-JD- Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 A new helmet? Are you sure? I meant a new helmet print and a new torso print. January and February are going to be my favourite months of the year! My complaints about the Swamp Speeder are the flick fire guns, stickers, and the engine which looks more like a fan. Quote
Oky Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Yup, that's Barriss alright. I would have prefered Luminara, but this is still good. Thanks for the new pics guys! The speeder looks great! Definitely getting at least one of it! Too bad the clone seems to be the old style with a black head, but oh well. He'll blend in better with the old ones this way. Let's hope there are more where that fig came from! It's also interesting that Barriss seems to have some sort of mixture between a CW and traditional style face. I guess she'll blend in with either kind this way. Just one think I noticed is that the seats on the speeder aren't set how they were in the PT, they are now behind the grey 'wings'. Where did you see the seats in front of the shields? That's the whole point of those shields - to keep the drivers safe. January and February are going to be my favourite months of the year! My complaints about the Swamp Speeder are the flick fire guns, stickers, and the engine which looks more like a fan. Really, I don't know where you guys are getting your reference from, but looking at the pic below, it look pretty much like a fan to me. I do agree on the guns and Jan/Feb though. I'll have to mod those a bit. Edited December 11, 2009 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
Forresto Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Those are incredible! The swamp speeder especially! Did anyone know about the swamp speeder? Is it a TRU exclusive? I just know that i'm getting two of them! Danm there's no Garindian so please don't gloat . I'm just kidding you can gloat ! I wonder if this is Lego's look on what the phase 2 clone troopers from the Clone Wars series will look, or they know something we don't . Quote
Oky Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) I wonder if this is Lego's look on what the phase 2 clone troopers from the Clone Wars series will look, or they know something we don't . I'm pretty sure it's ROTS/EU based. I know you wont take my word for it since you still believe the ARC is CW... @ KimT: You should probably update the frontpage with the new pic(s) and change it from "Rebel Swarm Speeder" to "Republic Swamp Speeder".

ADHO15 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Thanks very much about the info and sorry i didn't remember to stay on topic- and my punctuation i cannot punctuate my own language right and then english sorry i try- but i find it strange that if you want to be member of this community you must be very skillful what comes to writing- (is this a full stop?) this is not any english teachers club or anything -but a lego site- lego is danish so why do legofans should write english correctly? Nobody's asking you to speak perfect English. Full stops are those little dots that you use to show the end of a sentence. Even primary school kids can do that! That's irrelevant. English is more widely-spoken than Danish and you're expected to speak English if you want to post here. Oh lost from a topic again- back to 2010 sets then... i want to see Ranchor in lego form and i hope that Wampa attack- rumour is true- lego should make more animals although they make all sets sooooo... expensive That's still not on-topic. Wishes and wants go in the 'Future Star Wars sets' topic. My complaints about the Swamp Speeder are the flick fire guns, stickers, and the engine which looks more like a fan. You don't have to use them as flickies. They still look good enough on their own. As Oky said, the engine is supposed to be a fan. Quote
-JD- Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 You don't have to use them as flickies. They still look good enough on their own. I know I don't, but they look stupid. As Oky said, the engine is supposed to be a fan. Whatever. I never knew that. The fan looks a little silly in a galaxy where lightspeed is possible. Sorry if it's just me... Quote
Oky Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) I never knew that. The fan looks a little silly in a galaxy where lightspeed is possible. Sorry if it's just me... It bothers you on a land based vehicle but not on a space vessel such as the ARC-170? I personally like fans. Edited December 11, 2009 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
Forresto Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I'm pretty sure it's ROTS/EU based. I know you wont take my word for it since you still believe the ARC is CW... Dang it Oky Wan the ARC is CW! just kidding, to be honest I now believe that the ARC is ROTS. Although I did'nt think of the ISP as being ROTS mainly because of Barris, but it actually makes sense now that you say it. Quote
pedro Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Finally digged up the old scanner from storage. Here is a better photo of the Swamp Speeder. SOLD! Just love that speeder, Barriss Offee is beautiful! Can't wait to see all the extra Jedi LEGO must surely have in store. Cheers for the pic Fumoffu! New landspeeder pics do look great, though I'm not sure it's an essential purchase for me. Still reckon it should've been predominantly earth orange in colour too. Quote
lightningtiger Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 OMG ! What a 24 hour period, weeks of so little information and in one huge hit a new set and Lukes Landspeeder too, etc.,. First of all, the swamp speeder I still think ROTS even though I was hope CW, but I already wrote I'll be getting and the box art show 'limitted edition' which usually means TRU ! Lukes speeder at 24 euro's I wonder what that is in Aussie dollars ? It's being a busy day and I have a feeling its not over yet ! And another point how does TRU in the USA score BP's before the rest of the world, might check S@H once I post this. Quote
CommanderFox Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 This topic moves so darn fast! I just spent 20 minutes reading the last five pages which most of where kinda errelevent. Thanks for the clearer pic Fumoffu Thanks also for the Pics of the box arts on the landspeeder and the Swamp speeder, to whoever posted them. These both look like amazing sets, Im really wondering how Im going to afford Lego next year. CommanderFox Quote
-JD- Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 It bothers you on a land based vehicle but not on a space vessel such as the ARC-170? The ARC is propelled by fans alone? In the void of space?! What is there for the fan to work against? Sorry if someone has answered this question, but how much does the Swamp Speeder cost? I'll get a few if they are £22 or less. Quote
lightningtiger Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Well I check S@H and notice the 'Classic Star Wars' area for the USA is quite bare of listed sets ! I would say very shortly January and maybe even Feburary sets will pop up shortly, the new year is just under 3 weeks away. Oh, yeah a BP with a named character init is there, hmm ?! At least we will have a pliot for the snow speeder from the Wampa Attacks set right ? Quote
CommanderFox Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Sorry if someone has answered this question, but how much does the Swamp Speeder cost? I'll get a few if they are £22 or less. I don't think anyone knows yet. Maybe it'll be in the catalog! Fumoffu, was there anything on prices in the catalog? CommanderFox Quote
lightningtiger Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Aw cowcookies ! Just popped over to TRU, they have the ARC170 listed online and in USA - IT'S ALREADY OUT OF STOCK !!!!!!!!! No BP's listed at all - gee they have more Lego Star Wars than Lego do themselves ! Quote
Ben Kenobi Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 The ARC is propelled by fans alone? In the void of space?! What is there for the fan to work against? Sorry if someone has answered this question, but how much does the Swamp Speeder cost? I'll get a few if they are £22 or less. Probably, but it's "Limited Edition", so Lego will probably push the price up a fair amount. Still, Barriss is sweet. Would have liked a closed clone helmet with maybe a clone pilot head without the orange band, but it's still nice. Oh, and hello Eurobricks. Ben Kenobi Quote
-JD- Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 If it is more, I'll wait for the 3 for 2 offers to come round! £30 would be overpriced IMO, considering the Landspeeder's cost. Quote
CommanderFox Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) How can TRU already have it and sold out?! I don't get it. Lego should be the first to sell it, on S@H. CommanderFox Edited December 11, 2009 by CommanderFox Quote
Wout Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I posted first in the wrong forum, but I have seen better pics of Swamp speeder and Luke's landspeeder in De bouwsteen forum Swamp Speeder: I'm for 95 % believing it is Bariss Offee Alas, It's also official Limited. Luke landspeeder has, Luke, Obi-Wan, R2D2, C3Po, Sandtrooper and Floating droid. No Interresting alien. Quote

I can't wait to get them! CommanderFox Quote

CommanderFox First page of Lego Star Wars TRU USA Everyone can see for yourselves. I still ask how they can be out of stock myself. Quote

Maybe they haven't sold any yet. They probably have just put the pic up and don't have stock so just say "out of stock". CommanderFox Quote
Ben Kenobi Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 If it is more, I'll wait for the 3 for 2 offers to come round! £30 would be overpriced IMO, considering the Landspeeder's cost. I hear ya. Still, the set has some nice stuff. Battle Droids (I have very few, unlike some members), Phase Two Clones, a female Jedi (Though my sister will think she's 'weird') and a generally nice design. Can't wait! Landspeeder... It's alright. Nothing new, but if we're getting pupiled versions of the main characters (Indy-style faces), then it may be an important purchase. Ben Kenobi Quote

Im not to sure, maybe. I don't live in the US so wouldn't know, sorry. I don't think TRU do rainchecks, but could be wrong. CommanderFox Quote
