Piranha

[Vader]

Yea they are on the front page.

Or here

So some of these sets will no doubt change before release, i expect the rebel driver to have the same coloured arms as the rest of them upon release.

I just hope that the shadow trooper dosen't get replaced by a tie pilot, that would really suck.

INTERESTING FACTS & QUESTIONS

I think that all of these sets are awesome and thank you very much, Vader, for those pics. But before I get into deeper emotions, let's get some things straight:

1. That dropping thing under the AT-AP is no mysterious weapon, it's its third leg (Unless you use it to kick or flatten enemies :-D ). If you don't believe it, check out the real thing here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/AT-AP

2. Except for the minifigs & weapons, the Dropship sucks megablocks! :-P

3. The Minifigs in Rogue Shadow are not as expected? True, but COME ON, people: A BATTLE DAMAGED VADER!!! Isn't that the coolest thing? I mean how long have we hoped that TLC would bring out something battle damaged? :'-)

However, I think LEGO did a very good job on these sets and I can't wait 'til 2008!

I still have some questions, though:

1. The wheels of the Hailfire Droid seem to be made out of chains (the old kind). Does anybody have an idea what makes them stand in this ring shape?

2. How does the Clone Wars - Anakin look like, and what other sets beside Ani's Fighter and the V19 Torrent Starfighter will come out? Which minifigs can we ezpect?

3. Did anybody else notice that an interrestng new lego-piece is going to be released in 2008? It's that yellow round piece built into the front of Anakin's Fighter that is covered by 1x6 tiles. It's a plate version of the 4x4 Round Brick. You can also see it on top of the Rebel Scout Speeder, in front of the drum troll in 7048 Trolls' Attackship, as the table top of 5614 The Good Magician, and as part of the cement mixer in 5610 Building Worker. I think it's about time that something like that comes out (it clompletes the family of round bricks\plates) and am looking forward to them. I can't tell, though, if it has has one of those X-holes that round bricks\plates tend to have. Would be useful. Can anybody tell?

4.Why do "Spider Droids" look like mosquitos? Why do all Seperatist vehicles look like bugs anyway?! ;-)

5. WHAT DOES THE GENERAL GRIEVOUS MODEL LOOK LIKE AND WHEN DOES IT COME OUT??? I don't care about the price 'cause Grievous rocks and I'm gonna get the set anyway!

So, If you found this interesting and\or know the answer to one of my questions, write me! ;-)

X-D Peace Out!

X-D Peace Out!

Welome to EB Kenobi, first your questions:

1, Yep most people agree on that one.

2, I don't think the dropship is to bad, it's not great that's true but it could be a lot worse.

3, Oh this i can't agree with you enough, that fig is just plain awesome!!!!

As for your comments:

1, No idea as i've not really thought of this before, but i'm sure someone has an answer for you.

2, Rumour has it that his face will be more cartoony, but that's yet to be proven so we're unsure at this time.

3, Yep a few people have also noticed that piece.

4, I believe it's because the Seperatist built them to resemble themselves and the bugs on there planet.

5, No idea yet, when we have pics they will appear on the front page so keep an eye out.

the hailfire droid wheels seem to be made of a trans-clear 10x10 radar dish with chains around them.

BINGO, we have a winner !!

Great eye Tijn ;-)

If you look closely on the attchment of the left (on the pic) "wheel", you see its bvadly attached and you see that there are 4 studs there !!And the shape is clearly one of a disc ;-)

Well done, you have solved the Hailfire question hehe !!

I was thinking of something way more complicated loool

*yoda*

[sam89]

I can't believe none of us noticed that! :-D

Great spot, Tijn!

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

Oh, I hope we get a Ki-Adi-Mundi (or whatever his name is) and Shaak-Ti figure from the clone wars sets!

I want them too. I hoped for the 3 movie thwy would made lots of jedi, the only new were Luminara and Mace. And I don't have one of them. When I read about Kitt Fisto, I surely knew I want the Jedi Hyperspace Fighter. Without Kitt I wanted them also. I hope we will get more sets with Luminara and Mace and other Jedis who are still not made. Maybe a set with Yoda, After all, we're already sure there will be an Anakin and an Obi-wan figure in it. |-/ :-P ;-) (and I want a new Padme too)

[Omega 8]

Because we already have 3 types.

So? It would CLEARLY sell. The Lego JSF 2.0 is a GREAT design, it is asthetically pleasing and has nice playability....

Great to see that someone is positive on that set ;-)

I wouldn't go that far, but I really think its a great looking ship and like the SI, the first pic of it doesn't do him any justice ;-)

Too much hyperbole?

Purely because the Sith Starfighter is Darth Vader's ship and not Anie's ;-)

You have to remember that the Clone Wars series are situated between Ep2 and Ep3 ;-)

I am positive like Vader stated that we'll see that great SSF 8-

[Vader]

I think it's safe to say that most of us SW fans here want more jedi, the ones that we have are great but come on lego we want more.

[jamie75]

OK, on the front page there is a pic of the new Troll thing. We have had all kinds of new mold for the different themes they have picked up, but, no Wapma, Tauntaun.

Come on Lego. Please!!

That is my 08' rant, sorry. We need more beasts in the Star Wars theme.

Sorry, but seeing the new Troll set me off!!

I would rather see a brickbuilt rancor as the size of it would make it like the dino attack dinosaurs if it were just a couple of molded parts! :-X

You should have a contest, best starwars brickbuilt creature MOC! ;-)

I would also like to get a Rancor to terrorize some of my Vikings! *skull*

TTFN! >:-)

No worries, your not the only one waiting for some damn taun tauns and wampas!!!! If they did a rancor also that would be fantastic!!

[Scouty]

I'm almost afraid to see what they will do to the Taun Taun and the Wampa 8-|

Good point! I'd hate to see them produce somethng akin to, dare I say it, Megablocks! :-X x 54 +2 :-X

TTFN! >:-)

[Vader]

Well we have seen in the last SW lego game what they might look like, so i don't think there's reason to panic at all.

[babyjawa]

I'm quite happy with the battlepacks. I mean, the vehicles aren't great... but they are gonna be a great way to get Stormtroopers and Rebel Fleet Troopers (Finally). Other than those, I don't really feel like getting any of the others.

[sam89]

On this site I found final 2008 pics. They're small, but you can see the differences:

Stickers, plus a few other minor alterations.

Looks exactly the same.

Same here.

Brown wheels, different Spider-droid, yellow battle droid

Looks a lot better from this angle. Juno Eclipse has got blonde hair instead of a black hat.

[aayla-secura]

WoW , many TKS to sam , is there already a pic of the AT-AP?

[sam89]

I couldn't find one, no.

[Batbrick]

Does anyone know how much these sets will cost, especially in australian dollars?

I apoligise if this has been answered before, I don't have the patience to look through fifteen pages :-$

I want to know this because I am interested in the two Battle Packs, Hailfire Droid, and Rogue Shadow.

I want to get the Hailfire droid for the cool spider droid, two clear disks and treads, and Rogue Shadow for the figs and peices.

The AT-PT doesn't interest me, despite being the best built model, as I don't buy much PT sets, especially expensive ones.

TTFN! >:-)

[Bionic-Sun]

Brown wheels, different Spider-droid, yellow battle droid

Now, I haven't seen Episode II but I have seen pictures and Expanded Universe stuff on it and as far as I can tell, that Spider-Droid is horrendously underscale. But it still looks good! ;-)
