501st Commando Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 A big find a TRU today. I found the arc170, the bp's, and the freeco. I passed up the tie. They didn't have the land speeder or the tri fighter sadly. For all you who are wondering kit fisto has sand green hands. Quote
RoryoCox Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I agree with above. TRU done the same thing last year when new sets came out. They simply put 'out of stock' instead of going at finding the release date. Unfortunately this set is not on the UK TRU yet . I am sure it will be up soon. Quote

That means I can be expecting to see them in afew days in NZ! CommanderFox Quote
Oky 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? Not by fans alone, but it does have air intakes, and that makes no sense, does it? 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 ! I'm pretty sure they were never in stock, just like the Toy Story Woody's Round Up set. Quote
sok117 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) WOW, im so very excited for that new arc t70 fighter, though i don't think it will be up in Canada until after Christmas Edited December 11, 2009 by sok117 Quote

Oky Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Doesn't the mere fact that it's a Phase 3 clone and that Barriss has dot eyes confirm that it's ROTS/EU? And what does it matter anyway? It's a vehicle used in the CW, no matter if it was seen in the TV show or movies. Quote
yellost Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Not by fans alone, but it does have air intakes, and that makes no sense, does it? I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be adapted for atmospheric flight as well, so it would make sense for them to have something to cool them down then... I mean, if they're only spacecraft, it wouldn't make sense for them to have such a wide wingspan in the first place. It would just make them easier to get shot down and nothing else... But to be on topic, I really like the way they did that engine/fan on the swamp speeder. It looks good and powerful. That set is a really good news that unexpectedly comes out of nowhere Edited December 11, 2009 by yellost Quote
501st Commando Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Did you just see them or did you buy them ? I had to buy them, and the arc is RotS. On the back of the bp the pilot has a name. It is Zev Senesca. I find that weird because the bp's never have named characters in them ,but the sets are still great. The pilot also has a new print on the torso. Edited December 11, 2009 by 501st Commando Quote

Oh you beat me lightningtiger. CommanderFox Quote
Oswald the Rabbit Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 What I want to know is can the Talz headpiece be removed? Quote

If you don't mind, can you tell us if the eyes of the minifigs are standard Lego Star Wars eyes (full black) or white dot eyes ? And if the "crown" on top of the Talz head from the Freeco can be removed ? Quote
RoryoCox Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 These past 24 hours have been very exciting. The landspeeder is good, with some great minifigs. The unexpected swamp speeder is cool and i cannot wait until i get that Barriss Offee figure. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as productive, maybe with some official prices and release dates. Quote
JCC1004 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Can this get any better? That Swamp Speeder is amazing. It looks like a cheap set, includes Barris, and a more accurate Swamp Speeder! The Landspeeder is looking better and both Ben and Luke come with sabers! They look chrome too. Quote
RileyC Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Why does the SBD have two normal arms unlike the three from the AAT which had rocket launcher arms? Also why does it look like Luke and Ben and have the old chrome hilts? Why is lego taking steps back? The new pictures looks amazing and I cant wait to get my hands on luke's speeder! I like the minifig selection cause I don't have C3PO, tantooine luke or Ben kenobi. Im really hoping they have the old chrome hits because they were the best ones imo. Both sets seem to be relatively cheap compared to some sets that have been released and that are the same size. I cant wait to get them and thanks for the pics! Quote
CommanderFox Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Why does the SBD have two normal arms unlike the three from the AAT which had rocket launcher arms? Yes I thought about that aswell and thought it odd, when I saw the pics. CommanderFox Quote
The Crazy One Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) I have no idea if this has been brought up before, sorry if it has. I was looking at these beautiful new helmets ( ) on the Clone Pilots when I noticed this: Is it just me, or are those sides at the top of the Droid flat? Just a wild shot in the dark, but could we be seeing a new mold, possibly one of these dudes? Oooh, that Swamp Speeder is a work of art. I am buying 2, even though I will have to Barriss' then . I will also pick up 2 Arc-170's. Edited December 11, 2009 by The crazy one Quote
ben506 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Yes I thought about that aswell and thought it odd, when I saw the pics. CommanderFox It's not that odd. The rocket arms have only appeared in Clone Wars sets, as far as I know, so this is just their ROTS arms. Makes sense, as they only had standard arms in the films. Quote
the lead general Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Definatly no droid commander. I think the SBD has normal arms because it is a preview picture and the set is still a work in progress. This new version is way better than the old one. Quote
PMJ Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I wish we would get another 7th Sky Corps trooper. They're great. Quote
lightningtiger Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I think you maybe right about R4-P17, it does appear to have a more trapezoid shaped top to the droid. Quote
RoryoCox Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I do not think the astrodroid will be a new type. One side looks flat but from other pics with the droid in the ship, he looks just like all the other astros. Quote
Kami Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 The Swamp speeder is definitely a clone wars line product, bariss her eyes are way too big to be rots. The reason the Super droids don't have rocket arms is simple, those are actually commanders. Quote
