Masked Builder Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I agree, I've already got my Rex, but I was really surprised it took them so long to put another one in a set, considering hes in almost every episode as a main character, and with all the anakins and ashokas flying around, you think there would be a lot of them by now. I really like the set regardless. Yeah I'm ready for a Cody in a cheap set. Maybe we'll see him in the Summer stuff! Quote
FettJango Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Yeah I'm ready for a Cody in a cheap set. Maybe we'll see him in the Summer stuff! Why not just get cody decals? It's cheaper. Quote
CommanderFox Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Why not just get cody decals? It's cheaper. Yeah, but then you have to put them on, and sometimes it can go wrong. Anyways if cody is in a summer set then it would be way less of a hassle to just get him in that. CF Quote

Delta 38 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Not only do I not like using Bricklink, but I also prefer to get actual sets. There is something I like about buying a set as a whole and not just the bits and pieces I like. Yeah, same here. I don't buy stuff online in general (not yet anyway), and I much prefer to spend extra on sets than get extremely overpriced minifigs. Kind of no point, might as well get the actual set (which I usually want anyway) rather than just the minifigs. Quote
Matiam92 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I am not going to read the hundred and somewhat pages to see if my question was already asked... Is the SBD in the Battle for Geonosis a Rocket arm SBD or regular... My eyes are garbage so I can't see through the blurriness to tell Yoda says "GRAAAAA" get it AAAARG in yoda voice Quote
Brickdoctor Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Yeah I'm ready for a Cody in a cheap set. Maybe we'll see him in the Summer stuff! Since Cody isn't supposed to wear ARC gear and uses a generic face, you could buy the keychain and use any other clone head when you need a no-helmet pic. Quote
Lord Embo Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Is the SBD in the Battle for Geonosis a Rocket arm SBD or regular... My eyes are garbage so I can't see through the blurriness to tell I can't tell that well, but it appears to be a regular one, I'm afraid. However, a rocket arm one would be sweet; it is about time TLG put them in another set! Not only do I not like using Bricklink, but I also prefer to get actual sets. There is something I like about buying a set as a whole and not just the bits and pieces I like. I agree. I just have a really nice feeling inside me when I go to the shop and buy a Lego set. I don't know how to describe it, though it makes me feel like I've done something really good to help the world or like a great sense of achievement. Generally, I don't like using BrickLink because shipping from there is too expensive for a UK resident like myself, because older figs can often be as expensive as the set that they come in was in shops and it just doesn't seem proper to use it, Ebay or Amazon to buy sets; I never get my nice feeling when I use BrickLink. One aspect of BrickLink that is good is that you can get old sets that are usually ridiculously expensive elsewhere for a price closer to the set's retail price. Only when I buy one of those sets on Ebay, BrickLink or Amazon do I get that nice feeling inside me. Lord Embo Edited October 28, 2010 by Lord Embo Quote

Is the SBD in the Battle for Geonosis a Rocket arm SBD or regular... My eyes are garbage so I can't see through the blurriness to tell It seems to have a rocket arm. The part of the box with the minifigs included shows a different arm on the right (the droid's left arm, that is). You can kind of see it in the main image too, but it's easier to see on the side. Speaking of which, that's good, because I don't own one. I kind of didn't notice it in the excitement about Rex though. Assuming I will get this, and I'll get a Luminara, perhaps it's time to resume the search on the Swamp Speeder over here. It's been vanishing from shelves for a while until I stopped looking altogether, but it would be nice to get Bariss to go with Luminara. Edited October 28, 2010 by Delta 38 Quote
CommanderFox Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 IM 99.99999% (this could go on ) sure that it's a regular arm. Remember though, that these are prelims, maybe not the Geonosis set, it does look kinda final, but it could change. But my guess is just a normal SBD arm, anyway its minor, if you don't like it you can always change it. C-Fox Quote

C-Fox Actually, the Geonosis set pic is off the back of the instruction booklet for the Battle of Naboo set, so it's final. Quote

commanderneyo Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 How do you know that? Lord Embo Preliminary set pictures always have a confidential stamp posted on the box and this one doesn't so it's final (Sadly) Quote

Lord Embo Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Captain Rex as we already have him and we are supposed to be getting new figures in 2011 so they should have thrown in Commander Gree. I don't mind getting Rex in this set; I missed the last one he came in as I could never find it because it was so popular. However, I see your point about new figures for 2011 as well, but it is nice for those of us who couldn't afford or find the AT-TE to be able to get hm in a much cheaper set. Lord Embo Quote

Lord Embo If you can't find it in shops. Amazon is your answer, Did I mention I was also unhappy about no Geonosians in this set? Quote
Lord Embo Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Did I mention I was also unhappy about no Geonosians in this set? As far as I know, no, you did not. But there should be Geonosians in this set because, after all, all other sets called the Battle of ______ include at least 1 member of the planet's main native species. It seems that this set is the exception to this rule. If you can't find it in shops. Amazon is your answer, If you refer to one of my posts on the previous page, I said I don't think it feels right to buy Lego off second-hand stores or websites. *EDIT* 40th post!

Flare Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Did I mention I was also unhappy about no Geonosians in this set? Me too We better get some in the battlepack! Quote
Darth Jar Jar Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Me too We better get some in the battlepack! Im pretty sure we will get some in the other geonosis set Quote
commanderneyo Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Im pretty sure we will get some in the other geonosis set Our hopes lie in the battlepack and the Geonosian Starfighter. Quote
Darth Jar Jar Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I just remembered this KimT hinted geonosis and look what we have three geonosis sets Our hopes lie in the battlepack and the Geonosian Starfighter. Let me put it this way we will definitely get Geonosians in the Geonosian star fighter Quote

KimT Posted October 28, 2010 Author Posted October 28, 2010 Slow down people - consider your posts and remember that this is NOT a chatroom, but a discussion topic on the 2011 lineup of sets. Quote
Skafte Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I'm a bit confuzzled with these Geonosian sets. The set we have pics of now wasn't on the earlier list of the 2011 winter wave. Then the summer list appears with a "Battle of/for Geonosis" set on it. Later, the pic appears but there is still a second Geonosis set (apart from the starfighter) on the summer list. Are people really thinking there will be one "Battle for Geonosis" and one "Battle of Geonosis" in the same year? My guess is that the one on the summer list should be dropped. Quote
