Skyward72 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Here is also a link to it's TRU product page, where the price shows as $59.99 USD. However, TRU does sometimes push their price up after just a few days, and it's "out of stock" anyway. This could be a good sign for SW out in the US before Christmas, but let's take that discussion to the Availability thread and concentrate on pics here. I saw the Arc today and the price was $64.99 at TRU. I can confirm that both pilots have the same torso as well. Quote
Fumoffu Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) My Lego magazine arrived today with the 2010 catalogue. The interesting thing for me is the Republic Swarm Speeder (set 8091). I'm not sure I seen this one mentioned yet and I apologise if it had been mentioned. I tried searching but the search didn't come up with anything. Now I just need to find a scanner so that I can scan a better photo of it. It comes with a SBD, 2 BD, a Phase 2 Clone and a Jedi that I don't know. Edited December 11, 2009 by Fumoffu Quote

(I can't remember name) Quote
nintha Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Wow, the Republic Swarm Speeder is amazing and with a new jedi . Fumoffu, does the ep.3 clone have a new helmet? One thing is that it is on tatoinne(sp?) but it is a Swarm Speeder , oh well I am going to be out of next year with all the amazing sets . Edited December 11, 2009 by nintha Quote
Jar Jar Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Interesting, I thought that was Bariss too! Any ideas KimT and Ras? It might be a 2010 set we weren't expecting, besides, we are not 100% sure about the 2010 Summer sets anyways... Edited December 11, 2009 by Jar Jar Quote
Mission Commander Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 From what I can see the helmet looks new. When I saw this I said FAKE! The background is Mos Eisly and the jedi is yellow! Now that people mention Barris it seems more realistic. BTW what else was in the catalog? Quote
Nightshroud99 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Cool! If thats Bariss Olee then it'd be even cooler! Quote
CloneCommanderDelta7 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) That swamp speeder has a stormtrooper in it. Sorry if someone said it already but I'm mighty tired from my ride. Looking good, it is! BTW Fumoffu, if you select the flower button on your camera it will take better pics of closer images. Also make sure there is enough natural light. Your probably a pro at taking pictures (or maybe just at least able, I don't know) but I'll say it anyway. Edited December 11, 2009 by CloneCommanderDelta7 Quote
YG-49 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Cool! The pilot *is* Zev Senesca! Also it seems that it doesn't have Bren Derlin, they just call him a Hoth Officer. Why have the pilot be named, but Bren not? All the new torsos look AMAZING too. Quote
ILikePi Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) A Boba with printed arms and would be cool but Im just happy about getting him in the first place. I've got the Home one Lando but I so want him in his blue cloud city outfitEDIT: Skyward has just posted in the star wars sets anyone? topic (linky) that he put up photos of the battle packs and freeco speeder on his flickr (flicky linky). They look incredible! Im so going to check my local toy stores to see if they have them in stock tomorrow! Thanks heaps Skyward! Here is a new very high-res ARC pic, reported on FBTB, with no watermark either. Enjoy, I'm pretty sure we've not seen it here before.*snip* (pic is link to the very high-res page on Flickr.) I'm not surprised that Kit does have the proper sand green hands, but I am a bit surprised that both Clones have the same torso, unlike in a picture where Jag had a new torso. Could this also not be the completely finalized version, or is the box just screwed up and the minifigure will have a different torso (it's happened before with boxart problems)? Only time will tell, I suppose. My Lego magazine arrived today with the 2010 catalogue. The interesting thing for me is the Republic Swarm Speeder (set 8091). I'm not sure I seen this one mentioned yet and I apologise if it had been mentioned. I tried searching but the search didn't come up with anything.*snip* Now I just need to find a scanner so that I can scan a better photo of it. It comes with a SBD, 2 BD, a Phase 2 Clone and a Jedi that I don't know. Wow, lots of interesting finds/pictures surfaced when my internet was down for a couple of hours! Skyward's finds Ooh, great finds! The battle packs look even better now, but I think it's odd how TLG actually decided to give one of the rebels a name for the first time (Zev Senesca). I like how 8085 Freeco Speeder has a hidden storage space with crate where you can store the electrobinoculars and Anakin's lightsaber! Unfortunately it looks like TRU has priced the sets over MSRP though (Skyward's post says that the battle packs were $13 USD instead of $11, Freeco and Tri-Fighter were $30 instead of $25, TIE Defender was $55 instead of $50, and ARC-170 was $65 instead of $60). ARC-170 Looks as great as ever, but I won't be buying it since it still seems a bit expensive (and there's the new LEGO Toy Story theme, so I'll have to conserve my 2010 budget). Thanks for posting the pic here though, Clone O' Patra! Republic Swarm Speeder Hmm, I'm not sure if this is an actual upcoming set or not. It looks pretty real because of the printed/stickered bricks at the front (the old swamp speeder has different sized bricks, too), as well as the printed/stickered engine piece. I'm just going to wait for clearer pictures before commenting further... Edited December 11, 2009 by ILikePi Quote
Cloney Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) I think the battle droid on the right for the Republic Swarm Speeder is actually a b.d.commander. It seems more yellowish. Edited December 11, 2009 by Cloney Quote
the lead general Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 It is yellowish and probably is a commander. I'll take some better pictures when mine arrives in the next few days. The SBD has no rocket arms, I wonder why? Quote
RileyC Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Thanks Fumoffu! (even though you just made me want another set which means I need more money ) The jedi does look like Barriss Offee and she does wield a blue lightsabre so I think that is her. The second phase clone looks pretty good and seems to have a new helmet but the same torso as the phase 1 clones. EDIT: Unlike Pi I reckon it is real because I can trust Fumoffu and it seems like a few people have the new catalogue. Edited December 11, 2009 by Roncanator Quote
DarthSion Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Who is the captain Jagg?. The arc looks cool, too bad it doesn't come with a gunner. Quote
KimT Posted December 11, 2009 Author Posted December 11, 2009 Here is a new very high-res ARC pic, reported on FBTB, with no watermark either. Enjoy, I'm pretty sure we've not seen it here before. (pic is link to the very high-res page on Flickr.) Thanks. I've added the picture to the 2010 Star Wars Gallery My Lego magazine arrived today with the 2010 catalogue. The interesting thing for me is the Republic Swarm Speeder (set 8091). I'm not sure I seen this one mentioned yet and I apologise if it had been mentioned. I tried searching but the search didn't come up with anything. Now I just need to find a scanner so that I can scan a better photo of it. It comes with a SBD, 2 BD, a Phase 2 Clone and a Jedi that I don't know. Frontpaged and added to the index and Star Wars 2010 Gallery. Thanks for sharing. Now why didn't I know about this one? Quote
Ras 74 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Great finds everyone and good pictures! So there might be a mix-up with Barriss. The picture of the Swamp Speeder looks very much as a prelim to me. But I have no doubts it is real. Might be in that set Barriss is in. Few seconds - Lots to remember Quote
Oky Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Look! It's a Garindan! Seriously though: Really? "Swarm" Speeder? Are you sure it's not "Swamp Speeder"? Anyway, judging from the two stars, It seems to be an exclusive, but I'll definitely try to get one! Looking forward to that scan! Edited December 11, 2009 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote

DarthSion Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Is that Luminara in the swarmer thing?. Quote
CommanderFox Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Is that Luminara in the swarmer thing?. I think it's Luminara or Barriss. CommanderFox Quote
Oky Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 No. If anything, that's Barris. Look at the lightsaber. It's blue. And that head piece looks a lot like a hood. It would be strange though if a set with Barris would come with a Phase 2 trooper. Is this perhaps a preliminarity issue? Or maybe just part of TLC's weird urge to re-release Ep.3 sets? Who knows.

Ras 74 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Seriously though: Really? "Swarm" Speeder? Are you sure it's not "Swamp Speeder"? What are you Swarming about? Get back on topic!! Quote
mania3 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Very cool. I was skeptical like a lot of the members here when I first saw this, but I'll take KimT's lack of skepticism as a good point towards the likelihood of this set. Still two months until the Toy Fair, and I'm really itching to see some of the surprises we have coming up in 2010. Thanks for sharing this with us. Quote

I can't wait to see some pics from Toy Fair! I think TLC are doing afew ROTS sets this year as it is the fifth anniversary. We have the ARC, the Tri fighter and now we get this Swarm speeder! I am loving next years sets! CommanderFox Quote
