xwingyoda Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Yeay hehe !! At least we can say bye to the previous horrible box art !! (I miss the OT special edition box cover !!) Maybe a return to the classics *y* EDIT: I was looking at the article Sam refered to and they showed the new SW product logo which is...well...as bad if not worse than the previous one !! You can check the article here !! And here is what the logo looks like: *yoda* Quote
dunamis Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 This was on SW.com:At next week's San Diego Comic-Con International, where Star Wars licensees such as Hasbro and LEGO plan to reveal some of their product lines for 2007, fans will get an eye-full of exciting new packaging designs that celebrate 30 years of Star Wars fandom. This means that if LEGO unveal 6212 and 10175 tonight as I predicted, then the 2007 sets maybe revealed tonight as well! Thanks for the info, SAM! I appreciate your efforts in getting us this info.

Deinonychus Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Boy I hope so...the suspense (and this 10 page thread) is killing me Quote
sam89 Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 It looks like my prediction was wrong then :-| I guess we'll have to wait until Comic-Con next Thursday. Quote
Dino_Bot Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 Ah! another chance to get an X-Wing since I...never got the one with Yoda's hovel...It had some great plant pieces. X-Wings aren't my favorite ships, but If I am going to accomplish what I'm trying to do, then, one X Wing would be indispensable for my fleet. Quote
Ras 74 Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 It looks like my prediction was wrong then :-| I guess we'll have to wait until Comic-Con next Thursday. Well Sam, being right with so many times in the past, I think the most of us can forgive you this time ;-) As you said, we probably have to wait until thursday. I really hope we will get to see some nice news coming in 2007. -Ras- Quote
xwingyoda Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 Sam, you know Lego, they changed their plans just to annoy you :-D :-P I still feel confident that some news will appear before the beginning of Comic-Con !! (G I don't want to wait till friday to get news that we know already X-D ) Lets all keep the faith my Lego brothers :-D *yoda* Quote
dunamis Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 No big deal, SAM. We can wait until Thursday... Quote
Legoman Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 No big deal, SAM. We can wait until Thursday... We can? *wacko* I can't :-P Quote
xwingyoda Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 Look at this pic taken from LSW2: You can clearly see that we cannot expect major changes to the upcomming X-Wing !! Okie that we already knew but seeing that pic makes it clearer hehe !! Only major change is the red !! *yoda* Quote
Deinonychus Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 There's no pilot... Perhaps it transforms into a robot? X-D Quote
snefroe Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 Look at this pic taken from LSW2: You can clearly see that we cannot expect major changes to the upcomming X-Wing !! Okie that we already knew but seeing that pic makes it clearer hehe !! Only major change is the red !! *yoda* but then, yoda, what were you expecting? a completely revised xwing? i don't think so... they're just trying to make more out of a set with a minimum of changes... that's just their way of doing things these days... :'-( Quote
xwingyoda Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Tks for the news but we already know that by now ;-) I'll lock this thread to avoid numerous threads on the same topic !! *yoda* Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Well, today's thursday. I hope we get pics today! Quote
mutley777 Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Well, today's thursday. I hope we get pics today! maybe not as it is star wars day tomorrow at comic-con Quote
sam89 Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Well they are showing plenty of SW stuff off at the moment, so we could be lucky ;-) Quote
xwingyoda Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Guys and Gals !! Browsing on FBTB I stumble accross that box art pic of the Xwing: the guy posting it assures its a true one (and not a fake) which can be possible ;-) So do take that pic as is and not as real news (at least until its confirmed ;-) ) Enjoy the baby ;-) *yoda* Quote
Steff Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 hmm.. i am a little bit disappointed.. its only a new x-wing.. i hoped, we get a little bit of bonus ;) maybe the figs are new.. and i hope that its cheaper than the old one ;) Quote
Vader Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Well its a good figs set for those who dont have those ones but the xwing just seems slightly different and wont make me rush out to buy it. Quote
xwingyoda Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 If we assume that box art is real, a lot of fans will be disappointed (or pissed more likely) because it seems that the Xwing is nearly the same as the previous version and fig selection is crap !! Sure we get a new Luke pilot + pilot in Flesh and Han BUT another R2, Chewie and Leia is the same as the Falcon redesign >:-( (that Leia gfig is truly ZE disappointment of the figs !!) Oh well !! we have to live with it !! I hope at least that the price will not be higher than the '06 Slave1 ;-) *yoda* Quote
sam89 Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 There are some minor differences, mainly the tan pieces on the front sectione have been replaced with grey ones. One person reckons Leia may hve some new hair (not the buns), but that seems doubtful. EDIT: Also, Han has brown legs instead of tan, and it appears that the wings have a white and red striped pattern on them, probably made from tiles, rather than one big printed tile piece. Quote
Christian Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Guys and Gals !!Browsing on FBTB I stumble accross that box art pic of the Xwing: the guy posting it assures its a true one (and not a fake) which can be possible ;-) So do take that pic as is and not as real news (at least until its confirmed ;-) ) Enjoy the baby ;-) *yoda* Great find! It is a shame that it is the same one as the 2004 version, or atleast it looks to be the same one. Im most likely not gonna buy it if it does'nt come with anything extra, that is not shown in that picture. Quote
snefroe Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 ok... let's assume that this is the real thing... for now unless this is seriously cheap, it looks like a rip off to me. Most sw fans already have this xwing and i really wonder who's going to buy this set for brown legs of Han solo or another head piece for leia... i don't mind Lego taking as much out of a set/model as possible, but they should at least show some respect to all these fans out there who are spending lots of money to get a complete collection. Quote
Vader Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Sets like these show how desprate lego is to rip us off, now i know new figs cost alot to make but surely lego could of included a few different pilots instead of yet more hans, leia,s and bloody r2's!!! Quote
