Vader Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 why do all these sets have to be so linked togeather with clone wars???looking at the current pics, there so CW i won't get any of them... Well it's simply because lego wishes to ride the money train that a new show will generate, you can't really blame them for that and these sets are still well designed. I know it's not great for OT fans only but at least you will get a DS at some point, heck that's gotta be worth waiting for.
Legoman Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Well it's simply because lego wishes to ride the money train that a new show will generate, you can't really blame them for that and these sets are still well designed.I know it's not great for OT fans only but at least you will get a DS at some point, heck that's gotta be worth waiting for. yes but some of the ships could be almost the same just without a few peices and i would buy them.but those few peices that make the set CW might be losing lego a few sales.i dought anyone will only buy CW sets.but it is more likely that people will not buy them becouse they are CW... i know a few people that are not buying these sets for those reasons...
ZoL Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 YEsssssssss Freakin awesome:-) Republic gunship WOOO looks much better than the first. and is that a monkey on the side of it? :-P Woot for 2 new jedi's :):):)EDIT: NOoooo Look at the sides!!! it doesnt have the ball thingy that shoots lazers and where u can put a cloney in :'( Am I the only one here who DOES NOT like Crumb monkey thing? I think it takes away from the set. And yes, they forgot the side ball-guny things! Uurg. Other then that looks good!
Legoman Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Am I the only one here who DOES NOT like Crumb monkey thing? i don't like it either *sweet*
steelharbingerofdeath Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 what is everyones hatred of clone wars stuff all about? OT has been done loads i mean 3 xwings i am sick of the things. and clone wars is part of the saga it ties in directly with the movies so it aint EU! OT has had loads of sets so if you don't want clone wars buy sets off bricklink and stop complaining! steel...
jifel Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) i dont mind the apparent lack of side bubbles, although i dont like the lack of clones, and maybe a new bp plus cool jedi means *y* edit- i just noticed on the atte theres a missle( a spring one) firing from... where? *wacko* jifel Edited January 4, 2008 by jifel
Order66 Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 If people dont like the monkey i tihnk its a sticker cuse lego tends to put stickers on there lego sets SOOO u dont have to put it on :-P Again the clone fighter tank culd be like the new 2008 droid battle pack with 4 clonies or maybe even more who knows.
Legoman Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 1.what is everyones hatred of clone wars stuff all about? OT has been done loads i mean 3 xwings i am sick of the things.2.clone wars is part of the saga it ties in directly with the movies so it aint EU! 3.OT has had loads of sets so if you don't want clone wars buy sets off bricklink and stop complaining! steel... 1.i aggree, lego has gone too far with some sets (x-wing) but there are so many more places to expand to before CW/EU.like buildings, rooms, towns, streets, houses, huts ect but it seems like all they want to make is ships.but even in that area, there ar still a lot of things to make before going to EU. Eg, the 3 queens starships, MF scale Titanive IV, invisible hand, a few different speeders, and lots more. 2.??? no it's not.CW is a kids cartoon! if it's not in a Star Wars movie, it's EU.although the EU is now being more closely tied with the movies via CW, to me, it will never change the fact that most of the vechiles were never in the movies, therefore, making them EU. 3.oh don't worry i will, i just also like New movie sets.i like to think of 2008 as a "catch up year" legoman
Corvus Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Here's a screenshot of the bubble-less RGS from the trailer: Also here's a screenshot of the blue STAP from the trailer, which appears in the AT-TE set: http://www.maj.com/gallery/sam89/Ships/blue_stap.jpg It looks like this particular version of the RGS is a more airtight model, designed for higher elevations... It makes sense, but it does make the sides look pretty bland and boring. :-/ Will
WookieeWarrior Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Well, the RGS looks great, but I'm dreading to see the awful animated face designs for a CW exclusive character like Assajj. It's just too bad they decided to do that.
Commander Andrew of 501 st Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 i dont mind no side bubbles 8-| thats just me dont really care about the monkey lizard sticker >:-( either :-/
Aussietrooper Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 any chance anyone can get the pictures to the other augest sets like the droid gunship and the homing spider droid lego box's. I saw in the rebelscum's forum page a little about them.
Legoman Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 any chance anyone can get the pictures to the other augest sets like the droid gunship and the homing spider droid lego box's. I saw in the rebelscum's forum page a little about them. do you have a link please? i looked all over the Rebelscum forums ect but couldn't find it. thanks, legoman
Oky Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) We can do without you shouting the odds, i agree with you that based on these pics the RGS won't include the guns. However like others have said these are prelim pics and as such anything can change and most likely will. :-$ As I already mentioned in the post, I am really sorry! :'-( I guess, I was in a bad mood and got carried away! I didn't mean to hurt anyone! So Sorry! Not gonna happen again! See, I edited the post and and tried to reverse the tone of it as well as I could! Here is the edited post: :-) Without offending anybody, especially not you stealth hunter ;-) , I would like to say that any hopes of there being side anti-infantry turrets hidden somewhere in the RGS should be quite low as there is little space where they could be hidden. Even if there would, it is very unlike TLC to hide such significant parts of a model on a box art.Furthermore, most of you should be aware by now that this is a special modified RGS from the upcomming show, similar to the rancor mouthed ARC ship in the first series (which did not feature any side turrets either), that is supposed to transport the Jedi, so it would be unwise to expect more clones or alternative stickers or anything to come with it either. However, all this doesn't exclude the chance of the actual set to turn out differently from this preliminary picture, although I highly doubt this chance to be very high for these would be quite significant changes, and I have rarely observed such an act by TLC. NOTE: This is an edited post and I would like to strongly appologize to anybody offended by the earlier tone of this post! :-$ Happy? X-D Edited January 4, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi
xwingyoda Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Here's a screenshot of the bubble-less RGS from the trailer: Tks Sam for ending these pointless discussions about the lack of side bubbles X-D And really TLC did an amazing job with that set !! I was complaining about the front and rear gin to be too long but after seeing that I am taking back my comment ;-) *yoda*
Vader Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 any chance anyone can get the pictures to the other augest sets like the droid gunship and the homing spider droid lego box's. I saw in the rebelscum's forum page a little about them. Rebelscum does not have them from what i can tell. You have to learn alittle patience, Pics will come when they come and not before.
Lord Of Pies Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 I still like the new RGS but I would rather have more clones than jedi I have never heard of, personally! The lack of bubble-y cockpits does not bother me, I can always add them myself, and the odd sticker on the side can always not be applied.
CopMike Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Angry Mode On >:-): Ok, this will be my second post about this but I just have to repeat myself: STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT EVERYTHING :-|! It
jamie75 Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) YEAH, what Copmike said! He summed my opinion up perfectly!! Anymore complaining and I will give the Cop permission to use dead force. 8-| Everyone needs to keep in mind that: 1)these a prelim pics, the models, figs, stickers, boxes, everything can change between now and when they are released! 2)prices are not set in stone. These were taken from an Australian source. So US and EU price will be different. Mike, put the gun down, here's a cookie, calm down. Not yet! X-D Personally, I love the sets and will buy them all!! Maybe multiples of some!! And, I thank Lego for giving us what they have!! Jamie Edited January 4, 2008 by jamie75
Looking for a display name Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 2.??? no it's not.CW is a kids cartoon! if it's not in a Star Wars movie, it's EU.although the EU is now being more closely tied with the movies via CW, to me, it will never change the fact that most of the vechiles were never in the movies, therefore, making them EU.legoman sorry but what the frigg are you talking about >:-( star wars episode 2 ATTACK OF THE CLONES where yoda CLEARLY SAYS! "begun the clone wars have" so CLONE WARS IS NOT EU RGS ISN'T EU DROID GUNSHIPS AREN'T EU AT-TE'S AREN'T EU so do some frigin research before you open your mouth >:-(
Tanotrooper Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 X-O Say WHAT? WTF! Why? Since when? I love chrome! :'-( well, since chrome peels off and might end up in some kids throat... 8-| anyway, I love the fact they stopped chroming! *sweet* knowing that the paint will peel off isn't quite a nice thought... These sets look great, but the gunship... I don't know... I'd have to see the final pic... TT
Ras 74 Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 WOW!... There are some angry words out there. I just can say I do agree. I remember when the GG Starfighter pic first came out. Everybody saw that in half waaay before anyone really got it. Then when it finally reach our boards in a review... there was other sounds in the mountains... So before we get final pics, sees the set in reality don
Darkest Hope Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Copmike's points are brilliant!! Heres another one, some people out there say that these sets are being made according to what happened in the CW animated series and you don't like it, well perhaps they are because we have to remember one thing, most Lego is aimed at children, and children watch cartoons... You do the maths...
trooperdavinfelth Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 A closer look at the AT-TE: That's a good point! Why would TLC put three on the box, but name two? |-/ Aye yi yi yi yi! Come on, Lego! Do it right, or don't do it at all! Oh wait, those were preliminary. :-P I still can't believe TLC would slip up that high in a mere prelim pic. :-|
