starstreak Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Well that ain't fair. I got no Lego store near me. Hmm... Quote
CommanderCody77 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) I just wanted to let everyone know that the new 10195 Dropship and AT-OT set is now available at the Lego Store in Anahiem. In talking with the store manager, he said that they were given instructions to put it on the shelves as soon as they got it in. So all the Lego stores should be selling it soon, if they are not already doing so. It looks even more awesome in person. I can't believe it! Please get it when they start selling and give us a review please! Also does anybody know the official release date for the summer wave? For example, last years official release date was July 26 Edited March 22, 2009 by CommanderCody77 Quote
Filip Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 The Echo Base seems kinda expensive. 155 pieces for 27 euro is a lot to me. Does anybody know where I can find better pictures of The Battle of Endor's interior? I am sure there are some pictures on the net but I am just too lazy tp search . Quote

Natman8000 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Why didnt you buy one? That is awesome that some stores are stocking the set already. I wish I had the dough to afford it Quote
Zzz Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Is it right that the final minifig designs are not set yet? Neither the figures nor their box images at the toyfair in NY were final designs, right? Quote
Millacol88 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Well, it's not really big news to me. There are no LEGO stores in Canada and that set is horribly over-priced IMHO. Quote
Darth Legolas Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Is it right that the final minifig designs are not set yet? Neither the figures nor their box images at the toyfair in NY were final designs, right? On the contrary, just about everything at the NY toyfair, except for the Bionicle section, I think, was final. 10195 was shown as it was released, the Venator isn't changing, and those are obviously final minifigs if you look at the Senate Commandos!

Clone OPatra Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Is it right that the final minifig designs are not set yet? Neither the figures nor their box images at the toyfair in NY were final designs, right? I think the box images aren't going to change much at all. Most things were pretty final by the looks of them, but there are a few exceptions. The ewoks will hopefully get a paint job on them, and Palpatine will get blond Dooku hair instead of the gray Dooku hair he had at Toy Fair. Everything else was pretty final though. Quote

ADHO15 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Palpatine is getting blond hair? I thought he was getting grey! I noticed it was quite obviously blonde in Hostage Crisis, which is inaccurate. He should have grey. Maybe he'd just had it dyed! Edited March 22, 2009 by ADHO15 Quote
Darth Legolas Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I noticed it was quite obviously blonde in Hostage Crisis, which is inaccurate. He should have grey.Maybe he'd just had it dyed! Yes, Palpatine in CW form has blond hair, because of some idiotic reason, but I don't think TLG will change it. It would be a pretty pointless move, if you ask me. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 In all of the Clone Wars episodes, Palpatine has had Blonde hair. I say he is going to get blonde hair in the Venator because of this pic: The other box pics also picture him with blonde hair. I could be wrong about this though, perhaps they will decide to change it to gray. I personally hope I am not wrong. Quote

Why did the CW creators give him blond hair anyway? Quote
DarthSion Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I think you will find it is meant to be white for an old man. Quote
ADHO15 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) I think you will find it is meant to be white for an old man. We've never seen any indication of it being white. The actual fig had grey hair and the fig on the box has blonde. Seeing as that is true to his Clone Wars image, I'm betting on blonde. Plus, in the very first blurry picture with the 5 figs at the side, he had blonde hair. See: EDIT: Sorry for the big pic. I've changed to a link. Edited March 22, 2009 by ADHO15 Quote

I think it will be grey in the set and it is either the light or prelim box printing. Quote
DarthSion Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Well i think he looks good, and im stopping there before this gets too off topic. Quote

Check my link above and you'll see it's clearly blonde. Well i think he looks good, and im stopping there before this gets too off topic. We are discussing 2009 sets, therefore, it's not off-topic. I agree, the fig is very accurate and looks great. Quote
Bricks Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Check my link above and you'll see it's clearly blonde. I think both opinions are possible. Either the box of the set have still his prelim. design and the TLC will change it. Or they just used the grey hairs at the NY-Toy Fair because TLC made already these hairs in such a grey colour (7752...). We will see, but I think both versions look great!

'Bricks' Bricks, you do know that both of the options you gave end up with Palpatine having blond hair? Either the box is wrong or the minifig is wrong? Don't you mean either the box is right/wrong and the minifig is right/wrong? Quote

Don't you mean either the box is right/wrong and the minifig is right/wrong? I believe what Bricks meant was that either the box is preliminary and LEGO will later change the box to have him with gray hair, or the figure with gray hair is preliminary and they will change the figure to match the box.

The Crazy One Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 In The Phantom Menace, Palpy had blond hair, In Attack of the Clones, he had greyish blond and in the CW seris he has greyish blond hair aswell. Look, i think the figure will be blond aswell. Quote
Filip Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) That looks grey to me. EDIT: Oops, should have read the whole page . Edited March 22, 2009 by Filip Quote
