Delta 38 Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 It's a V-Wing pilot. Oh, that's right! I remember now. Yes, I remember seeing them in the V-Wing set, too. I keep on seeing them as just "Clone Pilots" everywhere, so I got a bit confused. Totally cleared up now. =) About the new torso, I'm not very sure. I haven't got an Ahsoka minifigure yet, so I can't see any differences so far. Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 I sensed this topic getting a bit off track, but it looks to have returned. Do remember though, this is a toy aimed at kids, not hormonally charged teenagers! And Darth Legolas, take it easy. Actually, if they did change the torsos (and I'm not saying they will or have), it would constitute a new minifigure, and since kids love the minifigures, then it would be a brilliant move for LEGO. So to say "No, not really" in a thread which is all about speculation, rumors, and gossip...seems a little too much. Quote
Swash Buckler Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Man did I open a can of worms here ! It least it gives something differnent to post about, aw well.......enough about the torso, lets say why she is in CW and not ROTS ? What happens to her (Ahsoka) that is ? Does she leave the Jedi order, sent away to one day meant to come back to save the day and never does or does she meet a sad ending ? What ever important or interesting episodes somehow end up as sets, like the Pirate Tank and Freeco Speeder, so 2011 will contain what ? Are we going to get a surpise tossed our way from either SW or CW, like the Tantive IV was last year ? Good questions eh ? I'm a conformist! ! Well i must say these "stay on topic" discussions are irritating- just when we came up with interesting topic (hey hey hey that is not the one before - let's stop this odd discussion about Ahsoka's physical appearance ) but what comes to the surprise sets Swamp Speeder was one so may be that no more surprises in 2010- but non-burn Vader and 501st from the ROTS would be nice ....and that long-awaited Padmé? Where is she? Quote
Penitent Tangent Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 I did say that she did have new clothes and I have been trying to find a picture all along and this is it! She only wore it in the first two episodes I think. This was just a space suit, minus the helmet. She wore it because they were out in space for a little bit.. But this is along the lines what I was talking about before, I think it'd be nice to see more of these different cotumes getting used. We've already seen Anakin in his snow gear, so I'd like to see things like that continue. Just to keep it fresh if they're going to be used in multiple sets each year. Quote

I meant to say that she wasn't wearing different clothes on the CTT, not that there's no chance of the torso changing. But since the discussion on Ahsoka can't be resolved until we get better pictures, does anyone know any more about the "Cad Bane's Speeder?" Edited January 22, 2010 by Darth Legolas Quote
-JD- Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 If there is an ARF trooper in the CTT, maybe LEGO will add markings to a Scout Troopers helmet? They look nearly the same IMO. I wonder if we'll get any Senators in Cad Bane's Speeder? I would love to see this guy: Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 I have seen nothing regarding Cad Bane's Speeder as of yet. There is a ton of potentail for figures in that set though. Kind of exciting! Quote

Actually one character has been forgotten and may have to be considered......Bail Prestor Organa... who is also in that episode with Padme too. But if we are getting Bane's speeder, I feel a tow barge with a particular Hutt might be more the case ! Quote

Ras 74 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Aurra Sing would be really sweet to get for sure. I had hopes that she would be more in CW really. Maybe she will and will make it into a LEGO fig. Guess we just have to wait and see. Quote
ILikePi Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) If Cad Bane's Speeder is going to be the one in Hostage Crisis, I really hope that the set comes with a commando droid or two. They're made lots of appearances in the TV series, and I would be so happy if they were made (and kids who watch the series will want them as minifigs because of how awesome they are )! I really hope that we will get a tactical droid in this year's sets, too (we're getting a medical droid, so why not a tactical droid? )! Edited January 23, 2010 by ILikePi Quote
midiscale33 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 :sceptic:Yeah, I don't think lego is going to make a tactical droid. It's too hard(thats what she said). . But it is very likely that there will be a commando droid, as for the cad bane speeder, I personally want a Aurra Sing, Shahana Alama, Roboino, and commandos. And is it just me, or am I the only one who's not concerned with Ahsoka's b***s . Quote

Maybe some commandos -droids or senate guys since there is no commandodroids anywhere and senate commandos only in that huge -but poorly designed- very expensive- Venator I am concerned about Ahsoka's fate more than her...- well you know...

cagri Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I don't know if this is old news but I was talking to some AFOL from US the other day. He said he asked his local LEGO store about 2010 2nd half set prices. Here's what he told me: 8095 General Grievous' Starfighter $59.99 8097 Slave I $79.99 8098 clone Turbo Tank $119.99 I would like to note that this information has nothing to with ambassadorial duties, I found this out in a chit chat and it may not be true.

While the Slave I and CTT sound accurate, Grievous' Starfighter sounds a little high. While it appear to be much bigger than the old one and includes a new figure design for Grievous, it only includes three figures total and doesn't really look to be worth $60. Don't mean to price rant. Just wanted to put my two cents in. Quote

Don't mean to price rant. Just wanted to put my two cents in. I totally agree with you. I'm willing to go for the CTT (because it looks great) and the Slave I (just because)... If Lego is going to charge that much for the ship, I have to say, if Lego doesn't fix that cockpit I hope absolutely nobody will buy it. Perhaps an accurate ship will be okay, but if they haven't updated the cockpit by the next picture we get, I will honestly... well I don't know what but the ship looks like... bad! The cockpit shoot look like a larger, more paneled/squareish but not square version of the old cockpit. The thing they have right now wouldn't be a bad piece, but it just doesn't work, at all. It should be shorter and much longer... the whole thing has to go. That thing is really ticking me off! Anyway, enough about the cockpit. I'm estimating the CTT will have about 860+ pieces, right? And then the Slave I will be about 600+ pieces. I don't know how big Cad Bane's speeder will be, and I'm clueless about the whole AT-AT and giant Endor set up... all we have as proof are a set number and minifigs, and I still think the AT-AT might be Hoth and the whole Endor idea isn't real... Perhaps the midi-scale Star Destroyer will have some play feature where you can pull a knob and open a hatch to release studs representing probe droid pods. That would be great. A midi Star Destroyer would be a bit bigger than you think, and the midi Falcon has plenty of room in its front for something to have been in there. (I use it to hide my extra Han Solos.)

Navy Trooper Fenson Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) If Cad Bane's Speeder is going to be the one in Hostage Crisis, I really hope that the set comes with a commando droid or two. I can already picture the box with the Coruscant taxi coming from the left and in the down right corner one or two senate commandos staring at the vehicle. Commando Droids would be really great. Maybe two of them, Cad Bane, an IG-86 and the Weequay. With this figures the set will probably be finally an exclusive set that´s probably worth it. I think a Lego 3 eyed Gran is long overdue, whether it be this guy or someone else.

Penitent Tangent Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Without trying to play mod.. none of these price discussions should be here, there's a seperate topic for that stuff. Having it here just clutters the discussion. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19837 Quote

I am sorry Darth Legolas but the cockpit is probably already being mass produced, I don't think the cockpit is going to change, this is what we get. But we can always hope. Remember when we were all happy that we could get a cheap Mon calamari head? Well after those prices, I think that that assumption is just a myth. Quote
The Legonater Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Ironic, I was about to qute it before I saw you already had. Those comics are simply increadable. I still like the escape pod ones. Quote
BlueDragonZ Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Are you sure that he was talking about dollars, not euros? I think I mention the prices from conversions of the euro prices. The prices you got were very similar to the prices I estimated. Now if only i can find where i post this.. Quote
Cloney Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Kim T, can I recommend that you replace this image with the other wampa cave images on the first post. I think this one looks much better although it's a little bit blurry. The other picture is a little jumbled up. Edited January 24, 2010 by Cloney Quote
