LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

[Igoran]

Okay, the scoped pistols. What detail is it exactly you're womdering about?

I just want to know the name of the blaster 2011.

[Klaus-Dieter]

Again about the Ewok Attack set:

Since it's more or less clear that the person which gave us the information about three Ewoks and two Scout Troopers being included can not be taken seriously.

So I nevertheless bet - and hope - that there'll be an Endor Luke included.

Of course Luke was during the Battle of Endor on the DS. But the past shows us that TLG does not always include minifigs and elements which fit hundred percently in exactly the according scene of the movie(s) (e. g. Hoth Han wasn't on his Tauntaun during the Battle of Hoth (at this time his Tauntaun was already dead) - and nevertheless the Echo Base set from 2009 included him with his Tauntaun).

And since we haven't had a fleesh Endor Luke yet and since he's the main character it's imo very unsupposably (and would be bad) him being included in a regular (small) BP, it's very likely that he'll be included in this set.

I hope that we'll get pics soon (last year it was at Christmas Eve I think) to know which is now really included and which not.

You have a very good point there. Han Solo never appeared on the battlefield during the Battle of Hoth,

so it's more than likely that we could be getting Endor Luke.

So if it follows the pattern of the last $25 sets, I would assume we'd get Luke, 1 ewok, 1 rebel, and 2 imperial scouts?

Brickbuilt parts would be a speeder bike, an ewok catapult and what else? In the Echo Base one we got that rebel cannon/fort thing AND a taun taun. I'm at a loss as to what brickbuilt things there might be. We already got an AT-ST in the Endor set...

(edit: not that the taun taun was brickbuilt, but you know what I mean)

I've just found new pics of the SE sets on s@h's cache:

[Bricks2000]

Amazing finds, Lego-Freak! I'm Lovin' that Tactical droid! :wub:

[XimenaPaulina]

Thanks for these new pics Lego-Freak! Mace's astromech looks really good with very accurate colors. And I'm lovin' that new tactical droid. However, Mace's JSF is just (why did the sides of the cockpit suddenly become that bulbous? ). This is probably the 'weakest' of all the triangles TLG has released. I'm eagerly looking forward getting the Geonosis set to finally have Luminara and Rex.

Thank you so much, that astromech looks great.

IMO the Tactical Droid is to tall. ANd seeing how he is made from SBD legs, they might fall off easily

Looks like the SBD blaster arm is making a comeback. So does anyone else anticipate that the other droid on the proton cannon will be a pilot like the battle of naboo one?

[Clone OPatra]

I don't think so. It looks tan to me, and also a pilot does not make sense for the large gun. Pilots are used for ships, not weaponry.

By the way, KimT, in the first post you have the US price for the T6 as 79.99, but I believe it is supposed to be 59.99.

Nice finds, thanks for the pics. Although I'm not really excited for them.

The tactical droid looks pretty good, same for the astromech and Luminara, and I'd like to have Rex, too.

But the set models themselves are a bit meh. Going to wait for the Ewok Attack, MF and the Geonosis sets..

Please wave 2 pictures... Make your debute now. They should be around at this time soon,

so keep your eyes out, guys.

Tactical Droids are supposed to be tall. In fact they are the same height as the SBDs (1.93m), compared to the B1s (1.91m), which makes perfect sense of the use of the SBD legs.

Droid-y long-legs

Instead of a catapult I'd love to get some of the other Ewok traps.

-A string connected to two trees to clothesline scouts.

-A hidden net to capture food and/or enemies.

-A cage with multiple logs in it ready to roll down a hill.

The catapult is played out...give us something new TLG!

KDM hit the nail on the head. Mace's Delta-7B is butt ugly. But it comes with two STAPs, a cool astromech and the Tactical droid (even if it is too tall). Since this should be reasonably priced, I think I'll pick it up.

Battle for Geonosis has been on my list for a while now. These new photos haven't changed that (still not thirlled about the Technic canon in the center, but I'll make do).

Too bad we don't know which stores or exact price yet. Or do we? I've lost track.

I guess so. When we saw the box art it showed two separate B1's. One with a blaster and one without. I doubt that would be enough for TLG to consider them different.

Tactical Droids are supposed to be tall. In fact they are the same height as the SBDs (1.93m), compared to the B1s (1.91m), which makes perfect sense of the use of the SBD legs.

Ah, I see. He is rather tall. Might be a tight squeeze in that speeder.

[Lego Star Wars Pwns]

Wow, thanks for the pics! The tactical droid looks great, but the starfighter does look a bit ugly in terms of the other ones of the same type. And the astromech looks pretty cool. I'm a conformist!, guys!

[Emperor]

Thanks for the pics, great find!

The astromech and the TD are amazing, it's a pity they ruined the Starfighter

The BfG is perfect, 2 more or less exclusive figs and a wonderful way to increase my droid army.

[Walter Kovacs]

I don't think they ruined Mace's Starfighter, I think the source material is just that bland. Mace's Delta 7B was a poor choice for a source. But it does make for a cheaper way to get Mace than the RAS (at least, I think it's cheaper).

I think the magnet set was cheap enough ;) A cheaper way to get a non-TCW Mace would be more important.

I agree that Mace's SF is just bad material. Kit Fisto's would have been much more beautiful.

Ahh, I don't pay attention to the magnet sets. And before long, they won't be an option.

Has Kit Fisto's Delta 7B appeared in TCW (I'm way behind in watching the show)? If so, I would have rather had that one, though that would put Kit in three sets, and CW Mace in only one set, so I can see why TLG would decide against it.

It has appeared in the same episode that the new Griveous' SF is based on, the one with Nadhar Vebb. It looks like this.

TLG had other options than the JSF as an exclusive...I still think it is a sign that they're running out of ideas for TCW sets.

[Walter Kovacs]

Ahh, I've missed the Nadhar Vebb episode, although I have seen that picture before. Kit's JSF would have been much more interesting.

If they are running out of material from TCW, maybe they should sprinkle in more OT sets.

[Delta 38]

As expected, great Astromech and figures but fairly bland starfighter. The colour scheme is way too bland for me. I hope more colourful ones are made in the future. I'll probably buy it regardless, though I would like better ones in future.

[KimT]

Great job on finding those 2 in LEGO's cache - now who's looking for the high resolution versions?

[Masked Builder]

Wowza! Both sets look great! Definitely both buys for me. That tactical droid is just great.

[Emperor]

A German online store has a better pic of the packaging:

Nothing new, but you can see the overall shape of the Starfighter better.

There is a slightly bigger pic of the contents as well:
