Klaus-Dieter Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) Thank you very much for your detailed comments, xwingyoda! 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 160-200 Euros ?! That would be very much money ! I hope that the DS will be something similar to that but of course with an "outside" to open and close. Hoperfully it then would be a really good designed set with nice details and with one or two DS Trooper(s) and a new Imperial Lieutnant/Commander/...! And hopefully TLG will include something like the conference room of Grand Moff Tarkin, too! Edited April 24, 2008 by Klaus-Dieter

Hoperfully it then would be a really good designed set with nice details and with one or two DS Trooper(s) and a new Imperial Lieutnant/Commander/...! What other playsets we have to compare with ? Nothing except Cloud City (10123) If I remember it was 150€ for the time which was a lot !! And it had 4 new figs. 1 really new with Lando, a printed Boba and new outfits for Leia (+ hair) & Luke. Now what is safe to assume: we will have the classic figs such as R2, 3PO, Vader, Luke, Leia & Han (we sure hope for new outfits and whatever). That makes 6 figs already !! So what new figs can they add apart the DS trooper and another high ranking officer like you stated. And a set without stormies would be weird. So what should the MF count be then ? Around 10+ to be faithfull to the movie. And I doubt that can happen unless they up the price !! And that can easilly happen. Take the Sandcrawler for instance: 170€ and 11 figs

On the one hand I must disagree: I really doubt that TLG will include R2-D2 and C-3PO in the DS because they don't play that big role in this scene. On the other hand I agree with you: We surely will get Leia, Han and Luke (hopefully both in Stormtrooper outfits because that would make more sence than in there "normal" outfits). With Vader I'm not sure - but maybe. Some time ago there was this minifig constellation on wookiepedia but it disappeared. Somebody there wrote that the 10188 DS will include Leia, Han, Luke, Vader, Obi-Wan, two Stormtroopers and two Imperial Officers. If you ask me there surely will be included Leia, Han, Luke, Grand Moff Tarkin and two Stormies. With the other minifigs I'm not sure but I hope that TLG will show the same engagement with including many new minifig characters in the DS like they included in the CW sets !

How dare you !! Sure they don't have a big role (more on that later on) but it would be a great opportunity to have a new R2 head (pearl or silver !!) + the new pearl gold 3PO On the other hand I agree with you: We surely will get Leia, Han and Luke (hopefully both in Stormtrooper outfits because that would make more sence than in there "normal" outfits). With Vader I'm not sure - but maybe. We will have a Vdaer, no question about that. Would be great to have one like Vader's custom If you ask me there surely will be included Leia, Han, Luke, Grand Moff Tarkin and two Stormies. With the other minifigs I'm not sure but I hope that TLG will show the same engagement with including many new minifig characters in the DS like they included in the CW sets ! Can do but that would include no new figs and that is just unacceptable !! I do agree that the CW opened the way for fantastic new figs so there is hope there !! OK so what are the iconic scenes in the DS ? * Leia's rescue: rebel Leia, black imperial officer, probe droid and stormies * trash compactor scene: rebel Leia, Han & Luke in stormie disguise * Control room: 2 droids stop the trash compactor * runing to the falcon scene: grapple On !! * Obie vs Vader duel
Ras 74 Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 We will have a Vdaer, no question about that. Would be great to have one like Vader's custom How could I have missed , moc?? Did you only post this in the "Custom thread"? Why not in the SW forum? That was dumb of you Glad I finally saw it. Expect me to harass you on msn about it Really a beautiful work, and a nice custom!! -Ras-

Expect me to harass you on msn about it Really a beautiful work, and a nice custom!! -Ras- Well as a custom i thought it was the best place to go Anytime you want to chat mate feel free, i'm always around for a chat Oh and here's another pic of the custom for anyone else who missed it:
mutley777 Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I loved that fig first time i saw it and it has not lost any of it's appeal. I am sure the cloud city was only £70 in the UK. Are you sure it was €150!
xwingyoda Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I am sure the cloud city was only £70 in the UK. Are you sure it was €150! I am not sure but I remember that it was my first very expensive set (around the same time as the Falcon V2) and the Falcon was 150 !! Maybe CC was 140 but I'm sure it was more than 70£ Anyone remember the correct price ??
commandosevy Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 I think it was $80 for the CC I dont know how much it is in other currenicies besides American $.
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Hey, new keychains. Landspeeder: Slave 1: Anakin's Jedi Starfighter (Epi. III):
Legoman Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 oh nice.thanks, they look good. where did you find them?
mutley777 Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Not as good as the bag charms but the last one is interesting. Lego can print parts for key chains but not real star wars sets.
commandosevy Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Good mini keychain pics! I'm glad you found them.
CopMike Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Not as good as the bag charms but the last one is interesting. Lego can print parts for key chains but not real star wars sets. Amen to that brother!Always nice though with new stuff ! Need more keys for all the chains On copmike
simonjedi Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 I don't really like them tbh the landspeeder looks ok, the bottom bit of slave one looks too long and its in the wrong colour, and the jedi starfighter is ugly Lego can print parts for key chains but not real star wars sets. I know but keychains are really small and printing won't be that expensive, and besides imagine how many people would moan that they were stickers on a 3 or 4 quid keychain
darkrebellion Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 I really this keychains and to me are a must but my favorite is the anakin starfighter it is just a good developed one and I like the printed tiles.
sam89 Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Hey, new keychains.Landspeeder: Slave 1: Anakin's Jedi Starfighter (Epi. III): Thanks for the pics. They look pretty good, although none are as good as the Falcon last year.
JimBee Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 the sandspeeder is good (forgot its real name ) but the other two are bleh
mutley777 Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 I know but keychains are really small and printing won't be that expensive, and besides imagine how many people would moan that they were stickers on a 3 or 4 quid keychain That's my point! If lego can do 2 unique printed elements for a £3-4 key chain, then what excuse could there be for not doing it in a £40 set!! (I am thinking the hoth base set)
xwingyoda Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Yeay finally news !! Are we sure they are keychains and not bag charms ?? I hope its bag charm because I love its packaging I really love the landspeeder and the Slave 1 looks decent. On the other hand the JSF looks like real crap IMO, and like commented above, printed parts for that is really a lost of time and money !! I will still need to get those for the collection
Erdbeereis Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I like the Landspeeder quite well but the other 2 I am not so pleased with. Anakin's ship is far too boxy for my taste and the Slave 1 is decent but the back is a bit long. The colors for the Slave 1 are also a little strange. The Landspeeder on the other hand I think is pretty good. Far from perfect but it is definitely the best of the 3 in my opinion. I don't think I will buy any. Thanks for the pics though! I always like seeing new things!
trooperdavinfelth Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Ahh, more pics! Great finds! The landspeeder is the first time we've seen anything that has to do with the original speeder, the Slave 1 has, as erdbeereis1 stated, a long end and strange colors(black+tan+grey= ), and Anakin's JSF looks... Halfway decent! Since these are keychains(they are glued, no?), I might get the Slave 1, remove it from the chain, remove the chain hook, build me and glue me up a REAL Slave 1, then attach the chain and attach it. I'd be embarassed to be found walking around with something like that; the lack of green is just... Wrong.
yellost Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Aw, all those make me wish they'd continue the mini line. They were great, I love them all (ok, maybe no the AT AT) and they weren't glued... As for the keychains, only the Landspeeder has some appeal to me.... the slave 1 feels a bit cramped, with its stabiliser fins (or whatever they are) so close to the body... And by the look of it, they can't turn...
part 2 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Hey, new keychains.Landspeeder: Slave 1: Anakin's Jedi Starfighter (Epi. III): think we just found our re designs i mean look at the past ship key chains we had the falcon vaders tie and the y wing 2 out of 3 where re-made its just down to the subject of elimination Well the last news.Here are the two most founded rumours : - A tie army builder pack - A Deathstar playset Since both are good possibilities, I hope Lego to release both sets :P sorry to double post but we have been expecting a death star play set since 2004 "people are saying that 10131 is a Death Star playset with 4 rooms. 1 has Vaders tie and Vader, 1 a trash compactor with Luke and Han as Stormtroopers, the 3rd as the control room with C-3PO and R2D2, the final 1 has 2 stormtroopers and Obe-Wan in the fight scene (Vader is in his tie.)"Info from brickset.com. This is nothing official but that would make sense :) Such a set would cost around 150.... So we have to get 300 euros for august only for LEGO Star Wars !!! Damn :) if you go to the very last page in the Within the Death Star: The Tie Army Forum you will se a couple of subjects about a mysterious death star play set we have been expecting since 04
