Derek Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Holy cow! It looks like 2011 is one of the best years EVER as far as SW figures go! So many great new figures, especially Episode 1 characters and Jedi! I'm also glad to get a Ventress in a smaller set because I've always wanted her but couldn't bring myself to buy the Republic Gunship. After 2011, Lego is going to run out of Jedi figures to make... -Derek (P.S.- I'm willing to bet on Endor battle packs for 2012 ) Quote

(P.S.- I'm willing to bet on Endor battle packs for 2012 ) I hope they do. Then I can stop buying PT/CW sets for 'figs I missed during the first releases. Think we're all willing to bet on the Endor BPs. Quote

Ritz Brick Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Look at the Ewok Attack, theres a little catapult, but beneath that there seems to be a log dropping mechanism, to the right of the black ewok Quote
Brickdoctor Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Maybe it's time for Jedi Bob to get a makeover.... Our only generic Jedi? Hopefully he remains untainted by the CW treatment. I don't see TLG redoing him, anyways. Quote

Ritz Brick Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 3 probe droids in Infiltator again and can anyone explain to me why obi wan is in the podrace set? I don't remember him being there. Quote

He wasn't. No association whatsoever. On a side note, I'm kinda disappointed they didn't give us an eopie in the pod set. Quote

Oh, and just for you Mr OT lover and ewok catapult hater. Look again at the bottom portion of the catapult thing. Quote
Super Brick Collector Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 I most say Im really impressed with the 2011 summer sets, they look amazin so far cant wait to see better pics. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 a what? Oh, and just for you Mr OT lover and ewok catapult hater. Look again at the bottom portion of the catapult thing. An eopie. The four legged thing that poops near Jar-Jar at the beginning of the race. Essential part of Tatooine wildlife. And what's this about hating catapults and something at the bottom of the art? Quote

Look to the right of the ewok. Theres some logs rolling out. We get our wish of Ewok Traps. (Kidding about catapult hating) Quote

Theres some logs rolling out. We get our wish of Ewok Traps. (Kidding about catapult hating) Ah. The trap looks okay, the tree looks okay, and the catapult looks like one of those mini thingies from Kingdoms/Castle. My major gripe with the traps is that the rolling logs were used against AT-STs, and if they are just going to give use 74-Zs, I'd have liked to see another tree with a vine strung between the two landscape elements to whack the scout off the bike. Or one of the other scout-killing defenses. But, oh well, the two new Ewoks make up for that. Quote
Ritz Brick Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 So does anyone have any ideas on how much these things might cost? Other than the MF? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 So does anyone have any ideas on how much these things might cost? Other than the MF? Ewok Attack-$24.99 Dathomir Speeder-$24.99 Geonosian Starfighter-$29.99 Sith Infiltrator-$49.99 Anakin's and Sebulba's Podracers-$79.99 Republic Frigate-$119.99 Millenium Falcon-$139.99 Advent Calendar, Echo Base, and the N-1 are all unknown. Via the first post of this topic. Quote
Fallenangel Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Well, there could be a tall white thing in the minifig box on the frigate, but that could also be a Clone who looks sort of morphed with the explosion that's partially obscured byt the box for the figure lineup. I think the latter is much more likely. As for Padme in the Infiltrator, I'm really not seeing it. There are three figures in the fig-lineup on the front, and none of them are blue nor look like a Padme outfit to me. One of them is clearly Maul, but as for the other two, who knows. They don't have the tan robes of Jedi, so I honestly have no guesses. I'm also wondering if they're putting the Greedo kid in the Podrace set. It certainly looks like it, since there is a short guy with a green, weird-looking head, but it's not typical of them to put such obscure characters. Maybe Padme is in that set, since there's a fifth figure, but also maybe not. We'll see. I can certainly make out Asajj and Anakin in the Dathomir speeder, and I wouldn't be surprised if the third fig is Savage. As somebody mentioned, that could be a big battle axe. The Falcon is certainly ANH; looks like Vader, Han, Luke, Chewie, Obi-Wan, and Leia. A good classic lineup to come with the Falcon, in my opinion. for those of you wanting better here they are in this photo stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/57449914@N04/with/5288344749/ ewok attack: one scout troper, two ewoks! geonsion star fighter: geonsion, ki adi mundo new head mold, clone cammander dathomir speeder: ventress, savage new head mold, anikian the podracers: obi-wan, young greedo, young anikian, sebulba, watto sith influtrater: huge, darth maul new head mold, qui-gon, padma, panka million falcon: darth vader, han solo, chewie, luke, leia, obi wan frigate: yoda vos, a new jedi whose name i do not know, two different clone troupers. I'm out of it for a little while, everyone gets delusions of grandeur. Having made considerable progress on Version 8, I thought I'd see what I'd missed after two (three?) days of not reading the Rumours thread. To be honest, I was surprised at the small number of comments on my WIP, some of which were lacking in substance (seeing how much I have to say on others' MOCs, I figured others would do the same for me - thanks Brickdoctor KielDaMan and Walter Kovacs) but now I understand that everyone was simply too preoccupied with current events. (Right...?) With pictures of the long-awaited fall line, I'm a bit surprised that most of the conversation is about the minifigures. What about the ships guys? Isn't that most of what we're paying for? Before I say anything else, that Falcon is a major disappointment. After seeing the post-UCS remakes of the X-wing, T-47, and Y-wing, I'm shocked at what they haven't fixed. Namely, that cockpit - it looks almost exactly the same. And from the angle, the mandibles aren't much to look at either. The docking ring and part of the upper hull appear to be built the same way as the previous rendition, and even the 3x3 pieces for the holes in the mandibles are the same. Granted, there does seem to be some improvement in the rear, but it's not very clear. Besides, you would think that when improving a set they would start with the biggest mistakes. (See what I did there?) It is true that these are preliminary pictures, so I guess I shouldn't be complaining, but based on what I've seen, this may join the 6212 X-wing as one of my most hated LEGO sets. And to jump into the minifigure discussion, that bothers me a bit as well. Remember what I said earlier? Remember, $150 doesn't mean the same 4504 Falcon with more minifigures... or at least I hope it doesn't. The only minifigures I can clearly make out are Vader, Han, Chewie, Ben, and Leia. I see TIE lasers to the left of the ship, so I'm assuming this represents the escape from the Death Star. Given that assumption, what the heck is the point of including Ben and Vader?! Both were already available in cheaper sets (Ben in the X-34, Vader in his TIE Advanced x1). With six, this has more minifigures than the previous rendition. And Artoo is nowhere to be seen - wasn't Artoo the reason they were making this trip in the first place?! I see that they haven't fixed the fat middle section of the Consular. I must agree that the front really doesn't look all that different from the last rendition. Seeing as Brickset are reliable then I have to say :BOO! Seriously how many Hoth Echo Base's do we need in Recent Years. The Naboo Fighter is a good set to make but seriously that means another decent PT or CW set wasted for another Lame Hoth Echo Base set and most ones aren't even of the Base themself Even though I admit 7666, 7749, and the T-47 in 8089 were certainly below expectations, I disagree with that statement, especially since the entire first half of 2011 and a significant portion of the last three years have yielded Neo-Clone Wars sets and their offending minifigures. By the way Brickdoctor, the folding panels on the Scimitar are supposed to be curved. With all the discussion about minifigures, it doesn't look like anyone's pointed that out. (The offending aspect of the panels on the last rendition is that there was also a long straight bit where the large curved pieces attached to the click hinges, which kills the look of the ship completely.) Unlike the Consular and the Falcon, there does seem to be some substantial improvement on this model. Still, I don't really see the point of this set other than a way to introduce new minifigures. I mean, what the heck did this thing even DO? It's not like the Slave I, which actually did something significant (found and transported Solo's body to Jabba the Hutt despite being boarded and mostly blown up in the process - see Shadows of the Empire). Dooku's NEW apprentice? Whatever happened to Grievous? An eopie. The four legged thing that poops near Jar-Jar at the beginning of the race. Essential part of Tatooine wildlife. :laugh: Ooh, a Nantex! Haven't had one of those in a while. Finally, we get something to pit our V-19s against! (Not that I could actually afford that set...) Hooray for Ewok traps! Though I don't see an AT-ST. There does appear to be a nondescript grey thing at the far left, but I'm going to assume that's part of the box art. Might I ask who the minifigure with the top hat might be in the grey thing to the left of the Ewok Attack set? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 I wouldn't think that the grey blob is an AT-ST, since no driver minifig is included. Personally, I think the Falcon doesn't look that bad, but without a single exclusive minifig, it's a pass for me. I own all of them already, save for Vader, but I have him as a chromie. I'd say Dooku's had more than his fair share of 'new apprentices'. At least Palpatine picked good apprentices. Quote
RileyC Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Freakin' sweet! The only set I can see myself not buying is the frigate. It just doesnt appeal to me really. But all the others are spectacular! It seems like with this wave Lego has a few smaller sets but with amazing minifigs. The ewok attack set looks great! The ewoks are a nice change to the others and its good Lego arent reusing them. You cant really have enough scout troopers so he is a nice inclusion and you cant have an Endor set without a scout trooper. Their little base looks good and I wonder if there is any other play features other than the log roller. The Dathomir speeder will be a really good set to get the villains. Savaage and Ventress will be a good inclusion to my separatist army. I cant wait for a close up of Savaage and Maul's head piece with the spikes. Will it be a brand new type of head of just a hair piece? It looks like Ventress has a new dress piece on her as well which saves us from getting the piece of cloth again! The Geonosian Starfighter looks ok. Ki adi mundi will look fantastic and its awesome we get Cody again. I do wonder who the greeen dude is? The ship looks ok, not super fantastic like some of the others but pretty solid. I think it would look good beside Dooku's Starfighter. The Podracing set looks fantastic! Im so happy they are remaking this set and they havent cut corners at all. The podracers really do look like the source material and so do most of the new minifigs. It definitely is Obi Wan in the set because on the box art he is wearing a hood and on the minifig panel he has a blue lightsabre. So they cancel out the possibility of being Qui Gon. Young greedo is a nice addition and certainly will be nice. Is it a possibility that they are leading up to a new Greedo with the head? Anakin looks like he is wearing his helmet so I hope for a new mould and print. It would look awesome with a new print. Watto just seems to be his old body piece just painted. They did the same thing with Jar Jar so I am hoping for the same wonderful results. Would be nice if they included a pit droid though The Sith infiltrator is sadly a must buy. I bought the latest infiltrator when it came out. However this set trumps it by far. The inclusion of Qui Gon is awesome and I cant wait to get my hands on him. I hope Lego doesnt muck up his head like the republic cruiser though . Its fantastic we are getting a new Padme. Sure she may not be in the scene they are recreating but I dont care, I just want a new Padme and Im super happy! Captain Panaka looks good and its seems they are reusing the Hoth head piece. I cant wait to see how that turns out. The ship though looks huge, a massive new cockpit so I hope Maul doesnt have to ride is speeder while piloting. A definite get for me The Frigate looks average. Cool jedi but the ship seems lackluster and boring. I hope it has some nice play features to go with it and a nice interior or this will not be on my list. I really want to know your guys opinions on it though! The MF looks amazing. Sure it may not be really proportion that well but it seems like it will have a big interior. I hope it has the same opening mechanism as the old system scaled one. I cant complain about the minifigs. Sure obi wan and Vader may not have been in the scene but they were fighting outside it so Im guessing that's lego's angle for including them. I cant wait to get my hands on Leia. I missed out on the Tantive so she is a must get in her robe. Disappointing there is no C3PO or R2D2 but they are pretty easy to get now anyway. Its cool chewie has his bowcaster cause I need him with it, I dont collect castle so I dont have one. Thanks so much for the pics! I just know these will be highly talked about after chirstmas Quote

The Tantive IV isn't discontinued yet; so if you just want Leia you could get that instead and get the droids, too. Quote
Cloney Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Oh My GOD!!!! I must get all these sets because these pics are just amazing!! the only thing that might stop me is the space in my room, i only have room for 1 more large set. :( Can someone give me ideas on how i could still manage to get it and fit them perhaps? :/ Quote

Perhaps if you don't mind, you could take some pics of the display, and post them in the Show Your Army topic, they'd be better there. Sorry, I'm not a CW watcher, so can anyone tell me if the Dathomir speeder has appeared there? and if so, how does it compare? It looks pretty rough and blocky to me. Quote
Oky Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 for those of you wanting better here they are in this photo stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/57449914@N04/with/5288344749/ Figures. I sit down an hour trying to enhance blurry photos and then some hotshot like you comes along with hi-res pics. Just kidding. Thanks a lot! Do my eyes deceive me? Is it possible? Could it be? TLG are finally releasing a Padme again!!! These sets look great! A dream come true for PT fans, especially those who missed out on the first Ep.I sets! Looks like we're finally getting a Zabrak head mold and not only for Savage Oppress, but also for Darth Maul and Eeth Koth / Agen Kolar (if that's who the other Jedi in the frigate is) as well! However, what I find even more exciting is that we get a printed Watto, an overhauled Sebulba, and an improved podrace-helmet Anakin with the podrace set. Looks like they used a rebel pilot head for Anakin, but I'm sure he'll have a new head with his goggles printed on it, possibly even a double sided one with a non-goggle version on the other side. Ki Adi is also a sight for sore eyes, but I hope the other figs in that set will change in the final version. It would be pretty weird if it came with Cody and a green Geonosian. As for the sets themselves, they look very good! Geo-fighter, Frigate, Infiltrator, and both podracers all seem like huge improvements over their predecessors! The Power Miners wheels work surprisingly well on Sebulba's pod, Anakins yellow break flaps are at the right angle, and Sith Infiltrator actually looks decent for once! I think we can even hope for interior since the front of it looks like that of the Venator. I just wonder how the podracers will hold together this time around. I couldn't care less about the OT sets. There are no new minifigs, the Millenium Falcon looks nearly exactly like the last version (which I already have) and the Ewok Attack just looks lame. The Speederbike doesn't even look accurate with that piece they used in front of the handlebars. Either way, looking at what you get, I hope the prices in the first post are wrong because they seem too high. But then again, this wouldn't be the first time the prices for SW sets don't seem suitable. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Sorry, I'm not a CW watcher, so can anyone tell me if the Dathomir speeder has appeared there? and if so, how does it compare? It looks pretty rough and blocky to me. Nope not yet, it is scheduled to appear in the first episode in the resumption of the series in January. Even as CW fan, based on the shape of that thing in those pics it sure does look . Quote

But I really want the MF and I have too many artoos and a C3PO so it would just be wasted money really IMO. Quote
