That's a shame. They could have at least given us a light grey cockpit :'(

O well, at least it's dark red (phew)

[OOM-30]

I got this from Rebelscum:

"Ultimate Space Battle - $60, V-wing fighter - $30, TIE Interceptor - $20, A-wing fighter - $20, B-wing fighter - $40 and Boba Fett's Slave I - $40. Be aware that these prices are not officially confirmed yet."

[Ras 74]

Holy Megablocks!!

I REALLY like the new B-wing.

I must say this one is almost perfect.

Well Yoda I agree to some point of your list of mods.

I must add to make something about the cockpit.

I can

[browniedjhs]

i think the V-Wing's price is a little odd, i mean you have to figure the ship isnt much bigger then the original JSF thats what im thinking, but maybe it comes with something extra, because it really isnt that big of a ship

and Boba's Slave 1 is odd price considering it is $10 less then his dad's lol- so im not sure what to expect here

[Sarg_Kulo]

Didn't that guy (sorry forgot his name) say that the V-Wing was the smallest ship? I doubt it would be that price. I dunno though :/

Can't wait to see pics of it *satis*

[Ras 74]

Maybe like br()wnie says, that it

[xwingyoda]

Ras,

Do you have the original Bwing ????

I sincerely doubt you can get rid of the Tehnics parts due to the fact that the cokpit moves according to the position of the ship ;)

However, you could do what I have done with the Wookiee Catamaran: use 1X4 grey tiles to hide the holes of the Technic parts !!! Really works well ;)

Sarg,

The smallest ship is the Awing and not the Vwing ;) The Awing is really short, and the Vwing hase a long profiled nose with huge inclinable wings.

[Legoman]

I'm very happy about all this news, but not about the V-wing i think it is a waste of time becouse it is expanded universe i hate that stuff it seems so fake to me.Why can't they just stick to the real star wars stuff, becouse i dont remember seeing the V-wing in any of the star wars movies if anyone else has seen it please tell me becouse i havent seen it .and if lego starts making more expanded universe stuff i might stop collecting star wars lego *devil*

[jonfett]

legoman: The V-wing was in Episode III, it only featured shortly but it was definately there!

I can't find any info on SW.com, but here's a great model from Brickshelf-

[mutley777]

bloody hell! :-D i am having enough trouble getting the spare cash for this years set and now they bring out a load more great sets!

[xwingyoda]

Jon, how weird !!!! The Vwing is not on the SW database *wacko* We see the ship twice !!!!!!

A small reminder legoman: you see 2 Vwings escorting the Imperial shuttle, you have a better view when one is landing, both wings turn.

Btw legoman, welcome to our friendly boards ;)

[Legoman]

Thanks guys that helps alot might get it then i can't wait for pic's.

[Ras 74]

Yoda, not remove.

I just mean get shorter ones. Yes I have the old one.

[Sarg_Kulo]

Does anyone else think that the V-Wing is gonna suck. I love the actual ship but I just can't see lego making a good version of it :/

[xwingyoda]

But the thing you said about the tiles sounds interesting.

Got a picture?

Ras,

I'll post pics tonight ;)

Sarg,

Viewing TLC's recent SW sets, I'm confident its going to be a great ship !!!!!!!!

[erao]

This B-Wing is much better than original. The pilot looks like a Calamari, maybe he is Admiral Ackbar, the designer of B-wing. :)

[xwingyoda]

I only wish !!!!!!!

The fig looks weird but I really doubt its Ackbar unfortunatly !!!!!!!

[Sarg_Kulo]

If it is Ackbar I'd be very upset they did such a, ahem, crap job.

I'd be much happier if it is a sullustian. Maybe we will get new legs that are small but can bend *wub*

[AgentA]

Awsome! The new BWing looks great! I'd get it if my parents would let me. *devil*

Ultimate Space Battle is definetly on my list of sets to get. I heard it was going to be 50 dollars? At that price it's a steal! If you could buy all those spereate it'd be at least 60 dollars. Plus I know someone who works at Target and can get it 10% off (since they work there) for me. Sad though for all the fans without Target's nearby. :/

[Legoman]

i hope i can get the ultimaite space battle over here in New Zealand :'( , becouse we don't have a target over here but hopefully it will be in some good toyshops for me but if they don't i'll just go to ebay. *satis* *wub*

[Mr. Lego-builder]

Even though it is a Target exclusive, there is a chance that not all stores will stock it... :|

[xwingyoda]

But the thing you said about the tiles sounds interesting.

Got a picture?

Here it is Ras (sorry, bad pics !!! bad light !!!!)

Here is with the "hiding" tile

[xwingyoda]

And here its just to show how the tile fits !!!

Anywat, you see the point ;) I'm sure this will work perfectly on the Bwing !!!!!

Hope this helped.

[Ras 74]

It works Yoda!

I think we will not be let down on any ship.

I think since the new relese of all ships, they turned better.

Better in my opinon anyway. I think TLC is doing a awesome job for the fans

now, and the last two years.

Even if many does think it

[Legoman]

does anyone know if the new b-wing has a control center or anything other than the ship and the minifig ,and its good that its grey not white i hate those white ships they dont look as good but i love the grey ones there great. *wub*
