Motti Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) I think it looks beautiful. It looks likeyou get Emperor Palpitine, 2 Royal Guards, a Clone pilot, and a Clone gunner. The only thing is, the front should be a lot longer. Sp1nKy That's Supreme Chnacellor of the Galactic Republic Palpy,not Emp. At least not yetAnyway, there is the possibility that the front part was not closed properly, giving the look of a large space between this and the bridge and overly exaggerated slopes.

darkrebellion Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Well I know the main public for the TLC are the kids but just think that all the other sets are almost identical to their ship partners. This one is somewhat growing in me but this is definitely not the best job of the TLC. Also I am starting to think this is fake just see the next points: - Why the TLC took a photo like this? Look it really looks very unprofessional in my opinion. The pics of the TLC have always been in a wjite background and with a well defined shadow. Also they are very neat and not blurry like this one. - The helmet of the Senate Commando is possibly this custom: Custom helmet. - Then we haven´t see very good made MOCs supposed to be real? Anyone remember that really well made photo of the Imperial Dropship that ended been a custom. - And why we can´t see the face of Palpy? It looks like he has the blonde hairpice poiting backwards and also those clothes seem to be the same as the Willie´s ones. Quote
halomaster96 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) This looks like a more official image: edit: picture removed by request of TLG. The more I look at this pic the better it looks. The thing that makes it look like it wasn't made by TLC is that there is no flick-fire missiles. Edited January 10, 2009 by KimT Quote
Darth Legolas Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Oh my, if Motti is right, I will be so happy! Maybe they closed it improperly so it looks like (---) by accident! And possibly darkrebellion is right. As for Copmike: You are right, but here's what the main difference is. The ISD wasn't huge at all, but it was BIG. You could probably fit about 15-20 minifigs in there if you crammed 'em all in, unlike this, which looks like the reason it has 5 figs is because it's all they can fit! Again, it's smaller than the RAG! It's supposed to be able to fit 100 RAGS! And I know that ain't possible, but they can at least sensibly size it, for $180! (By the way, sorry if I'm angering you...) @Halomaster96: Thanks so much! No we can see clearly the protruding trans-purples knob, which must mean a feature!

ROCON Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Ohh thats gonna be tough to beat Darkrebellion, however now I,m on both sides. A point for it being real would be the red deathstar in Palpy's hand; and a point for it being fake would be the characters and minifig guns (>.<) Edited January 8, 2009 by ROCON Quote

Thatis because you're getting over the initial shock of looking at this. It's really not that bad *raises arms to block stones being hurled* Quote
Darth Legolas Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Thatis because you're getting over the initial shock of looking at this. It's really not that bad *raises arms to block stones being hurled* Actually Motti, I do believe you are correct. Let me show you my point: edit: picture removed. (Thanks again for the guy who cleared this up.) Without that annoying shadow, you can see that at the bottom there are some hooks un attached, and the techinc beams looks separated, meaning the latch to the "roof" we all know it will have was put together back, causing the ship to look weird and ugly. You can also again see there is the knob, meaning maybe there is a missile feature, or escape pod feature. Though Palpy still looks like an Alien and the SC's still look fake. @KimT: This isn't preliminary, if it's even real, no, but it's still at an early early stage, and I can guarantee you the minifigs will get better (or worse!) And for the people who are talking about how much you love the Senate Commandos, I don't know if you have super site, but all I see is two blue blobs. And the color scheme does look better, but the dark bley on the front could use some... improvement. All around the ship looks better, but now I need to see what the price will be! Where did we come up with 180 euros to start with? Edited January 10, 2009 by KimT Quote
RoflWafls Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Is Palpy's hair blonde in the cartoon? Cause it's blonde in this set..... Quote
Darth Legolas Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Is Palpy's hair blonde in the cartoon? Cause it's blonde in this set..... Blondish-Gray, and we can see that from the brickamster picture right below it, but again, you can't tell anything from that Venator picture, considering we can't see where his head stops and his head starts! Even thoguh usually we can sort of see the minifigs...a little bit clearer... EDIT: I think I can see it clearer now! Thanks to halomaster96, Palpatine isn't holding anything, that's his cape blowing behind him, and he has his head turned, not his hair backwards! Edited January 8, 2009 by Darth Legolas Quote
Bounty Hunter Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 man I can not wait to get some of these sets! The ventor looks ok, but I am not getting it. But someone else may injoy it then me. Quote
halomaster96 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Everyone found more stuff than I did in a pic that I found. All I saw in it was a background that looked better and more official. Pics are gone.... It's real I knew it was real. That's why I saved it. Quote

halomaster96 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Edit by Hinckley: Pic removed by request of TLG8039 Venator-class Republic Attack Cruiser ™ Pieces: ? Price: 180 EUR / ? USD / ? GBP Minifigs: ? Release: Summer 2009 Makes it even more official!!! Quote
Matteo Kenobi Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Sorry Samxsteal but I think that you're wrong, in that helmet from Brickforge, it doesn't close at the bottom. As in the holes for the eyes and mouth are completely cut out and there is no plastic sealing the bottom of the helmet. Where as on a close up of the guards you can see it does. Quote
Derek Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I'm willing to bet that the helmet isn't a new mold, just the clone helmet cast in blue with a different print. Quote
Matteo Kenobi Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Makes it even more official!!! Haha I guess we have our confirmation, all I can say is I hope they make it a bit bigger or pictures come out that are a bit more flattering Quote
Oky Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Edit by Hinckley: Pic removed by request of TLG Well, I guess that answers the question of if it's real or not. The only question now is how much prelim that pic is. I for one hope that they will improve the ship a bit for its release. I don't like how "fat" it looks, and I don't like all that dark bley in there. I am quite satisfied with the minifigs to be honest, though. You get Palpy, two Senate Guards to protect him, one Pilot to fly the thing, and one gunner to operate its weapons. What more do you need? Sure, one or two Jedi would have been nice, but also kinda random and just a bonus to the set. I don't have any high hopes for the interior, especially considering the rumored piece count. I am expecting something similar to the ISD: A control room as a bridge, a throne for Palpy, a weapons rack, and some kind of small escape pod-ish vessel. Either way, I'll get this set! Quote
Bricklanta Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I too hope for a new Greivous(cw) as well Bricklanta; a bigger, flexible, and sturdier Greivous would be nice. But which set? =0 I'm not sure which set maybe in the early 2010 sets? Quote
Erdbeereis Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Frankly, I hope that by at least summer 2010 that we'll be done with the Clone Wars sets. I find myself getting a bit tired of them to tell you the truth. There are so many un-made OT and non-CW PT sets the TLC could make. But, if not, I'll survive! Quote
ROCON Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I think a new cw General G is going to arrive this year because in 2005 and 2007 a Greivous came out. So every two years Lego reieases GG. Just a guess. :P Quote
ROCON Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) I Have to point this out, (breathes in deeply) remember when I said I was 50 50 on the Venator being real or not. Well I think I found a tie breaker. Head over the minifig custimization workshop and look at the senate guard by Bluebard and the background. Weren't those two colors of the Venator's background colors before it had a white more official look. Also, the senate colors look the same. I hope I didn't assume something bad and that the Venator dosen't end up like the dropship Darkrebelion mentioned. Edited January 9, 2009 by ROCON Quote
General Magma Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I think a new cw General G is going to arrive this year because in 2005 and 2007 a Greivous came out. So every two years Lego reieases GG. Just a guess. :P I don't think so, but it MIGHT be possible. May they ever make another Grievous, I hope they give him REAL eyes with colors. And he must be completely poseable, I have modified my General Grievous to make his legs move, his arms can rotate, and a custom cape - a minifig cape would be horrible on him, as my modded Grievous is pretty long!

rcpeck Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) edit: picture removed One more thing on the real or fake arguement, is it just me or is there both dark bley and old dark gray on the top of the hull? The 4x6 plate looks to be dark bley and the 2x6 plate that connects to it looks to be old dark gray. Edited January 10, 2009 by KimT Quote
ForceMaster Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 The "official" image - my image, processed in a Photoshop. Really. I wished to present, as it will look officially. I can tell you about second part sets, do you want to learn? Or The Penquin has told to you all?) Quote
