voltio Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 And I don't see how the legs are more technical, they're still built mainly out of system pieces. I reackon the legs on this model are way better than the legs on the last one. As a former owner of the old AT-TE, I can assure you that almost any new leg design would be an improvement. If one applies pressure to the top of the old 4482, the "system" legs separate from the body. Plus, they are hard to pose (not flexible, with stiff joints). The legs on the 4482 were so bad, Lego had to modify the design during the production run and issue service packs (I can post scans of the changes if anyone is interested). I'm sure that adding more TECHNIC to the legs will make them stronger and better articulated. For this reason, I see the new AT-TE as a great step forward. *wub*
M4RCU5 Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Btw, if anyone could tell me where to find the V-Wing, please tell me! ;-) the best ship in star wars and you dont no where it is X-O end of ep3 guiding emporer palp's shuttle :-D apparently the new gunship has 10 clonies not sure if they're all the same though *y* :-D X-D ;-) :-)

PS: Would you think that more TECHNICal legs would be an improvement if it means that the thing is motorized as some speculated earlier? I do! But at this point I still think that an improved walking mechanism would be more likely because of the price and the name and all... no probs Welcome to Eurobricks btw, dude! ;-)
baby Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 nice find. Hopefully we get to see the new Republic Gunship pic
CopMike Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Why does it seem like they keep making up Star Wars ships. None of these were in the movies! Maybe except the AT-TE...but still, come on! *sing* Yes, on the contrary to the "real" ships that you see around town every day :-|!As mentioned before SW is MUCH larger than just the 3+3 movies. Now the new series is coming, there
steelharbingerofdeath Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 v-wings were also in the opening space battle you see several blown up and shooting droids in the background, also you see one when obi wan is onboard the star destroyer talking to commander cody. steel...
Trudop561 Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I'm now waiting for a review of that AT-TE. Hope I will get it for christmas 2008, maybe before. The legs have been remake, the ancients were crap. Don't order it when it will be available, it's too early. I will wait for months after to get it, I could be very affraid if I see it in the top 5 of Lego 25 sellers :-X

Trudop561 Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Look at this : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2893908 We have a better view of the names. But why anakin has a clone trooper armor?
Wout Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Pity if that Asoka is only in the big set I don't want. |-/ Oh well, we see if it really is.
ZoL Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Hmmmm so the Manga Guard ship looks like the P-38, now that is really strange to say the least *wacko* I sure hope we get some Manga Droids and not the outlined Battle Droids, as prelim pics we can sure hope. The V-19 looks like a sleek well built design so far, i'm guessing we will get some pilots only with this one. As for the AT-TE that's also looking good so far, though it's not all that different from the first version. As these are prelim pics i take it that the outlined stormies will be replaced by the pictured Ep 2 Clonies, oh and the Blue STAAP looks cool also. Thanks for the pics Hobbes_Sg *y* I have to agree here. The AT-TE is pretty good, but not changed all that much.
xwingyoda Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 But why anakin has a clone trooper armor? Guys, how many times do we have to tell you that all these pics are preliminary pics and as such all Mfs and final design are subject to change !! Maybe they added that solely for the box arrt to see how many figs will be in the set... *yoda*
pedro Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 For everyone's information the first batch of Star Wars 2008 sets are now available at Shop@Home! :-D
Clonecommando007 Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 You guys know how the Droid starfigher was Brown in episode 1 under the control of the Trade Feds? And in episode 3 it was dark blue because of the CIS coloring? Since the STAP was only seen in the first movie and all the vehichles were brown, maybe that's why we all thing that a STAP is only brown. Maybe it changed to Dark blue later on in the CW, and that light blue it's wearing in the AT-TE picture is just a fill in for the Dark Blue pictures!!!
sam89 Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I'm pretty sure I remember seeing some blue STAPs in the trailer for the new Clone Wars series. Anakin was jumping between them and taking them down.
TheCloneWalker Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 The AT-TE pales into insignificance compared to mutley's. Plus, why does the magna droid fighter only have 2 S-Battle-Droids? Incorrect figure inclusion NOT ON! *n* TCW
Scouty Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Plus, why does the magna droid fighter only have 2 S-Battle-Droids?Incorrect figure inclusion NOT ON! *n* TCW As if this hasn't been said plenty of times (I'm trying to be nice :-) ), but these are Preliminary sets. Be mindful that these figures will change, as well (possibly) as parts. :-)

Professor Flitwick Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) Sorry already revealed. Edited December 31, 2007 by professor flitwick
Darth_Legois Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) I know what you mean (I can't spot the V-Wing anywhere in the movies or cartoon show :-( ), but these are from the upcoming "The Clone Wars" CG-animated show and will be released around the time the series starts (Fall). So, you're kind of right by saying they're making 'em up, but it's not TLC, it's the designers working on the show and of course Lucas who's working with them! I think EU is great, but if you don't like it... *sad*Btw, if anyone could tell me where to find the V-Wing, please tell me! ;-) Umm that v-wing is in the Clone Wars Series its in Volume 1 :-| http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/V-19_Torrent_starfighter Edited December 31, 2007 by Darth_Legois_619
Legoman Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 :-| :-| thats a V-19 torrent, not a v-wing.from what i know the v-wing was only ever shown for about 15 secounds and that was in ep 3. ;-)
