2004/2005 Sets and discussion thread

[xwingyoda]

Thanks erao for the info ;)

[andy0113]

Someone has posted some links to 4 new OT system sets on FBTB - the image links he includes dont work, so Im a little sceptical, but the set names and content do sound quite convincing:

- JEDI TRAINING 51 pcs (7.95)

Includes Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, Han Solo.

- DEATH STAR COMMAND 39 pcs (7.95)

Includes Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin (!), Stormtrooper.

- SLAVE 1 432 pcs (59.95)

Includes Boba Fett, Han Solo in carbonite, Lando Calrissian, Princess Leia, Chewbacca w/C3PO, Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper.

- REBEL RESCUE 218 pcs (Ice Planet Hoth) (29.95)

Includes Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Snowtrooper, Taun-Taun, Wampa ice creature.

...so who knows, made up rumour or real? doubt it'll stay on FBTB for long, either way.

Well, I dont know yet if its true..... When are they supose to be out?

but great spotting andy0113 :)

[Vader]

Well i hope that these sets are real but i honestly doubt it :'(

[xwingyoda]

Thanks Andy 0113 for this fantastic info *satis*

Thats a dream becoming true: having tau-tauns!!!!

Please let this be correct!!!!!!!!

May the force be with TLC

He says "Q4 2005", so it'll be the end of the year. Here's the link to his post:

I guess "Jedi Training" would be the scene aboard the Falcon where Luke is lightsaber training with the remote?

I really hope all this info is true as I'd love to have all these sets, they sound great - however thats what also makes me suspicious! They almost sound *too* good, more like a fan's wishlist than a real Lego release. Shame we cant see those pics, just to be sure ;)

[xwingyoda]

This could be a great news (we need pics *sing* ) after a few disappointments:

- the vicking sets look less nice than the preliminary designs + no beards *devil* !!!

- the crappy dino line *devil* *devil*

So lets hope and see what a great SW year 2005 is going to be!!!!!

this Slave 1... might that be a remake of the old sets?

this would be a third version! couldn't they just remake the at st and the b-wing first?

[Vader]

Well that would be the sane thing to do, but before we start getting over excited lets all just wait to see if there real first.

oh yeah!! You also forgot the A-Wing ;)

[OOM-30]

I wonder what the pictures look like?

A) The pics work for me.

B) I think seeing them here boxed, with all the yet-to-be-released Episode III sets stacked behind them, make these sets much more than "rumored."

Maybe he can put them up another way.

[snefroe]

fbtb just deleted the message and the links. he thinks it's fake... and he's most likely right... *devil* *devil* *devil*

perhaps we should end this discussion as well?

[Vader]

Indeed we should, lets just concentraite on what we do know and not on what some idiot posted on fbtb as a joke.

I wonder if the new sandcrawler will have that little shute that was in ep4 the one that the jawas used to suck r2 up in.

[xwingyoda]

You're right Vader316, lets forget those stupid rumors that get on my nerves because those sets looked great.

How can a sandcrawler be complete without that huge suckin droid pump ;)

[MattZitron]

Please tell me heavy irony is in play.

[Vader]

This has already been discussed in another topic so ill close this one.

[sam89]

Hmm, they don't sound too real to me, but you never know. They just sound TOO good.

For instance, getting a Tarkin, a Wampa and a Taun Taun. I just doesn't seem likely. Here's a link to the "pics", if they work at all.

[andy0113]

Yeah it looks like a sham doesnt it. Did you notice someone at FBTB noticed a couple of flaws in the set descriptions too - namely that Lego sets are always priced x.99 rather than x.95, and that Chewie couldnt come with C3-P0 on his back as it would be impossible to fit any sort of backpack to his moulded back.

Oh well - back to the Sandcrawler ;)
