Corvus Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 As exciting as it is to ponder what new set may or may not be re-released! there is no real concrete source behind this info just at the mo (sheesh, am i a humbug or what?)I think i will wait for some sort of picture proof or official release.... Dreaming on! You think this is bad? You should find last year's speculation on the RGS. For a re-release I'd really like to see the AAT.
Hewman Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) What about a new bigger cantina, drop the stormie and the speeder and you could get a much bigger building. Also those that thought it might be the ISD (I assume you mean minifig scale) I really don't think it will be that as it is still available on Shop at Home in several countries including Australia.

For a re-release I'd really like to see the AAT. yer i could see how everyone would be agonising over such a cool re-release of a favourite HTF set like RGS. Just one snippet of info for a lot of months would be quite hard to take. Sounds like the long drawn out process im experiencing over what 10188 death star is going to be (and how much of course)
Flatfoot Thompsen Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Sweet! I'm realy going to like that Republic Gunship!
mutley777 Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Well thank god it's not TIE's! We have had more than enough of them . If it is a new Hoth base then i hope it is bigger like the imperial inspection was for the shuttle. But i would really love a bigger cantina !!
Vader Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Well thank god it's not TIE's! We have had more than enough of them . If it is a new Hoth base then i hope it is bigger like the imperial inspection was for the shuttle. But i would really love a bigger cantina !! You can never have enough Tie's mate though i would prefer something new. A cantina would be great but i'm not sure lego would build a good one.
hollisbrick Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Hmmm well a ATT would be good but a jabba's palace if done right could be fantastic!!I have long wanted a bigger and much better one than the first, that was such a let down. Yea that would be great! Another Jabba's palace would be good if done right, the last one was alright not as god as I hoped..but the extensions idea was great, a cheap way to get Boba and I missed out
xwingyoda Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Well thank god it's not TIE's! We have had more than enough of them . Gaaasp, I can't stand those anti Tie comments I call blasphemy on you there If it is a new Hoth base then i hope it is bigger like the imperial inspection was for the shuttle. But i would really love a bigger cantina !! I doubt we'll have another Hoth base that early !! And what new figs would we have apart taun tauns A cantina is a good choice !! I love the cantina band members !! And a better Jabba's palace would be sweet and a great tie (pond intended hehe) with the CW We would indeed have the Max rebo band Those 2 sets would be a great opportunity to have cool aliens MFs !! That new OT set is really something I'm looking for with great impatience
mutley777 Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 A cantina would be great but i'm not sure lego would build a good one. Ah but just imagine a cantina with the detail and price piont of the new green grocer set!!! How good could that be! I doubt we'll have another Hoth base that early !! And what new figs would we have apart taun tauns Well that other star wars lego site is running a poll at the moment on the fron page for the biggest oversite that lego have made. The Tauntaun is winning by a long way! So maybe just maybe.

So maybe just maybe. I hope your right mate, it would be great to have a proper version with many new figs. I just think our ideas for playsets are way to big compared to what lego make I would love a Taun Taun set, those that have been around awhile will know how long i have screamed for such a set. Would be great to finally have one and a wampa too would be fantastic.
Nikola Bathory Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 A proper Hoth Base set - I would buy it! LEGO Star Wars needs more bases and buildings, enough ships and speeders!
Vader Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I very much doubt we will have another Hoth base, add on packs perhaps but not another one. If we do get another then it won't be for a long time i would guess. Still add on's would be easy to do for lego and i think they would be really well recieved by us fans.
xwingyoda Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 A proper Hoth Base set - I would buy it! LEGO Star Wars needs more bases and buildings, enough ships and speeders! I agree with you but TLC needs to include vehicles for playability That is totally retarded IMO but Lego is a kids toy so I guess TLC's marketing management decreted kids must have vehicles in ordr to have fun... I am convinced that one day we will have tauntauns because its really a huge AFOL demand like the EpIV rebels and we had those this year. The only question is how ? Another Hoth base I doubt really since last one is just a couple of months old. The perfect idea would be to include a taun taun in a Hoth rebel BP: 2 or 3 rebels, a tauntaun and something else like a gun turret or base troop transport vehicle like Mutley did for the Impulse set competition. Now to come back on the original post stating the OT re-release. There are not tht many options and I even consider a Slave 1 V3 After all its one of the most iconic ship and character
Legoman Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 well no x-wing or ties, i'm happy its so open it could sill be anything.well here is everything summed up it is a re-release it is from the OT it is not an x-wing it is not a tie i'm already happy whos not? Its OT Yay!!!
I Scream Clone Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I would snap anything from Hoth up in a snap! I mean they went to the trouble of making new molds for snowtroopers and rebels so they should get back to making ep5 BP, taun tauns, wampa (they have trolls right?). And if they wont make snowtroopers out of those helmets they can always make galactic marines!
Shacala Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I am convinced that one day we will have tauntauns because its really a huge AFOL demand like the EpIV rebels and we had those this year.

I smell a bp Jan '09 re-release OT ship Non-Tie Non X-wing There is a lot of possiabilities here. We just recieved a Y-wing/Snowspeeder so thats most likely out. I don't think they would release another MF since it might compete with the UCS version. AT-AT is out also. From what we can devise from the Clone Wars plot it would make since if they rereleased Jabba's Palace. Any hints on if it would be a UCS, or a minifig scale ship or scene?

If lego listens then well get it and I hate the anti-X-wing/tie comments... those should be less negitive! And steff was the first one to say its a rerelease.... so he should talk or give hints atleast he should tell us his source if its true or false. or ??
xwingyoda Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Guys one thing here: people won't reveal their source if they haven't in the first post and Steff is no newbie so please stop asking those questions Here are some facts: Here is the list of sets that has been redesigned twice: * awing (2000 & 2006) * ATAT (2003, 2007) * ATST (2001, 2007) * B-wing (2000, 2006) * Skiff (2000 alone, 2006 in sailbarge) * Endor speeder bikes (1999 and 2002) * snowspeeder (1999, 2003 and 2007) * Imperial shuttle (2001, 2005) * Landspeeder (1999 alone, 2003 in Cantina) * Falcon (2000, 2003) * Slave1 (2000, 2006) * Tie (2001, 2004 and 2005) * Tie X-1 (1999, 2004) * Ywing (1999, 2007) * Xwing (1999, 2003 and 2006) Here is the list of the sets that were never redesigned: * Droid escape pod (2001) * ILC (2007) * ISD (2006) * Cantina (2003) * Jabba's palace (2003) * Sailbarge (2006) * T-16 (2003) * Tie bomber (2003) * sandcrawler (2005) * Tie interceptor (2006) * TieD (2004) * Twin pod cloud (2002) * Cloud city (2003) OK thats about it I made in bold the real possibilities !! Guess On !!
I Scream Clone Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 More guessing continues.....Since they are making a Death Star playset, will they trot out the old cloud city for a rerelease? or update?
Vader Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 More guessing continues.....Since they are making a Death Star playset, will they trot out the old cloud city for a rerelease? or update? God i hope not, that set was good but i wouldn't want to see it released again. I want other sets remade first before that one. That's some list me thinks you have alot of time on your hands , but thanks for it as it really helps to see what we have had over the years.
captaintau Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Here is the list of sets that has been redesigned twice: Corrections (in red): * awing (2000 & 2006) - only redesigned once * ATAT (2003, 2007) - only redesigned once, unless you count the mini * ATST (2001, 2007) - only redesigned once, unless you count the mini * B-wing (2000, 2006) - only redesigned once * Skiff (2000 alone, 2006 in sailbarge) - only redesigned once * Endor speeder bikes (1999 and 2002) - I'm confused over these since they've also appeared in a PT set. I forget which version came first. Still, there's only really two versions, so just one redesign * snowspeeder (1999, 2003 and 2007) * Imperial shuttle (2001, 2005) - only redesigned once, and that was more a repackage than a redesign. Unless you count the mini * Landspeeder (1999 alone, 2003 in Cantina) - only redesigned once * Falcon (2000, 2003) - only redesigned once unless you count the UCS and the mini * Slave1 (2000, 2006) * Tie (2001, 2004 and 2005) * Tie X-1 (1999, 2004) - I don't recall a redesign, unless you count UCS and mini * Ywing (1999, 2007) - only redesigned once, unless you count UCS and mini * Xwing (1999, 2003 and 2006) - again, the second redesign was more of a repackage, unless you count UCS and mini
Tarfful Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) One more correction to add to that fine list of corrections captaintau, since we're talking about OT only (because the new set rerelease/redesign is going to be OT) the Slave 1 was only redone once. On another note, I personally would want a minifig-scale UCS Boba's Slave 1 , with printed arms and legs Boba of course. That way anyone who got 10179 would have something to have an epic space battle with the gigantic MF. -Tarfful EDIT: Sorry Vader and trooperdavinfelth for the attitude. No illwill was meant by the use of the Wacko emoticon, it won't happen again. Edited April 23, 2008 by Tarfful

And the TIE X-1 in the 10131 TIE Collection is not the same as the original one with the Y-Wing (though I may be wrong, as I don't own the set; but I remember seeing in the instruction that the cockpit window opens in the same manner as the next generation of TIEs instead of only being an openable rooftop).

Klaus-Dieter Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) Thank you for the summary of all the OT re-desgins, ! After having thought about it for another time I came to following result: -I think that this re-designed set will be not cheaper than 60 € and not costlier than 105 € - the prices of last year's Hoth Base and RC. -A Millenium Falcon is very unlikely since there was the UCS version last year and a possible re-release of a minifig-scaled MF would be 150 € - and I don't think that TLG will release a set with this price since we'll already get the 10188 DS which surely will cost 150 € (and hopefully not more - but might be possible, too!). -I think it'll be some sort of ground base with a vehicle. I can't prove it - but I feel as if the "classic" vehicles such as Imperial Shuttle, X-Wing, ... will be re-released in the next years - but not yet this year. -like I think that there will be some or at least one Endor set(s) in 2009 - but I don't think earlier. -BPs or little sets like the Droid Escape are too unspectacular and not expensive enough to be a S@H Exclusive. => Result: As many of you already said a Jabba's Palace (about 100 €) or a Mos Eisley Cantina (about 60 € or 100 € - it' would depend on which would be included) are the most likely re-desgins - perhaps Jabba's Palace is more likely. By the way: 1. Perhaps Steff can tell us what it is in order that we won't have to specualte until summer ? 2. Does anybody know/Can anybody imagine how much the 10188 DS will cost? Do you think it'll be more than 150 € (the regular price for the last years' Exclusives like the AT-ST and the Imperial SD)? Edited April 23, 2008 by Klaus-Dieter

I think you are correct !! A cheap exclusive will not make any sense And since there is already the RGS in the expensive set, I bet its the correct price range. -A Millenium Falcon is very unlikely since there was the UCS version last year and a possible re-release of a minifig-scaled MF would be 150 € - and I don't think that TLG will release a set with this price since we'll already get the 10188 DS which surely will cost 150 € (and hopefully not more - but might be possible, too!). 2. Does anybody know/Can anybody imagine how much the 10188 DS will cost? Do you think it'll be more than 150 € (the regular price for the last years' Exclusives like the AT-ST and the Imperial SD)? I really think we will have a Falcon redesign one day !! It will be a ROTJ version with Lando and will be bigger hehe. I would imagine around 200€ which would rock big time !! Am I daydreaming here ? Only time will tell And regarding that DS I think it will be more than 150€ The AT-AT was 140 and if TLC wants to make bigger sets, I would imagine the price to be set between 160-200. They can go that high sonce it will be a real exclusive set -like I think that there will be some or at least one Endor set(s) in 2009 - but I don't think earlier. I really think we'll have Endor BPs next january BUT I am far from disgarding the posibility of having an august/september exclusive set like the Hoth Base but with the Endor Bunker
