LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

[Darth Jar Jar]

Is the astromech unit in the Imperial V-wing chrome silver?

I don't think so I think its metallic slilver with gray?

One thing that I wonder about: what's the deal with the 2011 Endor set? (and on a side note: why did so many ask for Endor battle packs?)

8038 was one of the best sets ever and gave us everything that has been on Endor. Rebel Camo Scouts, Camo Leia, Biker Scouts, Imperial Trooper, AT-ST, speeder bikes, Ewoks and their stuff

What do people expect from another Endor set? (and if the answer is Camo Luke or more troops, this can be easily solved in buying another 8038 I think)

This just puzzles me...

There is no camo luke in that battle off Endor and I think its because they want a cheap way to get multiple rebel camo scouts and scout troopers?

Yeah I know there is none but he could be easily made with a 2nd Leia, right?

EDIT: Plus, is even one minifig reason enough for a whole set? They might put in more speeder bikes, a catapult, and a few troops. Doesn't justify a new set so soon after 8038. Smells like very very easy money. (I will take everything back if we really get something NEW)

The pilots don't have straight arms.

Qui Gon Jinn gave us these fantastic pictures, and yet some people still look at the newest pics, which have a far worse resolution.

To be honest, I forgot that those pictures existed.

Bingo! Cheap way to get multiples. And I have to agree with that sentiment.

Its not just one we need Han in a trench coat a camo luke a cheap way to get camo rebels in stead off paying 75 pounds for two people want endor battle packs as a cheap way to get them. which I agree

I'm not a fan of getting the Mighty expensive set (My only mighty expensives are the Venator old Turbo Tank, AT-TE(2008 version) and being a CW fan I would only put money aside for a Endor set if it was no dearer than the upcoming Battle for Naboo and had good figures (Luke (Camo Endor) Rebel Commandos (Endor) Leia (Camo Endor) and Han Solo (Camo Endor if they came in cheap sets.

I would have also said Biker Scout but seeing as we are getting a ARF Trooper soon there is no need for the Biker Scout.

You only need one Imperial bunker, one Han, one Leia and one R2. Let's say you want to have 10 Endor rebels (which isn't too much), you also end up with 5 At-St's, 10 speeder bikes, 5 catapults and 5 gliders - way too much.

A "Echo Base" - style Battle of Endor for about 25 € would be perfect. A few Rebel soldiers, stormies (none in 8038!), a bike and some plants/trees.

5 AT-STs would be awesome, what are you talking about!

Anyways, I don't think another Endor set is on top of peoples list, but considering it's the only known OT set this year, people will be buying it. I just hope they include Stormtroopers in it, there were more storm troopers in the battle then scout troopers.

Perhaps not everybody can afford to spend 200 € just to get 4 figs?

I think that it's quite possible that we get an Endor set, smaller sets containing a whole battle like the Battle of Naboo or the Echo Base aren't uncommon anymore; the rumored Battle of Geonosis would fit this line of bigger battle packs very well.

Anyway, this is mostly mere speculation; at the moment I just hope we'll get a review of the Battle of Naboo set soon, I want more pictures of the Gungan soldier

It's a shame the pilots don't have straight arms, unlike the STAP pilots they don't have to grip anything. I just hope that there'll be plenty of extra arms to enable the pilots to hold proper guns.

There is the camo Luke from the 1999 speeder bike set, if you really want him that bad. And I tried making one from a camo Leia- doesn't work 'cause TLG printed the 'woman's features' on her torso.

What do you mean, that would be awesome! Enough Rebels and Imperials for a big battle and the bunker has some nice pieces to be broken down into.

[Darth Jar Jar]

So your saying you don't want the a new endor set.....

If you're just interested in the figs, spending 500 €/$ to get a decent amount of the figs you want isn't that awesome.

Darth Jar Jar: I think nobody wouldn't like to have another Endor set, but you could say that one set containing all the important stuff is enough.

Since the BoN and the Echo Base each feature an exculsive fig(Tauntaun&Jar Jar), a new camo Luke would be a perfect reason for TLG to make a new Endor set. It would sell like hell if it contained a new Luke and some Rebel Commandos. After all, the thing TLG is most interested in is money ;)

That's the problem, 10 Rebels and 10 Imperials wouldn't be enough for a big battle. The ratio of 1 bunker to 1 AT-ST to 2 soldiers is wrong if you want a realistic fight. It would look stupid to have that many walkers and catapults with only a few troops.

But whatever happens, we will get a new Endor set soon enough, especially since BoE should be out of production by now. If we don't get anything in 2011, there's still the very probably Endor BPs for 2012.

Yellow skin Luke? I guess you could use the torso.

No, just saying there's nothing wrong with the old one.

Honestly, I think they did everything they could for that set at that price. More that one Rebel soldier, more than one Imperial trooper, someone to man each vehicle, all the heroes that were on the ground (minus C-3PO, remember, Luke was on the DS2 during the battle), and one of each of the main types of Ewoks. (Paploo is brown, Chirpa is grey, and Wicket is Wicket) But this whole discussion is off-topic, you know.

Yeah, and it's the only Endor torso that isn't decked out with grenades or models a female figure.

Yeah, I also wnated thats et, but by the time I found out about it it was too late. Personally, this new Endor set should have him.

I honestly never noticed.. Really, I have to take a closer look at my minifigs. (I also belong to the people that never noticed by themselves that there are 2 different torsos - round edges and so..)

Anyway, good discussion here, guys. I guess you all got my point. I think we got a bit lazy sometimes in what we want for new sets. One new fig makes us happy already, you know?

[Brickdoctor]

IMO, I don't think Luke should have been included. At the time of the Battle of Endor, he was on the DS2, and before it he was 'captured' by Imperials. His inclusion in the DS and Imperial Shuttle sets to represent those events makes more sense than sticking him in the Battle of Endor- even if I have nothing against and extra minifig.

"It's a trap!"

"And I thought they smelled bad on the outside..."

Now all we need is-

"I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee!"

"Now, Viceroy, we will discuss a new treaty!"

"You call this a diplomatic solution?"

EDIT: Don't turn this into a 'What minifig do we need" discussion!

Hmm,on Ebay i see all of the 2011 LSW sets , except this special/limited edition.

''I must be Frank your Majesty''

But we already have his minifig. Sort of.

Remember, this is not a 'What minifig do we need' topic.

Course not. The special edition set hasn't been released. I'm still guessing March/Spring release, like the Swamp Speeder.

I know that- it's why I wasn't upset with him being excluded there. i'm just saying the new one should have him.
