commanderneyo Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Don't forget that wierd alien fella. Nien Numb Quote
captainkeeli Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Thank you finally someone agrees with me that it is Commander Wolffe Did'nt we already decide that it was Commander Wolffe a while ago? Quote
General Magma Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Nien Numb Nien Nunb. He is in no way associated to Ten Numb, other than them being of the same species: they aren't family of each other. Did'nt we already decide that it was Commander Wolffe a while ago? No. We do not know whether it is Wolffe or not. Some people just make out that it's a certain figure by seeing some dark bley on the arms. Let us lay down the discussion about the clonetroopers in the frigate, next month we'll know more. ~ General Magma Quote
Fives Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I think it is disappointing that, by the looks of the prelims, the probe droids in the Sith Infiltrator are the same as the first set. Just a black head with one of those steering bars (not sure what the official name of that piece is) on top. I hope that they will change by the time of the finished product. These probes are in need of some serious sprucing up. Quote

Clone OPatra Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I'm quite disappointed that there won't be one single new minifig included in this set. No new characters, that's true, but there will undoubtedly be a newly designed Leia with pupils, and it is rumored that Luke will finally have more accurate hair. Perhaps LEGO will also redesign Han's classic vest, since the old one is extremely under detailed. So, all-in-all, the Falcon will include some long-needed updates of the same characters. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 The only other person they could have would be Lando. He wouldn't be new either; just the General Lando from Home One. I think it is disappointing that, by the looks of the prelims, the probe droids in the Sith Infiltrator are the same as the first set. Just a black head with one of those steering bars (not sure what the official name of that piece is) on top. I hope that they will change by the time of the finished product. These probes are in need of some serious sprucing up. Agreed. The '08 RGS probes in black could work, albeit too big. Quote
Fives Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) No new characters, that's true, but there will undoubtedly be a newly designed Leia with pupils, and it is rumored that Luke will finally have more accurate hair. Perhaps LEGO will also redesign Han's classic vest, since the old one is extremely under detailed. So, all-in-all, the Falcon will include some long-needed updates of the same characters. Agreed. I also hope Vader has some pupils. The last time I got Vader was in his 2009 TIE Fighter set (I think it was the last time he appeared) and for some reason the face print was the same as the 2005 Vader, with no eyebrows. It really bothered me because I knew the new face print had eyebrows. Now I hope he will have eyebrows and pupils. Hopefully chewie will have printed eyes too. EDIT: sorry about the rant.

Brickdoctor Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Yea a printed chewbacca would be nice Chewbacca is printed. His bandolier is silver. But yeah, I get the point and agree, so long as he isn't redone in new plastic and new mold the way the Ewoks were. Quote
Fallenangel Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Really? I didn't noltice that. mind you, the movie didn't have a whole lot of good shots of that door. I disagree. Look around 2:00. I'm hoping they omit the door altogether - a wall and some large <insert that tiresome argument> parts doesn't really seem like an essential part of a Star Wars set. It'll be like in Jedi Defense where they threw in a door so Hasbro wouldn't complain. hmm wouldn't vader's eyebrows be burnt up? Yea a printed chewbacca would be nice Only if you're going off of the Special Editions. Of course, the fact that the bottom half of Vader's helmet (the part that doesn't come off) is currently absent on the minifigure is more of an issue for me. If LEGO fixed that, I suppose it would be one pro of having Vader with the Falcon. And I believe they also printed Chewie's nose. Why is it that people can remember Iktotchi, Rattataki, and Togruta, but not something as straightforward as Sullustan? Quote
brickbuilder Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Why is it that people can remember Iktotchi, Rattataki, and Togruta, but not something as straightforward as Sullustan? Just because Sullustan is OT doesn't make it straightforward. Not everyone is geared towards OT. Quote
sok117 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Why is it that people can remember Iktotchi, Rattataki, and Togruta, but not something as straightforward as Sullustan? I only know Togruta and Sullustan out of those, mainly because of nien numb! Quote
Fives Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I only know Togruta and Sullustan out of those, mainly because of nien numb! Iktotchi is Saesee Tinn's species and Rattataki is Asajj Ventress's species. Just so you know... Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Just because Sullustan is OT doesn't make it straightforward. Not everyone is geared towards OT. It's more straight-forward than Iktochi, Togruta, or Rattataki. Out of the four, Sullust is the only planet mentioned in the saga. I only know Togruta and Sullustan out of those, mainly because of nien numb! Nunb. Anyways, back on topic: I can't decide whether I want Vader to change. He could use a two-part mask with a better angle on the flange, but like Chewbacca, it's a mold that is purely and simply Classic Star Wars. Not something I really want to go away. Quote

I'd be fine with a new Chewie, but I think Vader is too iconic to change. I think Vaderis perfect as he is, even though he's missing that chin guard thingy. Quote

I think Vaderis perfect as he is, even though he's missing that chin guard thingy. Ya, the piece itself is fine. I've just always thought it would be cool if TLG could separate into two parts: mask and helmet. But I have no idea how that would work. Quote
Derek Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Ya, the piece itself is fine. I've just always thought it would be cool if TLG could separate into two parts: mask and helmet. But I have no idea how that would work. That would be kinda cool- take the mask part and put it under the head like a beard, and the helmet on top of the head. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 That would be kinda cool- take the mask part and put it under the head like a beard, and the helmet on top of the head. Yep. Either that, or if the mask's bottom half (the respirator) were printed onto the head, the neck would appear black under the helmet, the mask would be visible with helmet removed, and the helmet could stay the same. But then the mask wouldn't be removable. If in the case that TLG does make a separate mask attaching in that way, though, I might also like to see them apply the principle to the Tuskens. Quote
DarthSion Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I want them to do Chrome Vader design, not him made of Chrome but that details are the best by far, his suit looks very accurate in that design. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I want them to do Chrome Vader design, not him made of Chrome but that details are the best by far, his suit looks very accurate in that design. Isn't that just a chromed version of the new Vader? Quote
Ceroknight Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I want them to do Chrome Vader design, not him made of Chrome but that details are the best by far, his suit looks very accurate in that design. I thought it was the same design as the one in the recent TIE Advanced..if not I am really upset I missed that promotion Quote
Fallenangel Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Just because Sullustan is OT doesn't make it straightforward. Not everyone is geared towards OT. Not because it's from the Original Trilogy. I can remember Naboo, Kaminoan, Geonosian, and Utapaun just fine. (Because the names of the worlds were mentioned in the films.) Neimoidian, Dug, Gungan, Muun, and Kaleesh are also quite familiar to me. (As well as Coruscanti, but that world was first introduced in Heir to the Empire.) In contrast, I had to look up all three of those species' names when I first heard them mentioned. It's more straight-forward than Iktochi, Togruta, or Rattataki. Out of the four, Sullust is the only planet mentioned in the saga. There we go! That would be kinda cool- take the mask part and put it under the head like a beard, and the helmet on top of the head. Okay, maybe three parts for one helmet would be pushing it a bit... I was thinking, what if they kept the same helmet but made a mold for the neckpiece as well? That way, we'll still have the classic helmet piece but Vader won't look awkward wearing it. Quote
