Klaus-Dieter Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Thank you very much for these links to the pics, ForceMaster! The new AT-AT Driver looks great! If TLG does in the final version of the Snowtroopers BP again take the regular common Imperial Officer suit and pass it of as an Imperial Commander I'll be getting really angry! For what do we need a new styled helmet for the AT-AT Driver (the old one was really ok) but we do not get a single new officer torso?! Klaus-Dieter Quote
RoryoCox Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 The pictures are really good. Where did you find them? Can't wait to buy a couple of those battlepacks. The new helmet looks good but as said above the proportions are all wrong. Quote
Ras 74 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Thanks for the pics ForceMaster. I really hope that the AT-AT helmet we just saw is some whatever prelim. It is just hidious in my opinon. Big and clumpsy, and looks worse then if my daughter would paint it. Quote
ForceMaster Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Burman, it's my pictures from Russian Fest. Ras, I think it's not prelim helmet... You don't like him?) Quote
JCC1004 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Thanks for the pics. Lego said they needed to cut back on new moulds. The Hoth Trooper's were not needed and this is even worse. It's way to big and looks awful. I hope they replace the light gray helemt wth a dark gray one. The opposite colors on the AT-ST driver look good but this, no. He looks like a dofus! Quote
Ras 74 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Ras, I think it's not prelim helmet... You don't like him?)No I don´t.What if all helmets will be this supersized once from now on. Would you guys really like that? Hope this is not how it will look at all :( Quote
Darth Legolas Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) If Lego changed it back to dark bley I'd appreciate it. But hell, that new helmet is making me spazz out for the AT-AT driver! I didn't even care but I love that new mold! It looks kind of stupid, but I really love it! I also owe some people an apology, judging by this final picture, the Tri-Fighter looks pretty good! Still not much difference, but I love the use of the Rogue Shadow cockpit as the new spheres. Oh, and new plan everyone! Whenever someone starts talking about Garinan again, just ignore them! The argument is severely pointless until we get a better picture! The way I hate the Tri-Fighter. With a better picture, I liek it now! Still won't get it, but I'm nto screaming about any new minifigs! Thanks for you pics, Forcemaster! If only the convention had the landspeeder set so this topic could have half as many posts! EDIT: Huge realization everyone! That AT-AT pilot helmet is the same new pilot helmet in the TIE Defender!

The new helmet looks good but as said above the proportions are all wrong. I wonder if it is just a preliminary photo and that's the design for the new helmet but the proportions were just for the artist. I can only pray. It wouldn't make any sense otheriwse. 10 years with the same helemet size then a random change. Quote

Actually, if you look at a picture of any Imp pilot, they have hugely oversized helmets. Once again, it may look weird here but it's just perfect for the new TIE Defender pilot. Quote
darkrebellion Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 That new helmet looks amazing , I really love it, it may look a bit big but way better than the old one . Quote
TheBrickHitHouse Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 The Tri Fighter is almost identical to the last one... ...but atleast the battlepack has a proper speederbike - battlepacks have always had some crappy mini vehicle, glad they have done it properly Quote
Oky Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Calm down, guys, I'm pretty sure that the helmet is a prototype. All the new prints and molds at that convention were decals and prototypes. It will probably be smaller and better printed in the final product. I like how it looks, and it will probably make for a great TIE Defender pilot helmet as well. But even though it also looks like the Phase 2 clone pilot helmet, I don't think it is the kind of helmet used in the ARC-170 because those seem to have open faces (as they should). Quote
CaptainRex110 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I absolutely love the new helmet! There is so much detail! Also, why are all of these pictures being deleted from BRickshelf? Quote

I don't understand. Compare these two: Aside from the blurriness and the cheap plastic, the new helmet is IDENTICAL two the real one. It's perfect! It even has the red spot in the mouth and two the left of the black thingie! Even the blue and red spots at the bottom! It's perfect! Quote
Forresto Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I think the helmet seems a bit oversized but if you see videos of prelim molds they are always somewhat oversized. For example this videoshows the process they made Admiral Ackbar's head. I personally love that the new helmet is more detailed. Quote
Oky Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I don't understand. Compare these two: >SNIP< Aside from the blurriness and the cheap plastic, the new helmet is IDENTICAL two the real one. It's perfect! It even has the red spot in the mouth and two the left of the black thingie! Even the blue and red spots at the bottom! It's perfect! I know that. That's why I like it so much. Others however argue that the helmet looks too big in proportion to the rest of the fig, and I am saying that that is probably due to it being a prototype. Or maybe it's just the angle of the photo. When you look down on a current stormie fig, its helmet looks a bit big as well. Either way, I'm sure it'll look awesome in the end. Quote
Faramir Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Although the helmet looks large, I think it's just the camera angle. Every minifig shot I've seen from this show has been from the same angle, and each one looks oversized. If you look at the size of the head inside the helmet (On figs like the new Space Police one) you'll see that the head looks large too. I doubt this'll be any bigger than the stormtrooper helmet we have now... Quote
The Nightwing Reborn Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 No I don´t.What if all helmets will be this supersized once from now on. Would you guys really like that? Hope this is not how it will look at all :( Don't worry Ras, the AT-AT driver's helmet is larger than an average Storm Trooper's, so they should remain unchanged. This year looks like it will be great for new pieces, recolors, and some great set remakes. I personally love the Tri-Fighter . Quote
ILikePi Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 The Tri-Fighter and Snowtroopers Battle Pack are looking great! I'm not too fond on the size of the AT-AT pilot's helmet, but it looks really detailed. However, based on ForceMaster's picture, I like the old helmet more. The old helmet was the main reason why I liked the LEGO version of the AT-AT pilot so much... Quote
CloneCommanderDelta7 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 That helmet is awesome! I think that battlepack will be the first set I buy of the 1st 2010 wave! Perfect, I cannot see why it is not, at least, considerably good. Quote
RileyC Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Meh, the new helmet is pretty average. Sure it does have a lot of detailing but it does look a bit too big. I think I'll wait until we have pictures of the final solution to form my opinion Quote
ForceMaster Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Guys, what you think about "new C-3PO colour" in a Landspeeder?) Quote
posades Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) Guys, what you think about "new C-3PO colour" in a Landspeeder?) By new design don't they just mean the newer, darker gold version that has been out a for a bit now? I can't see them making another version, unless it's a small change that most people won't notice. Edited September 24, 2009 by posades Quote
-JD- Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I'm really hoping LEGO do not make all the helmets identical, or any pieces more realistic than they are. I am happy with just this one, but it won't feel right if they are exactly the same as the movies. Quote
Big Cam Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Guys, what you think about "new C-3PO colour" in a Landspeeder?) This image has been posted numerous times before. I think the image is just so grainy and dark it makes him look darker. I wouldn't expect a new color for our little droid friend. Quote
