Jipay Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 it reminds me the good old days when we were two posting around ^^ I mass emailed members to tell them we're back Quote
Vader Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Guess i should post then cant let you two have all the fun :-D , gotta say i love the turbo tank and having a mace windu included only makes me want it more...its just a shame that we cant see his face :( Quote
sam89 Posted January 2, 2005 Author Posted January 2, 2005 The Clone Turbo Tank, Wookiee Catamaran and ARC-170 Fighter are my favourites. They're all great models and have great minifigs :-D Quote
ApophisV Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Okay, here are my thoughts... ;) 7255: The legs are Battle Droid legs.... The head is a mold (that was sure), but it looks a bit too fat IMO.. The torso is a new mold, I expect something like the skeleton' torso... With a cylinder to attach the head (like at the minifigs) About the arms I'm really not sure... Are there two or four?!? The look mostly like normal Battle Droid arms, but I'm not 100% sure about this.... And how are they connected?!? Most of the pictures showing them going to different directions, if they are connected like they are at the Battle Droids this isn't possible. So maybe they ARE new molds, and at one side they got some skeleton like ball joint connection.... But this are just my thoughts, what do you think about this?!? The beast looks better at this picture, the colors harmonize more: 7261: Wow.... that looks much better than everything I'd expected.... First of all: Sand green Scout Trooper!!! Then we get new printed shields (4 pieces attached to the speeder bike), two Battle Droids (*wub*) and a silly looking Mace... The vehicle itself looks great.... Very massive and detailed.... 7260: THIS is one of the sets I'll get for sure... Though this looks very "ancient", its looking cool too...I'm happy that the "boat pieces" are made from parts and not using molds (I thought they'd use the islanders' canoes) Nice parts, nice design, some Minifigs (yoda, the other Jedi, troopers,...) My only complain is, that they included once again this shooting mechanism..... :/ Oh, and that trooper vehicle looks silly..... 7258: Erm....Ugly.... wierd... and ugly.... and wierd..... Bleh..... >-| 7259: BEAUTIFUL!!!! *wub* A large fighter, well contructed, nice parts, nice color scheme, I really love it.... *satis* And we get THREE(!!!!) TransGrey canopies..... |-D 7257: A playset.... Bad diorama thing, but nice part source and nice for playing with it (wait... we're AFOLs... we DON'T play with Lego... we use it for display and collecting purposes.... I will NOT play with it... I will not.... I... I.... I WANNA PLAY WITH IT!!!! NOW!!!!!! :D :D ) Huh, enough for now.... ;) Quote
sam89 Posted January 2, 2005 Author Posted January 2, 2005 I think Grievous' arms are a new mold, since the "clips" at each end seem to be at different angles. And I think that he will come with four arms (that's what the pic on the side of the box shows), but only two are shown on the front of the box pic. I also agree that the creature looks better in that pic, hopefully that's how it looks in real life. Quote
jonfett Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Here are some more pictures from rebelscum, which are supposedly catalog pics. They seem a little bit clearer but are only Preliminary Designs. Jon. Quote
DoubleT Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Yeah, but they are not the final desings. Remeber that, the first ones is, always fun to see evolution But i think the new sets are great :) Quote
Jipay Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 it would be soooo funny to see a battle droid grievious like this one :-D Quote
DoubleT Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Even many these prototypes are great :) thanx jon Quote
jonfett Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 My thoughts on the sets. 7255: I like the look of Grevious.. but I hope his head has some sort of paint on it and it not just plain like the ewok head. His body does look a little strange.. mostly due to the battle droid legs but I am sure he will look cool once we get to really see him. 7258: This looks like a bit of a fun set, not quite sure about the 2.. things? in it. The battle droid gun reminds me of that cart that came with Gungan Patrol and I will judge the wookie walker (:D) one I have seen the film. 7261: I love this viechle, it looks so fun and I bet this will kick @ss in the film. Not too sure about the green scout trooper?? and I am sure mace will look alot better once he is finished. At the moment it seriously looks like his face was drawn on with a pen. 7260: I think this set looks good too. I like the new wookie mold and the ship has got a cannon! :-D The clone sppeder thing looks neat plus, we get 6 figs with this set! 7257: Not mcuh of a set really, sure it will be fun to play about with the duel but there is not much to this set apart from the 2 figs and light up sabers. 7259: This looks like a mix between the gunship and x-wing. Very nice, one of my favourite ones. I love the wing design and the cockpit set up too. A nice range of sets here.. I hope I can get them all!! Jon. Quote
Jipay Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 I think most of those sets are really interresting. I am really happy with the pricing, small sets everywhere for small wallets, but with a good content ! Can't wait ! :) Quote
sam89 Posted January 2, 2005 Author Posted January 2, 2005 A nice range of sets here.. I hope I can get them all!! I also hope I can get all of them. It would be the first time I've ever got all of a range of Star Wars sets. If I don't manage it will probably be because I don't get the Ultimate Lightsaber Duel set, which I was a little disappointed in. And jipay, I am also very happy with the pricing. Sets in Europe have got a lot cheaper this year compared to the American prices :) Quote
Vader Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Cheaper sets are allways a good thing IMO :-D After looking at all these sets im very pleased with all the new figs (even though we still havent got a kit fisto :'( ) i just hope that they change the legs on grevious. Ill probably buy most of the sets apart from the Ultimate duel which to me just dosent look good, but never mind with the money i save from that set it means i can get a few more clonewalkers :-D Quote
DoubleT Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Almost all sets are impressiv.... And lego must like us.............. 5 different kinds of troopers |-D |-D |-D Quote
