JimBee Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) Great find, Darth Dracus. This set looks really good to me now, nothing like that picture a few weeks ago (maybe the shot was just bad). The speeder looks good, and the minifgures are all cool (yes, even the pilot droid). Dooku comes with a hood and a hair piece, which is also a plus. New torso and head design, too, that both look good. I'm also pretty sure that the lightsaber hilt is chrome. EDIT: Whoops, I didn't notice TBB review... Edited January 11, 2009 by JimButcher Quote
Darth_Dracus Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Gracias. I'm just happy I found it before anyone else here. It changed my mind about the set. I forgot to mention TBB had a review also. And the hilt does look chrome. But I still can't help put feel they got lazy with the pilot droid. Quote
Darth Legolas Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 That's the same review as the one on brothers brick! Please, pay more attention. Anyways, I just had a thought. Are the Jet troopers going to have new packs, and also, will they have marked helmets like Denal? Quote

Are the Jet troopers going to have new packs, and also, will they have marked helmets like Denal? From what we know, there's probably not any markings, but hopefully that wil;l change. I hope that the new packs are not like the one from the CTT. That one looked like a butterfly to me. Quote
KimT Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 I found a review for Dooku's Solar Sailor on brickshelf. Gracias. I'm just happy I found it before anyone else here. It changed my mind about the set. I forgot to mention TBB had a review also. And the hilt does look chrome. But I still can't help put feel they got lazy with the pilot droid. That's the same review as the one on brothers brick! Please, pay more attention. Yeah it would be great to look through the new posts before posting what is already seen and known. It's getting kinda tiresome having the same posts (news/pics) 3 times a day in this thread. Please read back 3-4 pages before posting, that would reduce the double posting of news and pics a lot.

ADHO15 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I think this will probably be the Pirate Tank set (for those of you who don't/can't watch the Clone Wars series). I predict it will come with Jar Jar Binks, 1 or 2 clone troopers and 1 or 2 Weequay pirates. Maybe a pirate speeder bike too. Quote

Maybe a pirate speeder bike too. Well I have already said that, multiple times, but this is a much better picture. I wonder, if the weequay tank is huge enough, maybe it will have a detachable speeder like the swoop biker pirates. Exactly the same one as in the Republic Gunship, but with the Pirate's marking on them. It'd be perfect, and a Clone Wars Jar Jar! But who agrees, the second I get Jar Jar (if they make a CW version of him,) I'll change his ugy torso from the one with the purple tie to regular robes! Quote

I think if there is a bike it will be more like the one in 7113 Tusken Raider Encounter than the one in the RGS. Quote

ADHO15 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 These? Yeah. They're similar to this bike. Just a few changes on the front, back and colour and it would fit in well with the set. It could also be an excuse to throw another Weequay pirate in (one to pilot the tank and another to ride the bike). Quote

It could also be an excuse to throw another Weequay pirate in (one to pilot the tank and another to ride the bike). Hmmm... I don't know. I think maybe a fusion of the two. The old one looks a bit.. out of proportion and the new one is two tiny. I think that the could put a large attachment to the back of the RGS speeder, and change the front a little. Anyways, that's only IF there is a speeder. Since we're on the topic of the pirate tank, here're some random views of it: And a thanks to the original Clone Wars designers, who gave these pics to the public. Quote

And, back on topic, I wonder if the Pirate Tank will be mid-scale, or have the little interior big enough for two minifigs? Quote

Hopefully the same size as the Clone Wars TX-130 Fighter Tank (if that was it's name). If smaller it'll be ruined just like the Separatist Shuttle's microscale Quote
Skipper 24 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I hope it is a UCS. I love the tank design and TLC is running out of UCS sets so it is a possibility. Quote
KimT Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 I hope it is a UCS. I love the tank design and TLC is running out of UCS sets so it is a possibility. Erhm.... 10188 Death Star 2008 10186 General Grievous 2008 10179 Millenium Falcon 2007 ... We've been given one or two per year. And perhaps we should think of the Anniversary sets as UCS-replacements this year? Quote
ADHO15 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) I hope it is a UCS. I love the tank design and TLC is running out of UCS sets so it is a possibility. I don't. I don't go for UCS sets due to their price, size and lack of figs and playability. Also, I don't think it's an important enough vehicle to make into a UCS. Hopefully the same size as the Clone Wars TX-130 Fighter Tank (if that was it's name).If smaller it'll be ruined just like the Separatist Shuttle's microscale TX-130S Fighter Tank, actually... Only joking, but I do agree on the size. I don't think the shuttle will be to small. I hope at least. And, back on topic, I wonder if the Pirate Tank will be mid-scale, or have the little interior big enough for two minifigs? I don't think there will be much of an interior if any. It isn't shown in the series (from what I can remember). It'll probably just have space for one fig on the turret on top (and space in the back to store the speeder bike I hope comes with it but probably won't ). Edited January 11, 2009 by ADHO15 Quote
Darth Legolas Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Yes KimT, it's the TX-130S (Saber tank.) And as for Skipper 24, I can bet you my entire collection that it won't be UCS. (Don't take my word on that. ) They won't make a UCS of a ship that appeared two times in all of Star Wars history, let alone the Clone Wars only. Quote
Dark Brickz Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 the pirate tank looks kool but knowing tlc they give ya like to 2 pirates, jar jar and regular clone trooper in this set. it would be great if they could add make it 3 pirates, jar jar and 2 new clone troopers. p.s it would be great if they made Venator star destroyer UCS for the 10 year anniversary....

Who knows? They may give us one Pirate, or at least one pirate and Hondo, but I think we can all agree, Binx is needed in that set. And they're only doing 10 year anniversary OT sets. Not to mention the Venator is only 3 years old now. Maybe 2 and 11 months. Quote
Derek Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I very highly doubt that the Pirate Tank will be a UCS set. I'm sure they have many guidelines when they choose what UCS sets to produce, like how iconic it is to the franchise. I don't think that many adults (target buyers of UCS) will want to buy an expensive set of a vehicle featured in one episode of the Clone Wars. Quote
