Bricks Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I'm confident, that we get from the Lego Company a really good new box design. Red and white are colours from the republic so it is apposite, too. I didn't understand this point, could you bring us pcitures penguin? Bricks Quote

pjibid Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Do you know when it will be legal to show the pics? Quote
Darth Legolas Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Hi everyone,First post, but i've been observing this forum for a while. Anyway I know a newbie doesn't hold much weight, but what the Penguin said is correct, the new Clone Wars Packaging for 2009 will be red, this will be for the Star Wars Hasbro toys also. I work in the UK toy retail industry and have seen the images for a few of the 2009 lego and star wars toys. I have a few images I will post, but I will have to wait nearer to Toy Fair at the end of the month as I could get into real trouble with my Reps. Talk soon. So, as we've all said, this confirms it. Not that I could really care so much, but hu-zah! Thanks so much, and by the way, since you can't really take pictures 'til later, could you describe some of the sets? Quote

Brickthing Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Not if you were to read the first post of this topic. Good point. However, my source shows the release dates of all of these sets as June. For NZ at least. Quote

Pencoin Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Beautiful... I will have to brick-link those blue dudes. Quote
legomilk Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Hey, I love my secret source but if it is a real picture of 8039. I hope soon to be more important places. Quote
CommanderBly 128 Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) I sure hope not, the figs look good but the venator looks like a pile of crap, it looks like a 6 year old disiged that. If this is true it is worse than the pod race bucket Edited January 7, 2009 by Grow up Quote

Dont know what to think of these pics.. It looks a litle naked on the sides where you can see the tecnics briks.. But if it isn't real someone has gone in to a lot of trouble to make it look like a real TLC set. Quote
Brickthing Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) How reliable is your secret source? Although there is the full possibility that it is the real thing, the amount of showing studs and the colour scheme don't match the other CW sets IMO. And Palpatine would be dark red wouldn't he? EDIT: This may be just me, but it's design uses quite a lot of techniques used in a UCS Star Destroyer doesn't it? Edited January 7, 2009 by 3D Brickthing Quote
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I looked forward to a cruiser like the ISD. Huge, and unable to be carried, when it costs 500R more than the Endor Playset. This looks more like a Republic Shuttle. Well, maybe it has good furnishings. The figure choise is very weak. It HAS to be a racked Republic Attack Shuttle. Quote

I hope soon to be more important places. sorry I was wrong text as busy with something else. but I have found this picture I do not canceled. is really private. otherwise I do not find a more news and it will still be without Quote
SkyOtic Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I must say, that it looks very small. and a very poor fig inclusion Quote
Darth Legolas Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) What I don't understand is.. why would Lego make something so...bad? I was really really hoping for something just like the ISD! That was so much better... considering this barely even looks like a Venator! It's WAAAY to fat, it's definitely wrongly shaped, terribly wrong color scheme, and it's plane and bare! In fact, this looks more like a $60 set than $130!!!! Possibly the Penguin could tell us if this is the one he saw? Edited January 7, 2009 by Darth Legolas Quote
Corvus Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I don't mind the fig selection. While I'd like some Clone officers, it's nice to get three new figs and two relatively hard-to-get ones. The set is good too. It has the overall shape and you know what it is, and it's taller so the figs'll have headroom. You guys wanted an interior, right? Quote
natelite Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 the lack of any shooting device or play feature makes me doubt the authenticity of this set. plus you can see the shadow doesn't exactly line up. looked to have been tampered with. my guess is that is a fan's creation. either that or perhaps it's a very very early prototype before they take it apart and add all those flick missiles. in any case, wouldn't have expected to see the commandos that early. you usually see new molds very late in development...when they are finalizing the details...that doesn't seem to me to be the finalizing stage photo.

This gives me hope, but this shape is all wrong, and it's so... ugly. @Mr.Mandalorian: We wanted interior, but we really, REALLY didn't want them to alter the shape of the ship! I might as well buy tihs set, cut is straight in half, but the front of an ISD on it and put the red stripe on! The front needs to be at least another 3 inches longer, and the color scheme has to be fixed! Just look at what a real Venator looks like! Quote
KimT Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 It looks like the real deal to me. A downscaled Venator, just like the ISD was downscaled. I could be wrong though, it has happened once or twice before... Quote

Plenty of places to add a spot for the rubber-tipped shooters. We didn't know there was a launcher in the AT-TE till later, right? Quote
