LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures and Rumors

[-JD-]

I follow this thread with great interest, and I know I rarely take part in the discussion, but I think with all these pics appearing, its worthwhile remembering that they are PRELIMINARY pictures, and may in some cases use exisiting pieces in place of new ones. Remember the first pics of the endor battle? The rebel troopers had kelpies and smiley faces! So please don't place too much faith in the prelims, they are just to give the dealers an idea of what the sets contain, not specifics...

Just my thoughts.

Wise words Kaitan, wise words. Dang, those prelim Endor Rebels looked revolting!

[ADHO15]

I think all this fuss over a Bren DerWhatsHisFace fig are ridiculous. Everyone knows there aren't any main characters in BPs. It's just gonna be some rebel with a mustache.

Of course, this doesn't mean you can't pretend that that's him.

I know there aren't main characters in battlepacks, but that's probably who it's supposed to be, just without naming him.

The rebel troopers had kelpies and smiley faces!

You mean kepis? Kelpies are 'supernatural water horses'.

[Kaitan]

You mean kepis? Kelpies are 'supernatural water horses'.

Yep, I do mean Kepis. And thats why I don't take part in the discussion very often - Time to get back in my box.

Well said Oky. It's just going to be a Generic Rebel, possibly a commander. No one special though.

[CaptainRex110]

This guy has some great pics of the Imperial BP, as well as some other 2010 sets (from other themes).

Hey, that's my MOCpages! Nice...

I try to keep it up-to-date.

[RileyC]

I would rather have just normal fleshie faces so then I matches the hoth soldiers from the echo base set. Sure it makes the set more interesting but I dont see why they have to go to more trouble to do it. It would be nice if maybe one of them was different so he could be like a commander or something like the clones with the pauldrons.

[brown_eyes12]

Is there any news of the at-at?

[starwarsfanatic]

These sets all look great. Missed all of the re-releases except Grievous' Starfighter last time. It would be good if LEGO made all the sets since 2005 with yellow heads. These horrible fleshies make for an apalling lack of customisation possibilites.

BTW, does anyone know what minifigs are in the CTT? Is it RotS or CW? If it's CW, I'll probably pass. If RotS, I'll probably buy.

I don't think we'll be getting any yellow heads. The fleshies aren't that bad, if there not CW ones though some aren't that bad.

I think the CTT will be ROTS, just my thoughts though

ADHO does know everything!

If the TIE pilots are the same as the new AT-AT helmets but in black then that would make them an awesome minifigure in my eyes again.

Oh that picture of the video game (moustache) commander character who gets shot by the AT-AT after he blasts it with his upside-down camcorder-RPG thing and dies; is the guy who I was talking about a couple of pages before.

Commander Fox has a point. The ARC-170 is ROTS unless the pilots of Clone Wars make a change. That would mean if the pilots don't change then the Clone Turbo Tank would definately be ROTS becasue Rothana Heavy Engineering would have started manufacturing them a couple of years after the ARC-170s appeared or around when they did. That would give them enough time to build such behemoths before they had official action on Felucia and Kashyyyk. Unless the robots of that fictional time would have been upgraded enough to build something with more armour and weapons than a US Abrams tank (which weighs about 70 tonnes each) than that would be quite fascinating. The Republic 'Juggernaut' that is the CTT would weight right into the hundred or even the thousands or tonnes each. At that kind of weight, its ten wide-spread wheels (which seem to have no rubber, surprisingly) would have to splay out its enormous weight and bulk of the war machine to avoid it bogging into soft terrain. So why would it be around in more than just its planning stages to tackle the seperatists in the time of Teth and all that. It does't make sense because at that time they were more intent of churning out AT-TEs and LAATs (both LAAT/i and LAAT/c) as their flagship and most useful machines at the time. When the sepertaists evolved and made more powerful machines (such as the 'mudracker' or crab droid) RHE and KDY had to build more complex and self-defensive equipment and machines that they came up with the behemoth that is best described as a 'big block of metal on wheels' or a Lego brick. There are a limited number of these too, under fifty or even 30 (I'm exercising a very well-estimated guess, here) so they must have started manufacturing these nearer to the end of the Clone Wars. So the bottom line is: The CTT shouldn't be Clone Wars. And if it is, I just wasted a whole post or I'm right and Lucasfilms doesn't know how to make a good timeline anymore.

Holy Wampa poodoo, that's a long post!

I have no idea what any of that means, but you sound like you know what you're talking about!

I think the CTT will be CW if the ARC 170 is CW, but we'll just have to watch the new season to find out for sure.

[SWMAN]

After looking at the prelim. pictures of the Imperial BP, I really hope they change the Imperial Commander. The helmet does not match the color of the torso, which personally bothers me. Plus, the torso is just he generic Imperial commander. They should create a new General Veers/AT-AT commander torso. Other than that, it looks good. The speeder does look kind of weird though.

Holy snap that's a lot .

Anyways though I don't think all these facts will have anything to do with whether the set is clone wars or not because from clips we already know that the CTT will be in the second season of the clone wars. It may still be ROTS but that's the big mystery is'nt it, nice reasoning though .

[RileyC]

Im quite sure on the starwars.com website they had an interview with one of the cast or producers and they said that they would break the timeline for this season so in some episodes they might have a episode that ties in with a season 1 episode and then they might be closer to ROTS and the clones would have phase II armour. I think it will be ROTS but still in the clone wars theme. If you get what I'm saying.

[helicaon]

My time has been rather short lately, and I was busy when ForceMaster posted everything.

I saw the discussing of the helmet looking bulky, but it just didn't occur to me there was a new mold for it.

it's obviously just my twisted, superficial mind that thinks the AT-AT helmet looks as if he's sticking his tongue out then...?

[CloneCommanderDelta7]

Yeah, a long post.

Anyway, why would they want to sever timelines! THAT'S INSANE! Just because they made the character Han Solo and employed Harrison Ford to act as him doesn't mean that they have to do stupid things like that (no offense, but piloting a freighter even if it is the Millenium Falcon to and back from the Death Star is a very stupid thing if seen by a practical person). It makes no sense if the CTTs were put into service at that time and another thing...blah blah blah

(I will stop talking to avoid another long post about CTTs and their time of service)

Correct.

I'm not so sure I'm fond of the idea, I would have prefered if they simply went in a linear path up to the begining of Episode III. But they've said this series will skip through-out the timeline, so phase-II troopers, ARC-fighters, Jedi interceptors, etc, are very possible.

From what I can see, Lucasfilm doesn't know how to make a good timeline since RotS, really... I mean if I project your argument about production times of the CTT onto the very Death Star, look at what we have :

The first one took twenty years to build and then hop, the second one took barely five years to get to a state of almost finished but definitely fully armed and operational ... AND for one that is far bigger than the first... But still... Since when are we looking at Star Wars for realism anyway

But if I remember right, we saw a CW CTT on one of the pics from season two and it looked like an earlier version than the RotS one, like a prototype or something (unless they wanted to simplify the model to give it a CW style but I doubt it) so it might be that the new LEGO CTT will match that one if it is indeed CW.

I think they were going to make more than two around the galaxy, and that was the second one being made. But yeh, thats just me.

[starwarsfanatic]

I don't think we'll be getting any yellow heads. The fleshies aren't that bad, if there not CW ones though some aren't that bad.

I think the CTT will be ROTS, just my thoughts though

CommanderFox

You're right. The flesh heads don't appear to have made the sale of sets any worse. In fact, if anything they've sold better! It will just be good when LEGO returns to the prequel lines and not CW. The CTT would be spoilt with CW heads.

Back on topic, the ARC-170 Starfighter looks good to me. I hope the Captain Jag minifigure has a double-sided head. It would definitely be good for those of us who do not like the orange visor printed on the face. Plus, I missed the last version. I will definitely purchase all sets.

I don't see the Garindan minifigure in the Luke's Landspeeder pic, but to me it looks a bit like this... Ghost Pics - Monk of Newby Church LEGO is haunted!!!!!!!

[Mission Commander]

I love the landspeeder! So many figs. I need a flesh Ben, and in a cheap set, WOW!(sorry of topic)

On topic. In the seasone 2 trailer there is CTT and phase 1 clones, I hope it's episode 3 though the odds are against us.

[The Who]

it's obviously just my twisted, superficial mind that thinks the AT-AT helmet looks as if he's sticking his tongue out then...?

Yes, even though that has absolutely nothing to do with my post...

[LEGO STAR WARS]

Did anyone think that the CTT might be from Geonosis? It could come with some Geonsians, clone troopers, Ki Adi Mundi and his second in command. Because I saw Ki Adi Mundi fighting Geonosians on Geonosis in the trailor.

Just me typing my thoughts.

That's a question, so it needs a question mark after it (One of these: ?). I don't think CTTs were used on Geonosis, and because there was Ki Adi Mundi does not necessarily mean there were CTTs.

Just me talking outloud.

We can't hear a word you are saying, considering this is the internet, where we comminucate by typing rather than talking.

http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/starwars/index.html

If you look at the video at 0:38/37 you can see a CTT blowing up on Geonosis. I hope it has Ki Adi Mundi.

P.S. I can't wait to see clearer pics of the landspeeder so we can throw this Grandian crap away.
