!! Thats less than the first version! I hope there some more troopers and that droid! This will make *yoda* happy, Asoka is a female commander and whats more, she is also the same species as Shaak Tii! :-D Hope these figs don't get scraped cause they sound pretty sweet!

Courleciel Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) There is no picture of the Gunship. *sad* The Clones have episode II helmet or episode III helmet ? 8-| Edited December 30, 2007 by Courleciel

Just be grateful we have what we have, other pics will show up soon enough.
