June 3, 201113 yr Oh, that reminds me: [snip] Looks like this person has most of the new sets already. Can't say I like either. They're both bulky, big, and still inaccurate.
June 3, 201113 yr In regards to Hoth Base....it is a TRU exclusive - late August/early September Australian release.....just got the email back from TRU this morning !
June 3, 201113 yr Man does anyone have a backview of the new falcon yet? =/ Look at Pg 13 Best I could find..
June 3, 201113 yr This is the best i could find for it. [snip] The bottom isn't looking too good. Gappy and blocky, IMO, and it looks like there are some exposed Technic parts in the back.
June 3, 201113 yr Hoth looks ok. A hybrid between space police and alpha team: mission deep freeze haha! I am starting to see a trend in LEGO shifting their focus from the actual set playability to making some pretty sweet figs. Although I do not personally buy a set to get the minfigs, I am sure LEGO did some research into that area. I feel like many of the recent sets include flick fire missiles and that's about it when it comes to playing. Not saying that the set should all be based on play features but I feel like this one in particular is lacking. I mean they could have at least had a hallway where the top collapses and snow tumbles on top of the people inside.

June 3, 201113 yr So when will we start hearing rumours about the next wave?? If by next wave you mean the 2012 sets, probably about September, I think that's when we started hearing about this years sets in the 2010 thread.
June 3, 201113 yr If by next wave you mean the 2012 sets, probably about September, I think that's when we started hearing about this years sets in the 2010 thread. Actually, if you just take a look at the first post here, you'll find that the first news about the 2011 sets surfaced in early August
June 3, 201113 yr Well we all can hope for 2012 but we don't have any rumours for then from a relible source Edited June 3, 201113 yr by Jedi master Brick

June 3, 201113 yr I imagine the sets will be mostly Episode 1 and more CW for the winter. If the rerelease does well, expect a lot more Episode 2 sets for next summer and winter.

June 3, 201113 yr Well if LEGO sticks to tradition *snicker* there will be two BattlePacks ($11), a $20 set, a $25 set, a $50 set, and a $60 set and two Target/Walmart sets for usually $20-50 sets. EDIT: For the winter wave. (December 2011-January 2012) Edited June 3, 201113 yr by DarthR2-D2
June 3, 201113 yr When do the UCS sets normally hit the market? I think the interior of the Executor is the last picture we need for this year.
June 3, 201113 yr When do the UCS sets normally hit the market? I think the interior of the Executor is the last picture we need for this year. Late fall, I think. I know 10215 was a November release; pretty sure 10212 was a September release.
June 3, 201113 yr Honestly can't see what they'll make next year for Episode II. The CW Gunship and AT-TE seem up to spec, Geonosian Gunship and Boba's version of Slave 1 just came out. Obi Wan's Jedi Starfighter (Non-UCS) and speeders from the chase scene? Not much left to redo. Hopefully some Kaminoans will be seen this time round. Also this is 10 years since AOTC. That seems crazy. I would expect another LAAT/i and AT-TE - I doubt they'll look much different from 7675 and 7676, but perhaps they'll have more clones this time around. Another Delta-7 and a rehash of Zam's speeder wouldn't be a surprise either. Like this year, we can expect lots of old rehashes, some of which are long needed. me. Well we all can hope for 2012 but we don't have any rumours for then from a relible source Um, there will be sets released... Greg Hyland said so.
June 3, 201113 yr Um, there will be sets released... Greg Hyland said so. I meant we get good sets anyway its getting off topic (the whole threas seems to be)
June 3, 201113 yr I meant we get good sets anyway its getting off topic (the whole threas seems to be) I think we need KimT to start a 2012 thread so we can start speculating.
June 3, 201113 yr I think we need KimT to start a 2012 thread so we can start speculating. Its Pics and rumors not speculation. So far the only rumours we have are a cloud city, and a jabba's palace, but they have being circulating since the beginning of this years sets.
