Millacol88 Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 My order is still in Kansas... That sucks. My order shipped out from a town about five hours away from me, hence the speedy shipping. Quote
ILikePi Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Well, my order arrived two days ago, but the bad thing was that the two Public Works sets were pretty badly smashed and the General Grievous set was a bit smashed on the top. I finished the build in one day (about five hours). The poster is amazingly huge. The back shows the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary, except that the battle-damaged Darth Vader has been replaced with a chrome black Darth Vader. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 The back shows the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary, except that the battle-damaged Darth Vader has been replaced with a chrome black Darth Vader. That's good news! The chrome Vader is a much better choice for a cover. Did it happen to show the exclusive minifigure? Quote
ILikePi Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 That's good news! The chrome Vader is a much better choice for a cover. Did it happen to show the exclusive minifigure? Sadly, no. The minifigure picture is still preliminary. Quote
Oky Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I received my poster rather quickly as well, and although most of the big box was filled with airbags, the poster was bent. However, the box of the Clone BP was fine. The poster is 23x31 inches. I don't think the Vader on the dictionary cover art is the chrome version, just a very shiny DS-style one. Plus, the Wookiee warrior labeled "Chewbacca" is gone now. And yes, the exclusive minifig pic is the same as the one on the cover art in the 2009 News Topic - prelim. Quote
ILikePi Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Oh, and by the way, the back of the poster also said that the book is going to be available in LEGO Stores and LEGO Shop@Home, as well as places like book stores and Amazon. I don't think the Vader on the dictionary cover art is the chrome version, just a very shiny DS-style one. Are you sure? I just took a look at it again, and it looks like a chrome Darth Vader to me. I'll post a picture of it for everyone to see... EDIT: Here they are... Sorry about the blurriness of these pictures, but it's dark, which means that it's almost impossible to get a good picture. Also note that the advertisement for the visual dictionary is only on one-eighth of the back of the poster. Edited May 14, 2009 by ILikePi Quote
starstreak Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I got my poster seperate from my UCS MF. Came in a padded envelope. #5k something. At least it was "normal" poster size, not like the poster that came in that other SW Lego set from TRU. Quote
I Scream Clone Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Looks like a normal Vader minifig to me ILikePi Here is the Amazon link too for those interested Quote
Millacol88 Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 ISC, the picture you posted has been changed. Its no longer a battle-damaged vader, we're just not sure if its chrome or not. Quote
ADHO15 Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Good find, ILikePi. The book looks good and I'd say that was a chrome Vader on the front, or a polished regular one. Can I just ask why we're discussing the book in this thread when it is due to be released in September, not as a May exclusive? Quote
I Scream Clone Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 ISC, the picture you posted has been changed. Its no longer a battle-damaged vader, we're just not sure if its chrome or not. So it has, my bad Cool, still want this book though. Quote
starstreak Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Here's my # for my poster. Btw, you can visit that photo here to see the full size and to see the cover of the book better. Quote
Millacol88 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 So it has, my bad Cool, still want this book though. So do I. Especially that exclusive figure, whatever it may be. Quote
ILikePi Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 You guys just watch...if they don't change that minifig on the cover, I'm 100% sure that it's going to be a chrome Darth Vader. Quote
Millacol88 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 You guys just watch...if they don't change that minifig on the cover, I'm 100% sure that it's going to be a chrome Darth Vader. I don't think so. There isn't a chance in pi. Quote
The Who Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 You guys just watch...if they don't change that minifig on the cover, I'm 100% sure that it's going to be a chrome Darth Vader. But we want the actual minifig, not the 'included' one that just happens to be (only) printed on the cover. Quote
Toth Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I hardly found a high resolution Poster myself since Lego asked to take it out from Flirck. I finally found this link: http://www.downloadmunkey.net/2009/05/rand...edition-poster/ the pic is in the link "this link" (5.2 MB zipped). Very nice resolution of 6866 x 9000 At last we can appreciate the minis beauty! :) For those people who didn't have luck to have this poster, you can enjoy having a look at all the minis in another way than looking at the low resolution little pic Lego has let on the web. Better to put nothing than teasing people stupidly! ;) Quote
KimT Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 This is the same as the one we've already seen in the topic about this special release on the 3-4 of May. Also the high resolution picture is linked in both the pinned news topics. This topic And this news topic Quote
Toth Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 I didn't see it. The worst is that I searched at this high resolution poster for a long time without finding. And even worst is that I looked at this second link you posted... Maybe cause the topics ot too much infos inside for a single thread... Better to separate a little imo But maybe it's only me. I don't have time to pass long hours to read the thread so I just pass fast over them and try to find what i really search. Sorry to open an unusefull topic. Maybe it will be usefull one for guys like me?! :D Quote
KimT Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 No problem The difficulties in finding news within the news topic is the reason that I keep the first post updated with pics and info. It's also the reason that there is a closed news topic that contains only news and no chit-chat. Quote
