MattZitron Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 my god! at the rate lego are churning out great sets this year they had better star doing a finance option! :D Wonder if I can sell my Kidney for some Lego. Is that an option on Bricklink? Matt Quote
Luigi Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 *wub* What a lot good things happening *wub* *wub* ! Vikings, Starwas ... *wub* (hope the DS will be a play set, we must have figs) Quote

sam89 Posted February 12, 2005 Author Posted February 12, 2005 Yes, MR X confirmed it, as you can see on the front page and in the my post above. Quote
MattZitron Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Yes, MR X confirmed it, as you can see on the front page and in the my post above. But hey, You can always customise it! Matt Quote
The Middleman Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Aha, I thought so... DEATH STAR II! And Sandcrawler will look great in a Tatooine landscape. Quote
Little_Russell Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 This seems to match the sandcrawler description: sandcrawler look behind he writing. This is from a 1999 "Bricks and Pieces" official lego magazine with a bit about the new star wars sets. Quote
sam89 Posted February 12, 2005 Author Posted February 12, 2005 I suppose it could end up looking like that. The UCS Snowspeeder in the magazine was very similar to the one they released, although the UCS Y-Wing wasn't. Quote
Bloke Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Well, this is indeed good news. I wonder how the sandcrawler will be constructed?...perhaps a bit like the AT-AT, with an inner skeleton of assorted colours (bet there is a green plate in there somewhere) and the outside hinged made up of Brown plates so you can lift the sides up etc. Regarding the figs for this set, C3PO and R2 should be there, perhaps the "Gonk" droid from Jabba's Palace too....3PO in silver?? Looking forward to this one. Bloke Quote
MattZitron Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 I hope there's lots of room for extra droids. That was my problem with Jabba's Palace, not enough room. Matt Quote
Vader Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Man i would love to see a sandcrawler done like that but i doubt it will happen. :'( Quote
Bloke Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 I only mention the skeleton and hinge plate approach as its been done with the AT-AT, so one would think the designers would look at that and use the same sort of building idea...well thats what I would do anyway *wacko* Quote
MattZitron Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 If its gonna be big though, why only 3 jawas, R2 and 3PO? WE WANT MORE!!!!!!!! Quote
sam89 Posted February 12, 2005 Author Posted February 12, 2005 I'm hoping that in the pic he saw the other figs were inside the Sandcrawler. It's unlikely, but we can hope :-D Quote
Vader Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 I would expect more droids to be included, but then again theres lots of custom ones out there that could be used. Quote
Bloke Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 I wonder what price it would be? Its a big thing, well if they do it right that is ;) Maybe 3 Jawa's, a sprinkling of droids....maybe 2 Evaporators (think thats right..the ones in the Tusken Raider set) , perhaps a fleshy Luke even?? I like speculating :-D Perhaps a price tag of around Quote
Ras 74 Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 My 2 cents goes to your ide Bloke, that this set will be built like the AT-AT. We have more ex. of that. The Turbo tank and the AT-TE as well. I really wan Quote
MattZitron Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Man, I just thought if its huge and empty inside, you could do Sandcrawler Russian Dolls!!! Quote
Vader Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Pics will come soon enough Ras, lets just hope that they are worth the wait :) Quote
sam89 Posted February 12, 2005 Author Posted February 12, 2005 Well Mister X said no pics this time, since he's trying to keep his source secret. Quote
MattZitron Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Well Mister X said no pics this time, since he's trying to keep his source secret. Have you seen them then Sam? Quote
Vader Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Hey sam did you meet this Mr X in a unlit car park :-D ;) Quote
sam89 Posted February 12, 2005 Author Posted February 12, 2005 Have you seen them then Sam? No, I'm just passing on what Mister X told me. Quote
