LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

[XimenaPaulina]

Prehistoric? We prefer alternate timeline, thank you very much.

Oops Sorry! I forgot about resident Mandalorian here in EB. I was looking for the right term, yeah that would be more appropriate.

I know someone mentioned a specific Clone Commander a while back, commanderneyo I think. But I don't remember the CC's name.

I really would love it if we got a new model of rifle (any new gun is good) but at this point I think the pistols are more necessary. I'm hoping Aurra comes out in a magnet set so I can try out the pistol with Han.

Heh heh. Well, the Halo is a must get for me - great ship design, plus Lego's rendition seems really accurate. The minifigs seal the deal for me.

EDIT: Thanks KDM! Seems Lego didn't throw in a visor, but it's not like we lack those. Definitely getting the Clone BP as well.

RE: No OT stuff.

I prefer the OT films to the PT Films, but the licence has been going on for 11 years. There's not that many new OT sets that can be released without it being obscure stuff with a minute of screen time (Remember LEGO is a business and while AFOLs would like a Gallofree medium transport, but everyone else wouldn't have a clue what it is.)or the Nth release of an X-wing/Y-wing ect. (Which, you'd all moan about anyway.)

"CC-4142 a.k.a Clone Captain Lock of the Horn Company reporting for duty Sir!"

Very good, trooper! Report to the mess hall and don't come see me for 3 years, or until you trade in that Megabloks-looking armor of yours for something more functional! Dismissed!

Couldn't decide whether to link that to Stormtrooper armor or AT-RT Driver armor. Decided on the latter since even if I happen to like OT, I won't be getting rid of my avatar anytime soon after you labeled me 'EB's Resident AT-RT Driver'.

On Topic: I don't really care who that CC is since he'll probably be disassembled , and no, ARF armor in the BP is no match for good ol' Kashyyyk Trooper armor.

Actually the printing of that Clone Commander is somewhat a 'limitation' since the print is specifically only for the Horn Company under general Eeth Koth. It would be nice to have one, but who would want to get multiples and create that clone company anyway? There are more prominent companies (501st, 212th, 41st Elite Corps, 327th Star Corps, 21st Nova Corps, etc.) which I think would have been a better alternative to those green ones.

The Pilot's face looks a lot like Captain Jag, and the wings rotate

It's nice to see they finally made the rotating wings, as it should have been in the previous version.

Even so, I still like the previous version better. The colours on the new one are much nicer, yes, but the overall shape and design is too inaccurate for me.

[CMP]

Why is everyone hating on the Imperial V-Wing? Yea, it's not accurate, but it's better than if it was accurate.

How?

[CMP]

How?

It's big, smooth, sleek, with a cool looking cockpit.

[CommanderFox]

Loving the printed legs of the commander! I reckon your right in thinking him to be Lock KDM.

Can't wait to get my hands on this set!!

[Ceroknight]

Thank you for the pictures prateek! Lovely printing on the figures

Those picture confirms me not getting the halo

very blocky, battlepacks are mandetory for me loving the astromech that comes with the v-wing and finally, the T-6...the minifigures are to die for but the ship itself?

Im going to wait a few years hoping the new figures will come out in new sets that are better and cheaper

Any pictures of the special editions?

[Mrlegoninja]

Thanks for pics!

[Brickdoctor]

It's big, smooth, sleek, with a cool looking cockpit.

Isn't the 'real' one big, smooth, sleek, and with a cockpit so cool looking that TLG can't replicate it after two tries? And personally I wouldn't describe exposed studs that aren't standing in for round details as smooth or sleek.

It wouldn't be Lego without at least 1 exposed stud. And it's a piece of glass, not a work of art.

[TheWarden]

Changed my mind on the V-wing. That is super sexy looking! I'll still hold judgment till we have reviews / big pics , but I'm moving that up my short buylist.

[RileyC]

Oh boy picture time!

The battle packs look superb! The mandos look awesome and really do look like Lego may be setting us up for a Jango in the next few years. The clones really do look great, awesome new printing on them all and some super cool new molds. I am loving the new little stubby guns, much better than the commanders guns that we have been getting. The V wing looks impressive. I am loving the new astromech though! . The colour scheme is awesome and he's so shiny! I would have much rather had a normal imperial pilot like the TIE defender's pilot much he looks pretty cool as well. The droid carrier still looks good. Im loving the Gun Gans though, I sure do hope we see more of them in the future. The shuttle, to me looks average. Though the two new minifigs gain a bit of ground on it. The bounty hunters ship is really nice. I like the colour scheme and it looks pretty cool. The bounty hunters though look awesome. Though Im tired of getting the Assassin Droid thrown in when ever there are bounty hunters. The others though look nice. Im still unsure about Aurra though, she seems to white imo.

Thanks for the pictures guys!

[XimenaPaulina]

Im still unsure about Aurra though, she seems to white imo.

But she should be white right? I think only lego white will fit her skintone.

[Baylego]

Nice! All of these sets look really cool. I really want some close-ups of the figs in the bounty hunter set! I hope they come soon. The only thing I don't like is that Quinlain Vos is not in the Jedi Shuttle, I really wanted him, especially after watching tonight's episode!

[RileyC]

But she should be white right? I think only lego white will fit her skintone.

Yeah but its sort of a dirty white and not pure white. Though I know how difficult it would be to recreate in lego.

Well said, Brickdoctor. I wouldn't expect anything more tolerant from the person who had constructed a wonderful UCS rendition of the Alpha-3 Nimbus.

Well it looks like I was wrong and the wings on the new set do rotate. Or at the very least, they can be attached horizontally. (This would explain why LEGO shortened the guns.)

It's a little bit strange though... if you zoom in on the picture above, you can see that the way the wings attach to the main body doesn't look much different from the connection on the previous rendition; what's more, the wing panels are still individually movable via bar clips (using the more recent 1x2 plates w/ vertical handlebar). And we all know you can already choose to display your 6205 in this manner. (Just fix the wings like this.)But you can see a Technic bit around the larger panels... perhaps there's a gear of some sort in the rear of the ship (similar to the 4502 or the 7259)?

In addition, I don't think that the nose on this set is actually longer than the nose on the previous rendition; it's just that LEGO has opted to use only one pair of 3x12 wing plates in the front (as opposed to two pairs on the previous rendition); the section around the cockpit (which was represented with 1x4 wing plates on the 6205) are now 1x3 wing plates, and shifted several studs forward at that. (It's very inaccurate.) I think that the rectangular area around the cockpit makes up for the removal of the second pair of 3x12 wing plates, so the nose looks about the same length.

The large panels around the droid socket are definitely shorter; they are 6 studs long here, whereas they were 8 studs on the previous rendition. (Again, inaccurate.) As I've said before, LEGO has switched out the click hinges for bar hinges, which actually seems like a step back. (Not unlike the other two points I've mentioned.) But it looks like the droid socket itself is only two studs wide rather than four, so the ship doesn't actually acommodate the whole droid. (Consistent with the last rendition.) It looks like Lord Embo's wish was granted.

The triangular structures on the rear of the wing pivots are slightly more accurate (and those look like new slope brick pieces) but the way they're attached looks a bit awkward.

That new oversized canopy piece just looks so terrible... not only is it out of scale with the minifigure, it's actually out of scale with the rest of the fighter. Compare:

All in all, this set looks like a step back for LEGO.

EDIT: One more thing I've noticed - I see what look like 1x1 tiles with the clips in front of the droid socket. The canopy now swings upward. I don't know how accurate this is, but it does constitute a new play feature.

I count three stickers, one on the nose, one on each panel.

A chrome silver astromech droid was seen in the corridors of the Death Star. Now what is LEGO trying to imply here...?

By the way, I built the stand for that 6205.

Wow! these are great, but not as big as I'd like. Whatever though, on to my thoughts.

The Clone BP looks good, as I saw before. The Mando BP is 100x better since there are now 4 jetpacks! I'm kinda disappointed about the Imperial Pilot in the V-Wing, but it's not a big issue. The T-6 cockpit is nice, if not a bit too much, and I thought the red was supposed to be dark red.

The clone battle pack is getting even better now. Wow! More leg printing! Yay, I was right. Or at least, I'm right for the moment. The green on the commander's helmet doesn't seem to match the torso and leg armour's green. I hope this is just an illusion of light. Also, the ARFs helmets have some minimal but nice printing. Might be better if they had a different torso, but I don't know if it's meant to be the same.

Yay, more pistols in the Mandalorian battle pack. Better because I'm getting two. I hope in either the clone or Mandalorian battle packs there are those helmet attachments (preferably black). That would pretty much be all I need for now.

[XimenaPaulina]

The ARFs have normal clone trooper torso.

But you can see a Technic bit around the larger panels... perhaps there's a dial in the back to turn the wings?

In addition, I don't think that the nose on this set is actually longer than the nose on the previous rendition; it's just that LEGO has opted to use only one pair of 3x12 wing plates in the front (as opposed to two pairs on the previous rendition); the section around the cockpit (which was represented with 1x4 wing plates on the 6205) are now 1x3 wing plates, and shifted several studs forward at that.

What's with that minifigure? Why haven't they changed it to a real TIE pilot? The printed helmet face is starting to annoy me (even if it does look a lot like

this guy).

All in all, this set looks like a step back for LEGO.

I love the leg printing and all the mandos have jetpacks! I must say sugi still looks weird to me
