Plural Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Everything looks awesome except for Asajj's skirt. Looks a bit weird to me. I don't suppose anyone can tell me what this is though Obi Wan and Plo Koon Thing Anyway, I can't wait for these to hit shops.
The Kid Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Plural, it appears to be some sort of Mobile Command Center that slots into the monkey lizard sticker compartment. TK
trooperdavinfelth Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 What?!? You make it sound like if they don't show them now, you don't ever want to see them... *wacko* :-PTK It's been known for so long and we've seen four from the line already, so... OK, no excuse. I'm just impatient. :-P But patience is the key to the world... Well, not exactly. :-P

WookieeWarrior Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 The more I see these minifigs, the more I see how much LEGO missed the point on this line. The ships, though very overpriced IMO, are great looking. Change isn't always a good thing. Stick with what got you there if you've already figured it out. I can only imagine how good an official non-Anime version of Ahsoka, Asajj, and the rest would look.
Deinonychus Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 You know...looking at some of those odd price points makes me think Marketing just said to the Designers; "You know what guys, go nuts. Do whatever you have to and use as many elements as you need to build these things up to look cool and pack them full of Minifigs because you know what, Star Wars is our top theme and the way we seem to sell just about every set, we don't think a high price will scare too many people off...especially if we load up with Minifigs. So just make them look sweet!" If that is the case, I got no problems over here
Corvus Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 I love how they included an alternate sticker for the... uh... flying clone vehicle (sorry, I'm terrible with Star Wars names... X-D). Posing Twi'leks are much better than Kowakian monkey lizards! (Okay, make that Star Wars vehicle names. X-D)~Peace Yep. Take a look here, there's a monkey-lizard sticker on both sides. You know...looking at some of those odd price points makes me think Marketing just said to the Designers;"You know what guys, go nuts.

simonjedi Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Growing daily more impressed with the sets......wasnt't blown away at first but the more pictures I see the more I realise these are incredibly well designed sets with loads of gameplay elements, while i'd have loved for there to be the gun pods on the Gunship, I cant really think of any way they could have made the ship itself that much better basically this sums my opinions of the new sets ^ I don't think the sabertank and spider droid stuff isn't coming in this wave, we would have at least seen preliminaries (sp?) pics by now, remember the rumour about sassi tins starfighter?
hollisbrick Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 basically this sums my opinions of the new sets ^I don't think the sabertank and spider droid stuff isn't coming in this wave, we would have at least seen preliminaries (sp?) pics by now, remember the rumour about sassi tins starfighter? hmm i think your right, same with the other sets although you never know..
captaintau Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Hmm, I'm loving the sets more and more, but Obi-Wan looks a little... constipated? :-D :-X It's quite possible. I mean, Jedi sometimes spend weeks on missions where diplomacy and tact are essential. In the middle of negotiations (or indeed in middle of fighting off a few hundred Battle Droids), tehy can hardly declare "please excuse me, I need to dump!" :-D
sam89 Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 There's loads of fantastic photos in Ace's flickr stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/no_onions/ He got the first good pic of the Clone pilot:
Icesaber Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Now why couldn't they have included two of those in the gunship too?!
darkrebellion Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) The clone pilot and all the sets looks great *sweet* but I think lego need to show us the others sets. Edited February 18, 2008 by darkrebellion
Asuka Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Cool, thanks, sam! *y* I like how the sides of the AT-TE opens and the seat of the driver glides in.... And how the little hover platform fits into the Gunship. Overall I really love how all these new sets
lukeiamyourfather Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 hey wait a minute what happend to the mini jabba he is gone? the sets are nice though *vader*
sam89 Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 hey wait a minute what happend to the mini jabba he is gone?the sets are nice though *vader* They probably didn't have one ready for the show. I'm pretty sure he'll be in the final set. MagnaGuard fighter has a neat opening mechanism for sure.... I hadn't noticed that! It looks like you push those ball pieces on the bottom and the cockpit opens up.
Brainbox Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 What the?! :-D Anyway, thanks Sam. There's some nice pictures in there, and it's good to get a look at the V-19 wing mechanism. The AT-TE and RGS are looking nicer and nicer with every new pic, while the potential damage to my wallet is getting greater and greater. The RGS has a ridiculous number of storage area and moving panels, which is fantastic, as I really like moving panels and hidden areas. The AT-TE is pretty big, and also looks pretty sweet. Not too fussed on the Magna Guard fighter or the V-19, but that doesn't mean they're bad, it's just personal taste. And the figures, well, they're all just *wub*
The Kid Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Well, I just spoke with someone who went to Toy Fair and he basically said he'd got a load of pics of the agents line (which had 2 parts people were going to "go nuts over"), there was definitely some leaked stuff there, and all non-Star Warsy hi-res photos will be uploaded later today/tonight (depending on where you live). He also got videos of the moving parts in the RGS and AT-TE. He also said there will be no new Star Wars stuff other than what's already been shown. TK
Corvus Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Hmm, found the rubber missile launcher. Guess there must be two of 'em. Will
Led ZePPelin Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Yay! :-D I love those things, they're great fun with dogs. *y* *sweet*
barca_23 Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Hi everyone!!! This is my first post. Don't see if this info has been post yet 8-| . Today I went to a toy store and saw the catalog for Spain. It appears a Droid Gunship as the 7678. I'll try to get pics of it and the Fighter Tank TX 130S. Love LEGO!!! :-D

aayla-secura Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Thanks for confirming these sets, hopefully you'll be able to get pics! Yeah! Hopefully! But ive a bad feeling ... if you know what i mean , with some members saying ... ah and so on.. Or then the cam wont go , something else.. proofe that aayla is wrong :-D
JimBee Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 awesome new pics! plo koon looks a little better, same with asoka. the magnagaurds stilllook retarded. i think the ATTE looks really cool. i guess the only summer SW sets ill get are the RGS and the ATTE, and if its released for 2008, the TX figter tnk. ... on another note, i wish the RGS had the pilot, and im not about to spend $50 on the V-19 just to get it. guess i wont get the magna fighter, either |-/ .
