Brickdoctor Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Yes, a Mace Windu starfighter! I have wanted an actual Mace for a while since I only have a light up one. Since it is significantly more expensive than a normal starfighter, I hope it has some nice minifigs like young Boba on his speeder bike with his father's helmet from the Season 2 finale. The CW one from the Nu Shuttle comes as part of a $15 magnet. Quote
Masked Builder Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) The Eta-2 with Hyperspace Ring went for $40. Here's hoping... That would be nice. It's about time for another Starfighter ring. I got mine for $15. The CW one from the Nu Shuttle comes as part of a $15 magnet. Yep. But I got mine for $4.

But neither of these are MSRP. I'm providing useful, reliable information to another member who wants that 'fig. No offense, but I don't think this is the thread to rave about the deals you got.

Fallenangel Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Maybe he said that because he already 'perfected' the X-Wing. @fallenangel327: I completely understand your point, and I certainly agree with you on TLG's side of playability and stability on sets. But pls. tone down a bit on the sarcasm. There's a less harsh way to get your point across. And let's stop with this off-topic set designing debate before it gets way out of hand. We don't want to feel the wrath of Kim and Stash do we? I apologize KielDaMan; it appears that when I join in the sarcasm other board members appear to be able to use so fluently I tend to overdo it a bit. I did not and probably never will 'perfect' the LEGO X-wing. That has nothing to do with it; it's just that I feel LEGO is mistaken 'about a great many things' when it comes to the X-wing. I feel the same way about the Delta-7 Aethersprite and the Slave I. Besides, someone else already did. Regardless of whether we're getting another Mace Windu or not, I think it would probably be his Eta-2, and not his Delta-7, which will be released; as I had previously stated, seeing as Phase II clones, ARC-170 starfighters, and the like has already featured in the newer Clone Wars series, it's likely that the Eta-2 Actis interceptor should make its appearance soon. (After all, the Eta-2 and the ARC-170 made its debut appearance in the same year of the war - 20 BBY. Not 22 BBY - this 'Battle of Malastare' is obviously a retcon.) Of course, there's the risk of the 'new' set just having almost exactly the same build as Anakin's and Obi-wan's Jedi starfighters (with purple rather than yellow or dark blue) and the same oversized (B-wing) canopy piece as a cockpit bulb again. Or worse, a vulture droid included. I would disagree commanderneyo; we know from the TIE/d, TIE Crawler, TIE Defender, and Rogue Shadow sets (among others) that LEGO is aware of the EU. Rather than just rehashes, it means that LEGO has a near-infinite choice of starships, minifigures, and situations with which they can please Original Trilogy (pre-'99 Star Wars) fans and NOT just rehashes. (I've been saying it for years.) Quote

I feel the same way about the Delta-7 Aethersprite and the Slave I. Besides, someone else already did. No prob fallenangel327, let's just leave it as water under the bridge. But I still think your version of the X-Wing is way better than the official releases and should've been how TLG built it. Regardless of whether we're getting another Mace Windu or not, I think it would probably be his Eta-2, and not his Delta-7, which will be released; as I had previously stated, seeing as Phase II clones, ARC-170 starfighters, and the like has already featured in the newer Clone Wars series, it's likely that the Eta-2 Actis interceptor should make its appearance soon.

Or worse, a vulture droid included. Actually, now that you and Brickdoctor mentioned it, your point is very valid and it makes sense that the rumored Mace's starfighter will probably be an Eta-2 rather than the Delta 7-B. Most people (including me) just remember the CW cartoon series 5 years ago and are forgetting the fact that the current CW series has been slowly transitioning from Phase I to Phase II, so there is a high possibility of the Eta-2. Besides, Mace's purple Eta-2 looks waaaay better than his rather boring Delta 7-B. And like what BD said, the inclusion of a hyperdrive ring will justify the steep price for a starfighter. Quote
prateek Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 That's very questionable to being "perfect." I agree... I like the official one better.... Quote
Ceroknight Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Brickbuilder has a nice picture of the upcoming 'halo' but it has a confidential on it... Can I still post it? Quote
Ritz Brick Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 maybe mace's JSF is so expensive cause of purple pieces? or maybe just purple stickers. But if its just purple stickers, I'd imagine there would be something else in the set. Quote

Ceroknight Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 No I don't think you ca, EB doesn't host confidential images. But maybe a link to the site? Its on his flickr account, really clear. And it also has other 2011 sets including two new themes... http://www.flickr.com/photos/54191445@N03/with/5015592485/ Quote

But if its just purple stickers, I'd imagine there would be something else in the set. Probably not due to the purple parts but as what was speculated above, a hyperdrive ring, which is much more probable. Quote

The most expensive paint in the world is 'imperial purple' and unless lego is using that, there is no reason why it should be an expensive color to make Quote
commanderneyo Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 I personally really hope that the mace windu starfighter rumor is true and yes I know he probably has the most boring starfighter with a little bit of purple on it but it would still be a be a good way to get a young boba fett or a cheaper set to get bossk in Edit: Some of you may know this but greedo from a new hope will appear in the next clone wars episode Quote
Darth Jar Jar Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Hey maybe Maces Delta-7 comes with the escape pod that the kiddie clones were in that would be pretty cool Quote
Clonie Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 See, if it was an Eta-2 I would be happy, since that's one of my favourite Star Wars ship designs, whereas the Delta's one of my least favourite. Apparently kids can't get enough of the Delta, though. They made an UCS one for crying out loud. commanderneyo: CW Greedo would be interesting. I really should watch CW. xD Quote

Clonie Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Too bad I live in Australia I guess. I want a Trident Drill. Probably too obscure to be true, but then again they made the Ice Cutter. Quote
Fallenangel Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 That's very questionable to being "perfect." Of course it is. By 'perfect' I simply meant that I believed errbt's X-wing was the best way I've ever seen anyone build a LEGO X-wing. Despite what some may say, I believe it's definitely superior to bwhp's, dateman's, mikepsiaki's, or roguebantha's versions. (And mine, of course.) Brickdoctor's UCS V-wing or Badgerboy's UCS Grievous fighter isn't really 'perfect' either. Just by LEGO and LEGO fan standards. If you really wanted 'perfect', you would choose FineMolds or Master Replicas over amateur LEGO fans. I want a Trident Drill. Probably too obscure to be true, but then again they made the Ice Cutter. LEGO has made ships that have appeared in the films or series for like less than 10 minutes (droid carrier, Gasgano's pod, Wookiee flyer, etc.) so I don't see why not. Of course, I'd rather LEGO choose something obscure from the Original Trilogy or the EU (skipray blastboat anyone?) As long as it's well done... and a 'Trident' would make a nice parts pack for orange/ dark tan pieces. Quote
