Wether blue is cheaper than grey, or they just don´t want to.

But it is a strange phenomenon that LEGO puts often blue pins in such bad places where they look too odd.

How do they work, then? Why would they use blue pins rather than more suitable black or grey pins?

Sometimes I think that the only reason that they do use blue pins is for the build itself. They may be easier to spot in the building instructions for some people, noticeably for younger, less experienced children, than the black or grey pins. I wish they would use those pin colors too for accuracy, but I think it only a minor distraction. And for anyone who does know of any four year olds who could design sets like the ones we have gotten in the last few waves, well, then I quit. At almost 32, I can not come close to the coolness factor of any of these sets... For those of you out there that have been in this thing since 99, look at the elegant, yet blocky builds of any of those earlier renditions. For example, the Naboo Starfighter. The 07' version is insanely accurate, even passing the UCS version of 02'. I have been working on a hybrid combination of all 3... And I still find my MOC wanting. Not saying the 99 doesn't have its charm. For it's day, what a leap forward it was.

There's a video of the complete 2009 Lego SW collection here.

Thanks for the link. Nothing really new there though. Did Starwars.com make a video like that last year?

Or you could check out flickr.

Nope, and you're not the first person to ask. No one knows, and I don't care all too much considering the tank is meant to pilot itself!

But since on the box picture in the back it showed nothing, then I don't think it does.

BUT: On the back of the box, thanks for prompting me to look, we can see that just like on the AAT the guns are also flickfire missiles, and the set includes a fling launching pad to send the two Jet Troopers into the air! (With the good backpacks, and don't you forget it!)

not like the old one from wookiee attack? im going to moc it just like the one from wookiee attack because it looks too small.

lego has failed to impress me. the new videos put up (thanks for whovever was it) has now lowered my hype for these new sets. all of the sets look too small. i might get the AT-OT, but it has a sort of major flaw. the cockpit folds back onto the 6 front seats. this being that you can only carry 6 people in the back rather than 12.

The endor bunker looks decent with the doors and blasting walls? but it includes a lot of new figs.

The Y wing doesn't look that great and I have too many anakins and ahsokas already.

The venator is terrible because it's just little rooms combined that u can take out. not worth it. plus 5 figs?

Gunray's ship looks the best cheap set i have seen in a while minus the battle packs. definetly getting that, the revolving doors impress me as well. gunray looks really good as well. plus pilot droids for us that didn't get the MTT.

Is the Republic Emblem a sticker or pieces? I can't see it that clearly because today my laptop is not working that good

If you're talking about the big ones on the sides of the top of the Venator, they're stickers.

It was me! Interesting, I had almost the same opinions.

It's a sticker.

Can you show me a pic?

Here's one:

You can clearly see that it's a sticker.

It has been posted several times by now.

I think we first saw this video 2 weeks ago or something like that.

This was posted too:

Count Blockula's video coverage of Toy Fair

This is going in circles.

I don't think this has been mentioned but the new Y-wing has the colours inverted. Where there is white there should be yellow and where yellow there should be white. At least it's like that according to this pic from Wookieepedia.

EDIT: I watched the episode again at part and it turns out some had that pattern.

IMO I think that more yellow looks better. I'm still not going to get it, though.

The Y-wing released is Anakin's. His was special, and designed the opposite of the rest.

Thanks for clarifying that Legolas.

good catch !

I had never seen these differencies but with your picture, it becomes clear. Thank you for sharing your starwars knowledge with us !

This just shows TLC has attention to detail :)

Yet it uses a light, clear bubble instead of a dark one when you can clearly see it's the same as the cockpit

in that picture.

I don't know why, but I have a whole bunch of dark bubbles so it's no problem for me, easily fixable, but i have no clue why they changed it in the first place. That's why I started the confusing topic.

I bet that most of the Clone Wars cartoon vehicle designs are created so that they can easily be made with LEGO bricks.

Well, I wouldnt go that far. I dont think they would solely make these ships just for simple Lego-ish quality.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the other companies like Hasbro.

Sorry about that.

Yeah, TLC has to design lego versions of Star Wars Vehicles probably not the other way around.
