LEGO Star Wars 2009 Sets and Rumours

[Darth Legolas]

What kind of paper do you need for decals?

I use sticker paper. Though gluing regular paper works fine, if you do it right.

EDIT: Back on topic: I still really would like to know why would they take them off in the first place? Someone here has got to know! I mean, the sticker would only be the same size as the republic symbols on the V-19.

Then again, they haven't officially been taken off yet!

I'll use sticker. I have horrible hand-eye. Whats best decal sight for star wars?

[JimboJones]

notice how they used grand tarkins head for palps head, i think they'll change it as it is still clone wars

And i think its gunray

[JimBee]

Thanks, sam89.

Lok Durd... does it really matter? I'll be happy to take any Nemodian, since all of them in minifigure version will be Nute Gunray to me. Just like Ashoka was Shaak Ti to me.

The Venator looks a lot better now; slim, long, and relatively sleek.

Personally, I think the Endor base is fantastic. If the set itself isn't up to par, you get 10 great minifigures, an AT-ST, a catapult, two speeder bikes, and some parts (the base isn't anything special).

Finally, in the Separatists shuttle, I take back what I said about the clone being included. Like in other Toy Fair pictures, some of the minifigs are switched around. From these new picture from jedinews.com, I'd say that there's two battle droids (plus the Nemodian and the Rodian).

If that is Lok Durd, and not Gunray, then he will soon be turned into Gunray by me.

Besides, the Senator was never with Lok Durd...

Well to me this new pics look great . First I think this are almost finished pics with just a few changes from what will be the actual sets (Mainly in the minifigs) but are still very clear. I think we know almost everything that appears in this pics from a long time ago but I really love the possibility that this pics have to see close-ups of some minifigs with clever definition and detail .

I am almost extremely surethat the Neimodian is Nute Gunray and here are my reasons:

- First the set seems to be based in the "Bombad Jedi" episode cause the selection of minifigs.

- Maybe the color is a bit bley but Gunary isn´t that green at all and maybe is just that some pics make him look greenish. Also the TLC could easily change the color range for a more accurate minifig or ship (cough*Flying Wing*cough ).

- Lok Durd use blue tunics and clothes and Gunray use orange and red in the "Bombad Jedi" episode.

- I doubt we will se Lok Durd in some time cause he is captured by the Republic at the end of "Defenders of Peace" (I know the CIS could rescue him but I doubt they will do considering the minor importance of him in the series at the moment.

- I think the kids will know A LOT more who is Nute Gunray one of the most influent CIS leaders than a simple weapon designer and minor general like Lok Durd .

[Derek]

Darth Legolas, I really am not trying to be harsh, but that really isn't Lok Turd, or whatever his name is. I am nearly postive that the set is supposed to be based on "Bombad Jedi", and the Rodian is obviously Onocadda Farr and the Nemieodian is Nute Gunray. I hate to burst your bubble, but that is the truth, there is substantial evidence to prove it.

[Oky]

Agreed. It's one of the many proofs that these pics are still prelim. So don't get too excited about these, people, it's just a high-res version of what we've already seen.

About the rest of the venator: I really hope that the first pic we saw of this set was the most finalized amongst the prelim pics of it. It had an Open-Circle Fleet symbol and a Pilot instead of a normal clone. I mean, come on, we can get normal clones from the BP and the any of the other sets, so give us something we can usually not get so easily, TLG - a pilot! Besides, who is gonna fly the thing if there is no pilot?

And yes, I am curious about the interior too.

Btw, I'm loving Palpy's poncho thingy!

And i think its gunray

Of course it's gunray! Who else? Lok Durd?? This fig has orange cloths and is in a set together with Onaconda Farr, so I think we can be pretty damn sure that it's Gunray.

He still looks kinda weird to me, but if I can get this set for under 30$, I'll get it for the two exclusive figs.

Do you guys think that that battery box with whip-cable will be included in the set? I don't see it on the prelim box art. Would be kinda neat IMHO.

Pics of the Venator interior ON!

[CloneMe]

I really hope they do change the senate guards. Right now they look kind of stupid, but Im sure theyll change.

[Clone OPatra]

I hope LEGO decides to make a new mold in the end for the blue Republic Guards or whatever they are called, but I doubt it will happen. Using the clone helmet but in blue for them is similar to how LEGO used the regular clone helmet for the Ep3 pilots.

Do you guys think the scout troopers will have a black head underneath the helmet or a new flesh version of the old scout trooper head? I seem to see a little coloring on the black part of one of them.

[Belloq]

Using the zoom in onthese I noticed that:

1. Anakin has what appears to be a new hairpiece, and a new face.

2. Leia's hair has reverted back to buns.

3. The rebel troopers helmets are now dark green millitary caps (prelim, though, since the ewoks aren't painted.)

4. Nute Gunray's crown looks unbelievable

5. The Taun Taun is split neatly down the middle

6. Palpy is still quite preliminary, his vest-shoulder thing, however, is not.

7. The senate guards might just be blue painted clones.

8. Endor will hold Death Star Troopers

Thank you so much. Actually the helmet for the senate clones is slightly different. I hope the fin thin on top is different than the clone helmets as well. I do hope they have different body styles though. On the zoomed in image their the same. But who cares. They are pre lim pics. We will see what they really will be in the coming toy fair.

Ha the fin thingy is different.

Wheres the photo of the inside of the Venator? I cant find it.

I noticed the the tauntaun has a new stubby tailpiece. It might be able to be used on Jabba to give him a shorter tail.

[CloneCommanderDelta7]

Speculations

1. Tank Droid-No sticker, fully preliminary

2. Seperartist Shuttle-If you look ate the 2nd pic there is a white Gunray

3. Anakins hairpierce is just turned around

4. Endor is fully prliminary

5. Hoth has the Tauntaun and not the tauntaun that looks like a grey kangaroo

6. Senate Guards are good to go, Clone Trooper in the Venator looks like it was made with whatever was lying around, Palpy doesn't have a torso print and the Venator looks like it needs some work.

What CloneCommanderDelta7 said about the Clone Trooper in the Venator is true I guess because...

Does anyone notice that the Clone Trooper in the Venator has a Storm Troopers body ? So it's still preliminary I guess.

The Clone in the Venator also has a black head if you look closely you'll see that theres no flesh only black

[SWMAN]

I think we have established that they are preliminary by now. I don't think everybody needs to point out the flaws.

Considering the differences, I'd say that these pictures are more recent than these pics.

Meaning that all the differences you mention are actually older designs than the designs on the box pictures, which are probably a lot more true to the final designs.

EDIT: never mind, I've seen that lots more people have already pointed this out before me...

Edited January 29, 2009 by Alldarker

[Snake...SNAKE...SNAAAAKE?!]

It's just like how the early 09 pics were in a similar catalog as the second batch o' pics. Look at the differences!

THe originals had original Yoda, Original windu and stickers on the assassin speeder. Baisically, the older pics are newer (wierd as that sounds)

Thanks for the link! I cant wait for the release of the venator! It is going to be awesome!

EDIT: I just saw the senate guards! They look cool! By the way does anyone notice the clone trooper at the venator? His armour is similar to the stormtroopers.

Yes, I noticed that, too. But that will be not the end version, I'm sure.

The sets looks with every new pictures better and better. I love all of the sets, but especially the venator, the endro playset and the seperatist shuttle.

I hope to see them, at first in July in T'r'U-Store and other special markets.

So great year, made from TLC!

I look most forward to the Venator cause every time I tried to make it using it bricks it was too small no space for interior or was too boxy.I'll have to save up because I'll be getting 2-3 of these.

The second I look forward to is the Endor Playset having the very old scout troopers and having leia chewbacca and a well done ATST it looks very good with the deathstar trooper too.

The Third I look forward to is the Separatists shuttle having Onaconda Farr and Nute Gunray I'll defeinetly buy 2-3 of these cause of I have a lot of MOC Separatists leaders and I'll collect some Rodians

Ever heard of staying on topic? And yes, now 4 people following me have said that the Clone has stormtrooper armor. This has already been said as well, the older pics are newer!

Also, I really hope Palpatine keeps his Dooku hair. It suits him perfectly. Now I'm confused about you guys talking about the inside of the Venator, considering there's no picture.

Now here's an explanation for all the people who hate me for saying that I tihnk Nute GUnray will actually be Lok Durd. Why? It fits perfectly! Onaconda and Gunray, on the shuttle like in bombad Jedi, he's wearing Nute's clothes, everything!

Well, one of my reason's is that's definitely not Nute's hat OR face, and those two things match Durd perfectly, plus PT fans that hate CW would get mad if the only Gunray was CW.I'm not saying it obviously should be Lok, and in fact, Gunray would go 10 times better with the set, but, as said famously, "Hat's make the Neimidoians."Have you ever seen a Neimiodian without their special hat? And that's Lok's hat!

[Commander Flash]

Maybe its Lok Turd in Gunrays clothes...

Its absolutely Gunray, TLC isnt that inaccurate to add random people in sets
