Penitent Tangent Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) Yes. It's a TRU exclusive. It's NOT exclusive. Several places in the UK are already selling it, besides TRU. As for the mispelling of Kit Fisto, it's no different than Plo Koon having a green lightsaber in these newer pictures. They're prototype sets that aren't finished yet, they aren't going to go to the effort of checking small details like that, but they will be corrected before the final released version. I won't even bother mentioning the Aayla Secura again.. just remember, they're PRELIMINARY PICTURES that we shouldn't have even seen yet. Not finished sets.

sok117 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I'm sure some will be unhappy about this, but there was a discussion floating around a few pages back about the eyes in regards to the minifigs for the Landspeeder set, so I thought I'd post this picture, as it seems they have indeed been updated to the new pupil style. WHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! why did lego give luke a city head, that doesn't look a thing like the rebel from tatoonie that we have come to know and love. That is just a disgrace, to shame lego, to shame.

RileyC Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I dont really like how they changed Luke's face because his old one was fine. He looks really generic now especially his smile its very city. Quote
KimT Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 Do anyone except me think that new aayla secura doesn't really look like aayla secura??I really don't like it. Yo think they will change it?? That would be great!! why are they making anther ARC-170 fighter? plus in the pic for that, they misspelled kit fistos name. hahaha how could they write kitt fisto!?!?! they were probably drunk. anyway, is the landspeeder one of those hard to find sets or not????? What the ?! "Stay on target!" And remember this is NOT a chat, but a discussion forum. Quote
The Who Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 So, aside from the eyes, does Old Ben have a new face, or is it the same as on the Death Star and Falcon? Quote
Clone OPatra Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Ben's face looks about the same to me, besides for the eyes. Quote
thespurs200708 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 It's NOT exclusive. Several places in the UK are already selling it, besides TRU. Really, which stores? Quote
sith stalker Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 The mouth is also different, Ben is smiling in the landspeeder but not in the Death star and Falcon, same as Luke. Quote
Mission Commander Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Lego, why? The old faces are still in production and what is with Luke's face? That face is practicly the same one from imperial inspection! The CTT looks really nice, even the wheels. Quote

That face is practicly the same one from imperial inspection! The CTT looks really nice, even the wheels. Lego why what? What's with Luke's face? Imperial Inspection: This one? What's your point? Quote
sith stalker Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I think he means why lego changed Luke's face. I agree about the CTT, it's much better than the old version. Quote
Forresto Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Yes. It's a TRU exclusive. Here's a german new public catologue that has the 2010 lineup for the main themes. I'd suggest clicking up after looking at the picture so you can see the rest of the gallery. Link Based off this i'm pretty sure it's not an exclusive. Quote
lightningtiger Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 What's the problem with the heads, I like them except I think they should be double faced like Luke should have the smile one side and a shock look like when he found his aunt and uncle murdered by stormtroopers. I think they are trying to blend CW into mainstream Star Wars, as children are now use too the look of CW heads so the reissue/redesign/new EpI/II/III/IV/V/VI sets will not be (pardon the pun) alien to them. So if you don't like the new heads, then change them yourself ! I'll keep mine as they are when I get these sets, but thats just me. Quote

RileyC Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Yea im gonna keep the heads the same but its just weird they had to change them when they had great heads as it is. Quote
KimT Posted December 21, 2009 Author Posted December 21, 2009 Okay people, there's a topic for the new heads - go there to discuss them. Not here There's a topic for availability and exclusivity - go there instead of discussing it here. "Stay On Target!" So stop commenting on those subjects here. Quote
Zzz Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 If I remember correctly Lego surprised us almost every time with new keyrings and magnets. But what about it, didn't they come out in January usually? Any rumours about it? Quote
howl.bricks Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 This might be off-topic, but it seems that in the set 8092, the landspeeder has one different engine(the lower right) compared to the other two, and this flaw shows up even in the German(i think) catalogue. Click here for the catalogue Is this set released yet in stores? Getting back on topic with the keyrings and magnets, lego might release the new pilots(Rebel and Clone)as well as the Hoth Rebels as collectibes, but no rumors so far. Quote
JCC1004 Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) This might be off-topic, but it seems that in the set 8092, the landspeeder has one different engine(the lower right) compared to the other two,and this flaw shows up even in the German(i think) catalogue. One engine is supposed to be damaged. It's not an error. It was in ANH. It's movie accurate. See? Edited December 21, 2009 by JCC1004 Quote
commdr_neyo Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 ARGH! JCC1004, when you show that image, I start to think Lego just doesn't want to make the set look good by adding some SNOT, or atleast making the stripes nice and curved, as they should be No offence to you at all, btw. Quote
legoindy01 Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 One engine is supposed to be damaged. It's not an error. It was in ANH. It's movie accurate. See? Absolutly! The Sand people (tusken raiders) started taring the ship apart after one had knocked down luke. But the left engine is only as far as they could get before obi wan kenobi came along. I'm glad that lego went this screen accurate. Quote
ForceMaster Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I like all summer sets, especially Hoth Wampa Cave and CTT! Many new figures - damaged Vader, Aayla Secura, Cad Bane... And new Grievous iht printed head, legs and torso, of cource. ) By the way, Landspeeder's box photo (find on eBay.Com; picture is link to bigger pic) : Quote

Clone OPatra Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 The link doesn't work for me, just brings me to a red X and the windows working icon, you know those balls that go in a circle. I get those too, but if you go to ebay itself and type in the set number, it shows up with a few auctions with pictures. One person shows a back of the box picture too, showing the one feature of the set: storage underneath the middle engine. Quote
BlueDragonZ Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 The link doesn't work for me, just brings me to a red X and the windows working icon, you know those balls that go in a circle. Thats the same for me. Anyone know if the landspeeder is a limited edition or just a regular set? Quote
