Yoda can you do what I asked (like 1/2 pages back?) please

I don't get you query ?

I looked and trooperdavinfelth did it the post after :sceptic:

No, you see, he wanted the item descriptions to be put into the first page of this post. :wink: All I did was put them with the pics.

The reason was, I assume, that since the thread said 'Pics in first post' he'd want the descriptions to be there too. :sweet:

Thanks for the news goggleson. It's about freakin' time we had some!

I bold-ed the interesting parts.

-First of all, only 2 clone troopers in the AT-TE bad form TLG, it takes two just to put one in the cockpit and one in the big turret on top. :hmpf_bad:

-Secondly, 4 clone troopers in the RGS, very sweet, that probably means two Clone Pilots to go along with the regular Trooper and Commander Cody. :cry_happy:

-Thirdly, Asajj's lightsaber can be either a double blade or two single blades, all I can say is bravo TLG you've outdone yourselves. :thumbup: Now if only they made Maul's lightsaber that way.

-Last of all, if the Pilot minifigure has a fin I'm gonna be very very upset.

Hopin' for some CW BPs to supplement the lack of regular p.1 Clone Troopers ON!

In all the toyfair vids they have fins. :sceptic:

trooperdavinfelth · April 17, 2008

I reckon Tarfful's gonna blow his top! :look:

:tongue:

So, since they didn't mention Rex and Cody in the AT-TE and the RGS descriptions, that means the RGS might get some pilots! :oh: I'd love to get more pilots... But then again, I want to get more clones. Pilots, clones. Pilots, clones. PILOTS, clones. PILOTS, clones.

I think it's clear who won here. :tongue:

Guys, I know that in the preliminary pics, key word preliminary :grin: , the supposedly Clone Pilot in the V19 has a fin on his helmet.

Gee, I may be a noob, but I'm not stupid. :tongue:

What I meant in my previous statement was that I hope the final version of the Clone Pilot has no fin. :wink:

On another note I think that the descriptions don't include Rex and Cody because they are included in the Clone count. But then again I could be, and I hope I am, wrong and Rex and Cody will be added to the Clone count of 7676 and 7675 making it even higher, but that's probably just wishful thinking.

im very sorry to say tarfful, that i doubt tlg will make a new helmet mold for the pilot. they like to save money/time/energy. :tongue: :hmpf_bad: i realize that the real ep2 pilot does not have a fin, but it wouldnt matter much to me. just as long as they dont do an ep3 clone helmet mold! :angry:

trooperdavinfelth, i have to disagree with you here. i want more troopers, unless they make a BP. on the other hand, since its highly likely i wont get a v19, no pilots for me :cry_sad: :sadnew:

Why not, it's a very important detail it signifies the difference between a Clone Commander and a Clone Pilot, it's also not that big of a differnce just cut off the fin and presto you have a p.1 Clone Pilot helmet.

On another note, to me it's almost invitable that we will get a CW BP so for me it's Clone Pilots all the way!

hehe Bp's for me. I think this weekend I am going to take some inspiration from the Custom RGS thread and throw a couple teams together for my RGS's. That very reason is driving me insane waiting for the v19's though. Lucas was a genius when he devised the color scheme idea. Also... and this thought has recently occurred to me...(hey, I'm slow... and I like it) but I used to have a problem; I didn't like displaying my EpII phase 1's with my now growing army of phase II clones. But with all the variance between the different rank and file clone troopers, it's not as big a deal to me. But believe me, old fur-ball :wink: , I share your point on detail. So, Champaign wishes for CW Battle Pack dreams!

It won't happen because it costs TLC money, that's the bottom line for TLC. They give us aslot but minor differences like that are just not worth the price.

What preliminary pics? :sceptic: The preliminary pics were so blurry you could barely make out the yellow on his helmet! Just so you know the Toyfair is about as final as pics get. :wink:

Also, I know Cody and Rex are in the clone count; that's why I think one, maybe two clones in the gunship. :wink:

Well, it sort of has a smallish wideish fin but it's nothing like the minifig. :sadnew:

Well, at least one pilot in the larty will make my day; I'm tired of vehicles getting piloted by the white jobs! :sing:

The pilot barely resembles a Commander. :wacko: The yellow is significantly brighter than the 327th Star Corps and it has two telltale red GAR insignias on his helmet. :wink:

Why is it inevitable to you? I just want to hear an opinion. :wink: I feel TLC will stick to what sticks out in the movies. For example, a gunship with real noseart :wub: , a vehicle that falls down a steep cliff and makes a big crash, a vehicle that is seen swarming through space, and a vehicle that... Does... Thing. :look: The Magnaguard Starfighter just hasn't caught on yet... :tongue:

7680 and 7681 will come in the end of july to toysrus. And we will get a Set, that will be a big surprise for a lot of LEGO STAR WARS Fans. ;) This are the news for germany...

A clone pilot in the battlepack+hasbro saying we always need buildings=another crapship

Goggleson what I meant when I said/typed that a CW BP is inevitable and that Clone Pilots were ON was that since a CW BP is almost a garuntee I wanted the extra troopers in 7676 to be Clone Pilots, not that I wanted Clone Pilots in a CW BP. :wink: I mean who needs a an army of p.I Clone Pilots. :grin:

Thanks Palin. Your project sounds interesting, I hope to see pics soon. Oh, and BTW how many LAAT/i's do you have? :oh:

It won't happen because it costs TLC money, that's the bottom line for TLC. They give us alot but minor differences like that are just not worth the price.

How is it a minor difference? :wacko: Fin or no fin, you might aswell put it movie accurate or non-movie accurate, and in the past TLG has always stuck to movie accuracy. Sure I mean we've had random Jedi and Clones in sets that they didn't belong in but the details on all TLG's minifigs seem to be very loyal to the movies.

Reference pics so all can see the not so minor difference between a p.I Clone Commander and a p.I Pilot:

What preliminary pics? The preliminary pics were so blurry you could barely make out the yellow on his helmet! Just so you know the Toyfair is about as final as pics get.
Also, I know Cody and Rex are in the clone count; that's why I think one, maybe two clones in the gunship.

Also, Vader's right. Need I say any more?

-Then why did all the boxes in the backround of the Toy Fair pics say in big bold letters Preliminary?

-Yeah I figured that Cody and Rex would be in the Clone counts of 7676 and 7675, respectively. My prior statement was mostly an expression of my thoughts that we needed nore clones in the sets. :wink:

-How does comparing the Yellow on a p.I Pilot to the Yellow on a p.II Star Corps Trooper help your argument? :hmpf: Also this doesn't have anything to do with the current conversation it's just an observation, the GAR symbols on the CW pilot's hemet are Red but the Ep.2 Pilot's GAR symbols are Black, must have somethin' to do with the series. :look:

-CW BP's only seem to be a smart move on TLG's part next year, I mean they're easy to make, cheap, and some people buy hundreds of the current BP's, plus we're in desperate need of a new CIS BP with the Droids having the right arms and the vehicles being Blue, I mean p.II clones fighting TF forces? :wacko: One more thing, if the CW series is a big hit with the masses, witch it probably will be, it would only make more sense for TLG to turn out as much merchandise as possible about it. :wink:

-It's not the transportation that for my troops that bothers me it's the fact that the transportation is a crap ship. :tongue:

7680 and 7681 will come in the end of july to toysrus. And we will get a Set, that will be a big surprise for a lot of LEGO STAR WARS Fans. ;) This are the news for germany...

Wow! :oh: Where did you hear that Steff? I find it a little wierd that two sets we haven't even seen pics of yet are coming out before the ones we have seen pics of. :grin:

What is the big surprise I wonder? Is ther anymore information you can give us... please?

It IS a minor difference; it's JUST the fin. The paint is completely different on the helmet itself. :wink:

1. Then why did all the boxes in the backround of the Toy Fair pics say in big bold letters Preliminary?
2. Yeah I figured that Cody and Rex would be in the Clone counts of 7676 and 7675, respectively. My prior statement was mostly an expression of my thoughts that we needed nore clones in the sets.

4. CW BP's only seem to be a smart move on TLG's part next year, I mean they're easy to make, cheap, and some people buy hundreds of the current BP's, plus we're in desperate need of a new CIS BP with the Droids having the right arms and the vehicles being Blue, I mean p.II clones fighting TF forces? One more thing, if the CW series is a big hit with the masses, witch it probably will be, it would only make more sense for TLG to turn out as much merchandise as possible about it.

5. It's not the transportation that for my troops that bothers me it's the fact that the transportation is a crap ship.

1. Did you happen to notice that the boxes in the background did NOT show the figs? Neither did the V-19 show a silhouette on the box. :sweet:

2. Indeed, and I agree! :sweet:

3. It's significantly darker which says that the pilot is NOT a commander. Sure, it looks a little like the Phase 1 commander, but the pilot has paint only on the helmet. The Commander has very significant arm paint, four dots indicating rank, and a thinner but longer stripe on his helmet. :wink:

4. Yes; your analogy is quite currect in the marketability. But bear in mind that the Trade Federation(that's Nute Gunray's deal) makes their stuff in brown and tan, mostly. Brown MTTs, brown HAGs, brown troop carriers, brown vulture droids, brown droidekas, etc. Tan AATs, tan droids, etc. The CIS is a combination of all the independant systems brought together in the Geonosis Spire by Count Dooku. By Episode 3, they had really worked closely, combined technology, used other system's blueprints, etc. So that's why you see all the cruisers and ships with the CIS symbol and in a blueish color. :sweet:

5. Unfortunately, what you stated is not a fact; rather, an opinion. That's a fact. :wink:

Wow! Where did you hear that Steff? I find it a little wierd that two sets we haven't even seen pics of yet are coming out before the ones we have seen pics of.

Yeah; I can't wait to see them and hear more of this mysterious bonus surprise set! It seems TLC is doing quite a few of em'; the Castle Advent Calendar is invitably the bonus set mentioned in a press release; I hope this bonus SW set is NOT Clone Wars! :vader:

Maybe (just maybe)... the Pilots in Clone Wars are Phase 1.5? So the Pilots have fins in the movie/TV show?

I don't think there is such a Phase. :sweet:

There was never a Phase 1.5. :wink:

5. Unfortunately, what you stated is not a fact; rather, an opinion. That's a fact.

No, it's not a minor difference. No fin=not a pilot

Now for some counter points:

1- Yes, I did. :wink: Did you also notice that the RGS has two clones missing?

3- Isn't that a 212th Battalion trooper? If it isn't it sure looks Orange to me. :wacko:

Yeah, but if you were looking at a p.I Pilot and Commander from across the room what are you going to notice darker paint or a fin? But, your general point makes sense, I'm just saying that the fin part is more noticeable then a paint job.

4- Yeah I know that Nute and his Federation like Brown and Tan, I'm just saying that since the CIS's color theme is Blue and White and that the new stap in 7675 is Blue we need a new BP with blue-ish vehicles, plus the fact that the in the old BP the arms of the regular BD's are still the old versions that we desperatly need a new CIS BP. :sweet:

5- Well it's a pretty wide spread opinion! :tongue:

its a re-release ;)

I hope it's 7283 Ultimate Space Battle! :cry_happy:

Can you atleast tell us if it's OT or PT... please?

Anticapation for a super rerelease ON!

No fair! :tongue: I used to have one but that was6 years ago when I was 11 and I... too ashamed to say it... I got bored with it and broke it apart :oh3: , and now I have no idea where the pieces are :cry_sad:

At least I still have the p.I's, *sighs* I guess I really do deserve my title. :grin: But I do hope to get at least 4 of each of 7676 and 7675.

Natman8000 · April 18, 2008
