OneSnowTrooper Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Yep Cad Bane for the minifigs (well for me specifically for the Senate Commando & Captain). Got 2 from the Venator set and bought 6 from bricklink when they where still reasonable priced. Need them for a MOC. Quote
backbone Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 First copy of Shuttle arrived yesterday to dmac :) Soon, he will publish some photos, and i suppose comparison with his shuttle moc. Quote

Brickdoctor Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 I personally like the speeder set and will be making a purchase. I mean it is a different set than what we usually get from Lego as far as Star Wars goes. Besides, it is a cheaper alternative to get Commandos and Cad Bane as opposed to the Venator and Turbo Tank. Only if you can bring yourself to want them. Quote
GRogall Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Pictures of the new Star Wars sets in High-res All pictures link to HR versions 2880x1801 pxl. Enjoy! :classic: Quote
BrickClick Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Thank you sooooooo much Grogall! The ISD is looking much better (Are the light bley binoculars new?, And what piece is used for the sheild generator thingys on top of the bridge?) And I am just lovin Cad Banes speeder! I just watched Hostage Crisis yesterday and this is actually pretty acurate oh and gotta love Jayfon! Thanks again! Quote
prateek Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Oh, very nice pics! I like them a lot. The ISD looks way more detailed than the Midi Falcon, and I want that AT-AT now! Quote
Legoman Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Wow, That AT-AT is a joke. Difinately passing on all those three (might pick up the speeder if I see it cheap). Oh well, At least I'll have money for those addictive Bricklink orders! And the Shuttle and Wampa Cave Quote
KimT Posted June 25, 2010 Author Posted June 25, 2010 Wow, That AT-AT is a joke. Why? It looks like an AT-AT to me. What did you expect? A UCS AT-AT with 800 parts? Quote
GRogall Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Why? It looks like an AT-AT to me. What did you expect? A UCS AT-AT with 800 parts? Well actually i hear this is being considered, but I'm sure you also mean 8000 parts Quote
Legoman Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) Why? It looks like an AT-AT to me. What did you expect? A UCS AT-AT with 800 parts? Well, at least in my opinion. Sure it looks a bit like an AT-AT, but considering other versions, this seems like quite s step backward. 4483 (original AT-AT) was an incredible set, perfect on almost every level, a true stunner. Then they released 10178 (motorised AT-AT) Which lacked a few things, and the plates all around the outside didn't look right, but that was accepted due to the fact it was needed to make room for the motor. But this one is just as wrong, with nothing to show for it. Unless it's supposed to be an anarexic AT-AT? Thats just my opinion though, I know others will differ Edited June 25, 2010 by Legoman Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Thanks 'grogall' for these new pictures - the ISD - meh ! - Cad Bane speeder - YES !!!! But tell me if I'm seeing things but has the cab of the AT-AT gotten smaller or not ? I could be wrong ! Anyway, now I really can't wait for good old Bane to be available in August or earlier at Target since they have a giant toy sale at the end of July ! I'm a conformist! everyone ! Quote

Anyway, now I really can't wait for good old Bane to be available in August or earlier at Target since they have a giant toy sale at the end of July ! I'm a conformist! everyone ! I thought the cockpit looked smaller too! The printed cockpit part also looks like a sticker as well. Really not impressed with this set and i am pretty sure the price tag will be more than the 4483 AT-AT which was £90. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Nice. Very nice. The ISD looks much better now; I'm eyeing those light bley Technic balls [for sockets]; don't have any myself and want them to make an Ep. II mini LAAT/i. Cad Bane's speeder itself is very sleek, but I don't like the very obvious CIS color scheme or the minifigs. If they made us a lime green Ep. I version with a trap door to drop an included Jar-Jar minifig into the Coruscant underworld, then I'd be happy. The AT-AT is starting to look enticing. It's scary. Quote
Aeroeza Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Well actually i hear this is being considered, but I'm sure you also mean 8000 parts ... are you privy to some insider information? Or just gently flirting with me? (You tease)! Quote
Brickus Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Great pics Grogall thanks. I can't wait for that AT-AT. Quote
LoRd AmUnRa Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 the new at-at looks like a baby at-at lol -> fail Quote
The Legonater Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 I agree, this is the best way to get Cad Bane and the Senate Commandos without getting those expensive sets. I think most people, myself included, will buy this set solely for the minifigs. This is like the Swamp Speeder set, which people bought just for Barriss. But what might tick-off people is if ever TLG decides to release Bane and the Commandos in a magnet set, this set will become irrelevant. Ya, I'm definitly buying this for figs. Although the speeder's nice, who's gonna buy something with shooting headlights ? Quote
Legoman Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Anorexic That ^ (not that that's really worthy of a post ) Seriously though, I think this is the worst set this year. Even the figure selection is poor Ah well, It's still Lego, I guess they'll manage to sell them anyway. Are there any further Romours about Cloud city or anything? I've kinda left this thread in It's tracks for a while due to the Threadcrapping that goes on. Quote
RileyC Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 All those sets look really nice thanks Grogall So it looks like Han is also getting a new face, interesting. Does it looks like C3PO has printing in his eye sockets to you guys? Its good that there looks to be only one sticker on the AT AT. It does look like Cad's speeder looks smaller but Im pretty sure its just the angle that the pictures was taken. Quote

The Legonater Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 Eh, I think that the Freeco Speeder was worse. I loved the freeco speeder Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 Thanks Grogall for the hi-res pics! Now I definitely appreciate more the sets upon seeing them clearly. Bane's speeder ain't that bad at all, actually I do like it as it highly resembles the real vehicle, and you could fit several bounty hunters in it. Plus, it gives you room to make a MOC of the 'trailer' for Ziro and recreate the Hostage Crisis scene. (I can now imagine Ziro made out of the Jabba fig with a li'l bit of custom paint, lovely!)

Enilder Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 the new at-at looks like a baby at-at lol -> fail +1. fail imo. Quote
