If it was real and i was lucas i would say it was fake anyway so i do belive it to be real.

Ah, I see.... the 10131 trick..... :P

[iangreig]

My belief is that the concept art at the top is real, but the main figure is a mock-up done in Photoshop by the UK newspaper that published the images.

Ian.

[ApophisV]

yes, thats the same I'd say....

[Vader]

If it was done for our newspapers they sure got it pretty close to perfection.

[iangreig]

Sorry, I meant to say movie licenses. That's why I only listed the movie licenses. ;)

Collin, you were right the first time ...

Unless F1 is all make-believe ...

Ian.

[Vader]

Man i hope hes got a big shelf for that cup :-D

[Cello Collin]

[ApophisV]

Once again I saw a picture of Jipay's desk with this thing on it.... I first thought he bought some Belville set.... ;)

[Orlego]

... because the Ferrari theme has yet to use skin-tone characters.

They have used skin-toned mini-figs in the Ferrari sets, but only representing specific real people

Ian

Damn, forgot about that set. Ok... I will go back to my original post...

Lego has said that all sets/minifigs that are based on real people will be skin-toned. I guess they are holding true to their word.

I love quoting myself :D ;)

If it really did come from Lucasfilm, then I'm sure it's a photo of a workshop dummy, a maquette, used for design/reference purposes - it'll be pretty crude compared to what we finally see on-screen.

[Orlego]

Wow, this is an odd looking set. :/

[Cello Collin]

Are you kidding? I love it! The design is just so out there, it's crazy! And all the pieces in those colors! And the new printing on the cockpit bubbles! Wicked cool. :-D

[iangreig]

Er, um, I'm not really sure what to say about that ... looks like some interesting pieces in there ... (where's the smiley for "horrified" when you need it ?)

Ian.

[Vader]

So this is the tri-fighter well it looks interesting but i dont think ill pick it up straight away.

[jonfett]

Erm.. like Ian and Orlego I am a bit confused about this set. What the hell is it? It doesn't look like a ship really but I guess I will have to see the film before I judge it. And look at the minfig!! *wacko*

Jon.

[Orlego]

So this is the tri-fighter well it looks interesting but i dont think ill pick it up straight away.

Same here, I will wait until it goes discontinued and buy it cheap. This set will become a Final Dual 1 & 2 type set.

[Orlego]

And the new packaging does not help this set.

[Vader]

What the hell is up with thta droid fig???

[jonfett]

Mmmm.. Kenoby Fried Skywalker!!

I think that Anakin has been in the deep fat fryer for too long! :P

But I agree that the set does looks very alike to the concept art.

Jon.

[Cello Collin]

It's a type of Droid Fighter. The little droid figure is a buzz droid used to attack starfighters.

C'mon guys, it's not that bad! It's a really wicked design. Better than other junky sets I've seen, like the AT-ST and the Geonosian Fighter. The colors are really spiffy, too. Oh well, more for me if y'all hate it so much. ;)

[Orlego]

What the hell is up with thta droid fig???

Thanks Vader, I was wondering what in the hell that was. :D

[Vader]

Well i like the Geonosian Fighter and i think that it looks alot better than this, still like the other sets it might look better when we see more clearer pics.

[Orlego]

This looks like an Alpha Team set *sick*

[Vader]

You beat me to it Orlego :-D
