2004/2005 Sets and discussion thread

[xwingyoda]

The Wing Guard (or Bespin Securrity Guard will look more or less exactly as the imperial dudes in the Shuttle Inspection set but in dark blue and not grey !!!!!!!). They look really cool !!!! I only wish they would have put two and not only one ;)

EDIT: I still think that the price of the Vwing (only 9.99) is NOT a good sign :'(

Really the Alpha 3 Nimbus (one of the 3 different ships categorized as V-Wing) is 9.7 meters long whereas the A-wing and Tie Interceptor (which are sets worth more than 15$) are both 9.6 meters long !!

Furthermore, The V-Wing should come with a pilot and astromech droid !!!!

So I am really dubious on that set !!!!!! I really hope the price is just a typo !!!!!

[Sarg_Kulo]

Ahh we finally get a generic flesh smiley. The sullustian looks great but does anyone else think that the B-wing pilot's torso and arms looks orange?

[xwingyoda]

I really think he is orange Sarg !!!!

The original Bwing pilot was orange and the helmets look really similar (if not identicall). Only the Awing pilot was green, and the T-16 pilot was red. All the other pilots were orange ;)

In the old B-Wing he was red.

[xwingyoda]

My bad Sarg, I thought it was orange ;)

Check here: http://brickset.com/search.aspx?Set=7180-1 It really looks orange here.

I double checked with Peeron and Bricklinck and they say red, so red it is ;)

Is that for the old or new B-Wing?

[xwingyoda]

The "primitive" Bwing Sarg ;)

[Sarg_Kulo]

The "primitive" Bwing Sarg ;)

??? *wacko*

Primative?

[xwingyoda]

Sarg, I meant the first version of the Bwing ;) I used the term "primitive" as ancient, old, original ;)

[Sarg_Kulo]

Well I odn't know any words that were created before last week ;)

Wel I hope the new B-Wing pilot is red, kinda suck if it's orange

[Sarg_Kulo]

What is this, dictionary?

[Legoman]

I think it might just be a book |-D it might tell you how to spell i thinks wee all needs halp from it :D

[sam89]

After a little search, I found out that the only picture of a V-Wing pilot is this Attacktix figure. This means that Lego could choose to do the figure like this, rather than the Clone Pilots that appear in the ARC-170.

[Legoman]

Well i have the arc-fighter and i think that the arc-pilots are alot like the one in the pic :oD but the ones in the arc-fighter look more like they are made of lego dont ya think. |-D

[Sarg_Kulo]

I hope they redo the pilots. Give them more accurate helmets and that

[xwingyoda]

I am not sure that we'll get a new clone pilot in the V-Wing set!!

Let me quote the SW database:

"As the Clone Wars spread and the nature of combat became more specialized, the pilot ranks also grew. Clone starfighter pilots operated the ARC-170 and V-wing fighters that engaged Separatist forces in the depths of space or the skies of scattered worlds. They wore specialized equipment that aided in the piloting of their advanced craft."

We can hope!!!!

[sam89]

Apparently, the V-Wing pilot might look like this:

[xwingyoda]

Tks Sam for the pic !!!! I think you are right !!! I'm pretty sure that the V-Wing pilot will be like the Arc pilot but in black !!!! (at least I hope !!!) Come on, all tie pilots are black !!!!!!! Me want a black pilot !!!!

[Sarg_Kulo]

Me want a black pilot !!!!

Me want a movie accurate pilot :P

[sam89]

But you don't know which one is movie accurate, since you never see it in the movie ;)

I think I'd like the black figure as well, the more clones the better :-D

[Sarg_Kulo]

A movie acurate ARC pilot then :D

DId Shocktroopers pilot one in the film???

That would be great to get a shocktrooper *satis*

Sam, do you have any idea whne we cana expect to see pics yet? Sorry to ound impatient but I'm just really excited ;)

[christopher110]

Both sets look great. I've decided to quit buying SW LEGO because of my tight budget (so that I can focus on castles and HP) but these two sets really appeal to me.

Luckily I didn't buy the Jedi Fighter when it was released together with other SWIII products. I guess i've to come up with some idea to earn extra money so that I'll have enough money when these two sets are released.

Btw, any idea for the price of these two sets?

[sam89]

The B-Wingh is $35, but there's no news on the Ultimate Space Battle yet.

As for pics, I don't know when we'll get them. I think the earliest would probably be September.

[Legoman]

SEPTEMBER!! i don't think i can wait that long that cant be good,well we'll have to just be patient lets hope we can. thanks Sam for the news
