KimT Posted January 6, 2010 Author Posted January 6, 2010 As far as I can tell, no. The only difference with Lego would be the figures included. I would kind of like one from Endor just because it would have some nice Endor figures. A bunch of troops to go with the 2 rebels from 8038 please. Perhaps we'll even battlepacks that are Endor themed? Rebel troops versus scout troopers But that's specualtion and wishful thinking and we'll have none of that here Quote
CommanderFox Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 As far as I can tell, no. The only difference with Lego would be the figures included. I would kind of like one from Endor just because it would have some nice Endor figures. Yes it would have some very nice figs! CommanderFox Quote
pugsx3 Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Very unlikely, Yoda is probably on the anniversary logo because a lot of people remember ESB as the movie Yoda was first seen. I would love a Dagobah set though, but that's something for the future sets topic.But let's get back ontopic I am 99.9 procent sure there aren't any differences between the Hoth and Endor At-at. So the only change we will see in the set are the minifigs. I hope it is a ROTJ set though, some scout troopers, Ewoks or rebel troopers are always welcome. Does anyone know if YODA is the Chrome figure this year ?? maybe in the green chrome that is my bet a green yoda in green chrome as the chase figure Quote
rockinkurt13 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Okay, I'm going to answer this one just to lessen the confusion. AT-AT: NOT UCS, biggish, and the difference is that another Hoth AT-AT would appear like the motorized one, which it is NOT. It would be very confusing for people, and sale lessening, for most owuld see just oh a hoth at-at, not getting that, but an ENDOR one shows a difference, which is good considering it is NOT motorized. And don't get set on a Yoda anytime before nest year.... (no, probably not going to be Dagobah though.) Quote
Aeturnus Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Nah, they haven't changed. Even if they had, you can't tell. In the snow trooper battle pack.. the officer has the traditional rounded shoulders but the other figures have square shoulders also in the rebel pack they all have square shoulders. I no ticed other of my starwars figures are like that. They have definately changed unfortunately. Wether it is just an alternate mold or a replacement im not sure. Figures have changed over the years subtly .The torsos are using less plastic..if you look inside the originals were just hollow but thick plastic..then over time there are a couple of versions. Also older figures had more transparent yellow hands. Anyone else noticed? I collect figures myself ..I have about 2500 The box design. There have been torsos like that since at least 2004. I don't know why. Both are used though. Probably. Why would they redesign it otherwise? I must look more carefully at my newer figures by the looks. Perhaps as Lego has outsourced manufacturing to various factories those factories have different molds. Quote

I'm sort of bamboozled why they would do an Endor AT-AT in the ESB anniversary year, but oh well, what the heck! It adds diversity! Any hints for what to expect about the potential Order 66 subtheme? That would be awesome! And for all those who are still talking about a Padme, I think Rockinhurt has cleared that up for us. EDIT: WHOA! I'm a citizen now!... When did that happen? Quote
SWMAN Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 A bunch of troops to go with the 2 rebels from 8038 please.Perhaps we'll even battlepacks that are Endor themed? Rebel troops versus scout troopers But that's specualtion and wishful thinking and we'll have none of that here I think the most we could hope for would be 1 Rebel Endor Trooper. The pattern is that Lego comes out with 2 Battlepacks a year, one from each side. And they rotate, one year doing the Clone Wars and the next the Original Trilogy. I have a feeling our 2011/12 Battlepacks will be Endor rebels vs. empire, considering first it was Rebel Fleet Troopers, then Hoth Troopers. Quote
sok117 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I think that if they make an Endor AT-AT in the anniversary year of ESB, a lot of fans will be really disappointed, because If by some random backwards chance then they make big ESB sets for the ROTJ anniversary, Lego might not have the liscence for that long, making a lot of Star Wars fans disappointed. Oh well. My other problem is, If the mysterious imperial shuttle does come with a whole docking bay thing like RokinKurt suggests, that id definatley not enough figures for a set that big Quote

And don't get set on a Yoda anytime before nest year.... (no, probably not going to be Dagobah though.) Yes no power functions! Its good that its not USC because that would bump up the price a bit and I probably wouldnt be able to afford it. Its nice that we are getting all these endor sets with the battle of endor and these rumoured endor AT AT and imperial base + imperial shuttle. Im not that worried about yoda but I would like to see him in 2011 in a PT or OT set and not clone wars. He is nice clone wars minifig but I would love to have him as PT or OT to have them side by side. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I think that if they make an Endor AT-AT in the anniversary year of ESB, a lot of fans will be really disappointed, because If by some random backwards chance then they make big ESB sets for the ROTJ anniversary, Lego might not have the liscence for that long, making a lot of Star Wars fans disappointed. Oh well. I wouldn't get so bummed, if I were you. Just because it's got Endor packaging and perhaps an Endor-tied figure or two doesn't mean you can't put it with your Hoth sets/diorama, and, now that Hoth figures can be cheaply attained in the battle packs, it's not such a problem that we wouldn't get a Hoth fig with the AT-AT. After all, I'd much rather get an Endor trooper who has only appeared in one large set than more Hoth troopers which I can get several of in a small set and have been featured in many different iterations in several passed sets. I don't think anyone's going to be dissapointed just because a large, nicely designed (hypothesizing here) AT-AT features a camo fig and a forest on the box. People like the LEGO SW sets I think because they want the models and figs, not to commemorate an anniversary. Yeah, anniversaries are nice, but it's whatever nice sets LEGO feels like making that really matter. Quote
RileyC Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 RockinKurt, I know this may seem a strange question but do you know anything about 2011's battlepacks? Its just been on my mind lately Quote
Darth Legolas Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Very unlikely, Yoda is probably on the anniversary logo because a lot of people remember ESB as the movie Yoda was first seen.

So the only change we will see in the set are the minifigs. I hope it is a ROTJ set though, some scout troopers, Ewoks or rebel troopers are always welcome. Well, no matter what the set will be new, as it will have an updated build to the 2003 one, but non-motorized. It's unlikekly to waste time on the difference. There was a huge update from the Hoth AT-ST to the Endor AT-ST, but AT-AT's have always been the saem, I think, The only difference were the Republic AT-AT's. We may see some Rebel's, but it seems this AT-AT is to go right in with the Imperial Base. Quote
cavegod Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 well as Rokinhurt says the sales would not be as good if a hoth packaged AT-AT was released so an atat in endor packaging would sell better, the only difference between the two types of atat is the minifigs, both atats are the same apart from the endor one has twigs and leaves on it as opposed to snow. so we get an atat for ESB aniversary.

TheBrickHitHouse Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Would Lego have 2 at at walkers out at the same time? That isn't consistent with their track record An endor one would be a clever marketing trick though Quote
pugsx3 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Would Lego have 2 at at walkers out at the same time? That isn't consistent with their track record An endor one would be a clever marketing trick though over at hasbro they are leaking that they will do a figure scale AT-AT just like the big falcon .I think hoth is the theme for the 30th anniversary I would love the lego cloud city set redone with 2 landing platforms on both sides 1 for the slave 1 and one for a newer falcon with a lando pilot uniform Quote

Perhaps as Lego has outsourced manufacturing to various factories those factories have different molds. I bought the imperial hoth bp today - all torsos were normal -but officers head is different than the one from indysets- although it looks like that on cover anyway all shoulders were normal little bit rounded- i would like to see pics of these strange shoulders? If they remade Cloud City, I doubt it would be $400, probably a more reasonable $120-$150 They had to do Ughnaughts for Cloud city this time! maybe like the old jabba's palace there could be some little sets and one big one with carbonite chamber- one could be chewie, scrap-pile with threepio and two ughnaughts- then another set with the antennae thing and walkway - maybe window too with Luke and Vader fighting- the classic "i am your father!"- scene just ideas Quote
The Who Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 the officer has the traditional rounded shoulders but the other figures have square shoulders also in the rebel pack they all have square shoulders.I no ticed other of my starwars figures are like that. ... Anyone else noticed? I collect figures myself ..I have about 2500 This has been going on for a few years, I think. I am pretty sure it is just an alternate mold, so they can make more torso's at the same time.Every set I have bought for a while has varied, so it is not a change, nothing new. Quote
The Legonater Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I don't get the hype about new shoulder. They all look Identical to me. Quote
Forresto Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Check the first post.I keep it updated with the most recent rumors and news. New stuff just fresh in during the past week or so is: 8099 Midi scale Star Destroyer 8128 AT-AT 8129 Cad Bane's Speeder Then there's rumors of 2 300XX numbered promotional polybags. Can't remember what they are, but it's all listed in the first post of the topic. Thanks KimT! That's very helpful. Quote
Darth Legolas Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I don't get the hype about new shoulder. They all look Identical to me. Once again, not new at all. I think I have some 2004 minifigs with square shoulders. It started in 2007 at the most, but very likely before then. I don't think we need to dwell on this subject. On Topic: What on Earth will Lego do if they somehow renew the Star Wars contract and it comes time fore the anniversary of ROTJ? They'll have nothing new to put out. This is really scary as it seems Lego is so sure Star Wars will be ending that they are planning to sell so much by 2011. Quote

It started in 2007 at the most, but very likely before then. I don't think we need to dwell on this subject.. But Minifigs don't HAVE shoulders! They have arms attached to their torsos, yes, but no shoulders! Quote
The Legonater Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 LinkThe swamp speeder is Clone Wars But we still haven't seen a Phase 2 in Clone Wars! Quote
sok117 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 May I remind you that this is not the topic to speculate over wanted sets but to discuss rumors or news of 2010 sets. Quote
Jar Jar Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Swamp Speeder is ROTS, that explains the figures. Quote
