prateek Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 what ever happened to that mini v-wing someone found in his set? He corrected his mistake by saying was a V-19, not a V-Wing Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Hey, I was looking at the prelim pics again; is it just me, or did TLG fix the placement of the air scoops on Anakin's pod? They look to be equally spaced and all pointed towards the center now. Quote

Delta 38 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 In the land of Oz 3-in-1 packs are the domain of TRU ! (Again) May the brick be with TRU....oops, sorry....you ! I didn't know that those packs were even available here. Hmm. I still don't think my chances of finding one are too high (I went to TRU two times recently, and both times, the store had no new stock at all). I'll just buy individually for the moment. Quote
Masked Builder Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Boy that 3-in1 pack is lookin' good! I'd love to get one..... Quote
giggitygoo Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Since George Lucas has announced (and we are still waiting for) His 2 new Star Wars shows, i wonder if they would inspire into Lego Sets The 2 shows would be the 1. Live Action Show which was said to have Boba Fett as a character 2. The Cartoon/Comedy show which has Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, C3PO and R2D2 Out of the 2 though the Live Action show would be more likely for Lego (Even though more OT sets would be more than welcome) Quote

Can you pm me more info about these please? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Out of the 2 though the Live Action show would be more likely for Lego (Even though more OT sets would be more than welcome) Agreed! Personally, I'm torn, sets based on the cartoon would have the OT heroes, but it might encourage TLG to further create cartoonish figures. The live-action one, on the other hand, doesn't promise many appearances of the main characters. And I think this would be a discussion for the 'Future Star Wars Sets' thread, since it's not going to happen in 2011. Quote

With the OT characters? Quote
giggitygoo Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 For Anyone Curious: Cartoon: http://www.starwars.com/fans/media/newseries_announcement/index.html And it looks like the Live Action Show is on hold, since its too expensive But anyways lets get back on topic I personally think it would be great to get a Cloud City but although some of you would kill me for saying it, id rather it not be as big as the Death Star as it would really harm my wallet Then again thinking of it the size of the Death Star Quote

With all the new minifigs coming out in Summer 2011, I'd prefer for it (if released) to be $250 or less. Quote

Seeing as it will likely be the last Cloud City we'll ever see, I'd prefer them to go all out and hit 400 bucks. Same basic design as the Death Star; keep the shape of the city with scenes inside.

DarthSion Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Oh my, TLG is finely being smart for once, never understood why they made SBP months after the sets are released. Quote
KingDom Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I don't see why people get so excited with 3 in 1 packs. We can allready buy everything so what's the fuss about? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I don't see why people get so excited with 3 in 1 packs. We can allready buy everything so what's the fuss about? I'm with you there. It is something to gaze at while we wait for Toy Fair, though. Quote
BrickArtist Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I don't see why people get so excited with 3 in 1 packs. We can allready buy everything so what's the fuss about? Collectors feast off them as they are very limited. It's also sort of convenient I suppose. Quote
Destroydacre Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) I don't see why people get so excited with 3 in 1 packs. We can allready buy everything so what's the fuss about? I'm pretty sure too that last year the one with the Swamp Speeder was more expensive than if you bought all 3 sets individually. And I thought buying in bulk was supposed to save money. I've honestly never seen any of the super packs in person and I don't even have a clue where to get them retail. So they don't matter much to me either. They sure are expensive on bricklink though, WOW! Edited January 21, 2011 by Destroydacre Quote
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Seeing as it will likely be the last Cloud City we'll ever see, I'd prefer them to go all out and hit 400 bucks. Same basic design as the Death Star; keep the shape of the city with scenes inside. Wild mass guessing time! There were many clues directing to a Cloud City Playset that I always wanted to point those out. Well, the topic is labled as rumors, I hope theories count for that, too. * The UCS Deathstar seems to be AWESOME and very popular, I can´t see why LEGO would pass a second chance for a mega-vignette/playset monster, even though the company has a problem for releasing playsets that it seems a playset killed its parents. * I think KimT had this in the 2010 Rumor thread for quite a long time in its first post (it isn´t there anymore) but you all should know how trustfull he is. * 2010 was announced as the huge "Empire" year but it didn´t really pay off. Except Slave One every Empire set was related to Hoth and even then most of them were simple redesigns with small alterations to former products. It seems a little incomplete und not really a movie year when all your products are based on a single scene. A Cloud CIty would have balanced this out. But why didn´t they release it in 2010? Weeell... * The UCS Jedi Starfighter is probably the most blandest UCS set you all have ever seen. It made so bad in sales, the S@H had the price reduced for a THIRD in just A MONTH after the release. Normally they do this with UCS sets only after three years when they want to discount a set. The discussion topics indicate that it is unpopular because of the bad choice for a model. The simple design choice seems to come because they had less time than normal. Maybe the Cloud City was intended for a 2010 release but was canceled or put on the shelf when it became apparent that they can´t produce it in time for a release this year. The JSF was a fast and easy choice, the design process should be much shorter than with a 400 bucks monstrosity with countless functions and stability questions. It also would explain the release during October/November. It probably was produced in the last minute for a christmas shopping release. You might say: This all shows that it WAS intended for a release in the past, so why should it still come out and not be rejected? * There seems to be a void for OT sets. I guess LEGO is aware of the multiple types of buyers the LSW line has. Some people buy it all, of course, but there are some that only buy OT, or only movie stuff or only CW sets. Falcon, Ewok Attack and AGAIN a DARN Hoth Base. You remember when the Death Star was put out? It was in 2008: The first half was only PT stuff, the Stormie/Tantive BPs and the Rogue Shadow and the second half exclusively Clone Wars. The Death Star probably was filling the void for the people that only want to buy OT stuff, which would be 2 (or at best 3) sets. Cloud City could do this again, although the situation isn´t as bad as 2008, it still is pretty lame. * There are many parts they could use for a Cloud City playset. New Boba Fett, Bespin/shirt Han Solo and Carbonite block. I would say, TLC is pretty chary when it comes to molds. They only make some when it is really indispensable and/or if they have a high chance for reuse. My mentioned parts would all find reuse in this set. So, six points why it could be possible. I still hope for a continuation of this line, so this isn´t a completely neutral obversation, but it gets the point across that it wouldn´t be farfetched to actually have this set released, unlike what normally is rumored on the net like Jedi BPs.

MrLestrange Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 When can we have new pictures of 2011 sets? This morning, I was see the new episode of the clone wars (with opress), and I want to know if Savagg Oppress Lego as got horns, like the preliminary pictures... answer? Quote

Does anybody have links to a page that still has the Pics of the summer wave up? I need to screen-shot them on ipod before they go. Thanks! Edited January 22, 2011 by brickartist Quote

If a new mold is used in the prelims, chances are that the same shape will be used for the final product. I'm pretty sure he's going to have horns. Quote
