YG-49 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Droid Gunship was Walmart It was? Oh, my bad Well, that came to stores in Australia too Quote
KimT Posted April 29, 2009 Author Posted April 29, 2009 It was? Oh, my bad Well, that came to stores in Australia too As it did in other countries. Sadly the US members seem to believe that whenever a set is exclusive to some US chain of stores, then it's the same all over the world I see plenty of so-called exclusives in regular toy-stores here and it's getting annoying to keep track of which US chain of stores has this or that set as an exclusive. I guess it's the American way of shopping and advertising that requires stuff to be 'exclusive' Let's not discuss such matters here as I am sure it's different for Asia and Oceania. Let's keep this discussion about the sets and leave the availability discussion to the topic on just that (which can be found in the Star Wars Forum Index). - see how I got the last word? Quote
darkrebellion Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Maybe a totally new Executor is on the way . If it is a new Cloud City I am going to be really, REALLY happy . I just want some Ugnaughts!!!! . Quote
DarthSion Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Surprised the AT-OT hasnt popped up on eBay, well Aussie one. Quote
LoRd AmUnRa Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 hi, well I am still hoopppiiinngggg for en UCS Slave I in UCS millenium falcon style and a cloud city Bobo Fett this set would be fitt enormely good well with the UCS millenium falcon Quote
RileyC Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 i think its going to be UCS. It might be an AT AT or the Slave 1 which would be great! Quote
legopiotre Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 It may be one of the proposition for Toysr'us choice : Slave One with landing platform. But I really hope it will be a minifig scale AT-AT to go with the Echo set Quote

It might be an AT AT or the Slave 1 which would be great! Well if you want to talk about these unconfirmed sets you should go to the Future Star Wars Sets topic. Here is a link: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16407 Sorry KimT if I was doing your job. Anyways back on topic, I can't believe TLC didn't change Mon Mothma's hair! Does anybody know why they didn't change it? Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Thank you very much for the new pics of the Home One set, legoman! C´mon guys ! When does it stop? Here we get a load of new figs, with an acceptable amount of pieces, as a fans choice set. And you want even more minifigs AND a hangar big enough to fit a couple of more ships? Ok, TLG can do that - and it will cost you $500, are you buying ? I think it´s great, and off course there´s some stuff to modify, but that´s the whole idea behind the LEGO concept. Build your own 2x2 meter big hangar and put the UCS Falcon inside !CopMike I have to agree with CopMike on this one.When will you guys ever be satisfied? This is an awesome set and still you complain. Why not just be happy with what we're getting and then you can just MOD it into anything you want? C'mon people lighten up at bit. The sets we've been getting the past years are awesome compared to the earlier Star Wars sets. I totally have to agree with CopMike and KimT! Of course it can't be denied that the most of us (me of course included) would have prefered to get a whole Mon Cal. ship. But since it's very supposably that we'll get the RBR this year it's comprehendible that TLG can't release the Mon Cal. as a whole ship, too. And it would even be much too expensice to have to pay two big vehicles. And the main locations are included in this set plus we get five totally new and awesome minifigs! :wub: And we get a green A-Wing which means that we can use the last version of the red A-Wing nevertheless! Of course the price of this set surely won't be cheap (120 Euros?!) - but you have to think about that new minifigs are the most expensive things for TLG . I at least am lucky with this set and will surely buy it! It'll be on s@h for sure, same goes for the 7754 Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser. I really hope that since I must get this awesome Home One set! And btw: Sorry for that late comment on 7754, KimT, but I had no time to comment before.

pedro Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 I've just been checking out the box art from The Battle of Endor and just noticed for the first time some of the layers of functionality there are! The AT-ST has a gear on the back and judging by the way it's posed seems to indicate some kind of walking function! Either that or it's for turning the cockpit - like 7657 - but I dont' think so. The bunker, as well as having gears to open and close the doors like the Hoth Rebel Base, has an exploding function when you push down either of the sensor/communications dishes on the roof. Kabooom! This set rocks... Quote
YG-49 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 The AT-ST's walking function can be seen on a video on Flickr. Quote
legopiotre Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 I found some of this summer set already available on the Internet. the Endor set is priced at 108 € and can be found here. The Republic cruiser seems also available, like the separatist shuttle and the Y-wing. Echo Base and the snail tank are listed as coming late in June. I do not plan to buy them now (I am waiting for better prices and the annual Toys'r'us sales buy two, get the third LEGO for 1 €. But maybe a French guy will get some of these sets and write us a nice review Quote

GoN2Broadway Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) On the poster, there is a Green "Gungan Soldier"... I apologize if I'm mistaken, but I don't recognize that minifigure from any old sets... If I am correct that it is a new minifigure, we have our first non-confidential image concerning a new set! Actually, as I am going through the poster, there is a plethora of new minifigures that we have not seen releases of before! This is exciting seeing parts of unreleased sets already!

EDIT: By the way, all of the new minifigs you're seeing have been on this site for a long, long time. Catch up on you Star Wars. Edited May 3, 2009 by Darth Legolas Quote
def Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Though sets are generally late in Japan, for some reason the summer Endor and Hoth sets will be released in Japan May 30 Endor Hoth Endor is way overpriced, so I'll wait until it hits 10,000 yen. But Hoth I've already pre-ordered (though it looks almost like a battlepack, with little to build)... Maybe, just maybe, I'll get to be the first to review a new Lego set! Quote
Ruin Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Have they released the new Republic Drop ship w/ AT-OT in stores? Or is it staying at Shop @ Home, because I'd rather not pay 18 for shipping.. Quote
Bricklanta Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Have they released the new Republic Drop ship w/ AT-OT in stores? Or is it staying at Shop @ Home, because I'd rather not pay 18 for shipping.. I think it's only on Shop @ Home or in Lego Stores. Quote
Skipper 24 Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I grabbed a couple of new box pics. However the confidential stamp still remains so I haven't deeplinked them. Turns out they might not be better than our existing pics but they look a little more crisp. Link (when moderated) Quote
DarthSion Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Your or i am too quick, link says folder not public. Quote
ADHO15 Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Your or i am too quick, link says folder not public. That's why he said 'When moderated' in brackets. I look forward to seeing the pics, Skipper24. Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Do you think that if TLG releases the RBR this year (which I bet) that they then will reveal it at BrickFair (like the DS last year)? Klaus-Dieter Quote
KimT Posted May 4, 2009 Author Posted May 4, 2009 Do you think that if TLG releases the RBR this year (which I bet) that they then will reveal it at BrickFair (like the DS last year)?Klaus-Dieter Why would they release a Red Bull Racer? They've been quite generous the past years with cool releases at BrickFair and hopefully we'll see something cool this year too. Quote
