uboat77 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 yeah, it does seem a shame, as it seems unlikely there would be two large OT sets scheduled for the near future... however, it DOES seem to be a lot of speculation based on an alleged link on an unnamed japanese site that even the OP can't find again.... I'm not casting aspidistras, as I realise he's been a reliable source before, it just seems the response is wildly enthusiastic for what it's based on.... Actually, someone in a Portuguese LEGO group forum reported that some catalogs already do show some info on a Palace set (wonder if that's true) but, as you, i still have my doubts about all of this, and my last post was something like "if its true, let it be like this" Well, if it's all bogus (CC and Jabba's place), LEGO better bring me an AWESOME Hoth base Quote

Well, remember how in '09 TLC realeased the Battle of Endor and the Mon Calamari cruiser? Cloud City and Jabba's Palace might be bigger than those, but anything's possible.... Quote

Cloud City and Jabba's Palace might be bigger than those, but anything's possible.... We've never had any evidence of a CC set, just a lot of wishful thinking. Quote
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) I was read this on a forum : 10224 Jabba's Palace I don't know it's real or not, but sounds awesome! Sorry , i was searching with G and ... i don't know ... sorry... i don't remember - it was japanese website or something... No offense to 'nrg,' but this sounds a little fishy. Smells like Rumor-Mongering to me. Edited March 1, 2011 by Mr. Elijah Timms Quote
BrickArtist Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 We have had what 3 rumored playsets that are not vehicles? and the only 1 we've had in the last 5 years? I think not. I'm guessing that either TLGs hiding its UCS very well, or we will be getting one of these as a massive DS replacement. My guess is a new UCS model, and the hoth base. I can't see a CC and Jabbas palace playing to the picture. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 it would be nice to get a printed Jabba and a new slave Leia on the other hand, if the Palace is true, then it means no Cloud City In both cases, that's pure speculation, not fact. We have had what 3 rumored playsets that are not vehicles? and the only 1 we've had in the last 5 years? I think not. '07 - Echo Base '09 - Echo 'Base' Home One Battle of Endor '10 - Hoth Wampa Cave Quote
BrickArtist Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 '07 - Echo Base '09 - Echo 'Base' Home One Battle of Endor '10 - Hoth Wampa Cave These rumored ones are sort of referred to as the Home one/Massive style playset. I was ruling out the ones yo listed because A: They weren't really substantial Dios like the Home one and DS. Most of those are sort of Half-Way-There play features, like the wampa cave. B: One could argue that echo base 2 wasn't even really a Dio set, It was like 5 figs, a gun, a Taun-Taun, and a turret-Doesn't remotely compare to the home one. Quote
StoutFiles Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 In both cases, that's pure speculation, not fact. '07 - Echo Base '09 - Echo 'Base' Home One Battle of Endor '10 - Hoth Wampa Cave In Dobby's defense, only the '09 Echo Base didn't include a vehicle. Quote
BrickArtist Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 In Dobby's defense, only the '09 Echo Base didn't include a vehicle. And as I stated-There is no way TLG would/could/should release anything to do with JP,CC, or a real hoth base with that amount of parts, and 1 new minifig. Quote
Silverface Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 They are very nice! The set 7957 is something that I don't really understand and the Republic frigate is one star wars set more where all dimensions are wrong, well it would be very difficult for Lego to make them right. Thanks! Quote
Brickadeer Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 In Dobby's defense, only the '09 Echo Base didn't include a vehicle. Well, isn't a Taun Taun, of course in a purely functional sense, a vehicle? Quote
StoutFiles Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Well, isn't a Taun Taun, of course in a purely functional sense, a vehicle? Haha I guess. I'd say it's a better sleeping device than a vehicle though. Quote
Ceroknight Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Where did you get that? thinkgeek.com, lots of cool stuff there Quote
commanderneyo Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I found a couple of rumored Exclusive sets (Possibly coming out by the end of the year) on Rebelscum Forum http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=4504105&page=0&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=3&vc=1&PHPSESSID= I have heard a couple of exclusive rumors that might come out by the end of this year.7985 Republic Stun Tank Figures: (3) Obi-Wan (Season 3 Outfit) ARF Trooper (not lightning Squadron but my source doesn't know which of the other ARF's it is) and Clone Commander Jet. 7986 Yodas Hut Figures: (3) Yoda, R2-D2 and Luke Skywalker (swamp gear), my source also says that a Lego version of that creature that got R2 in Empire Strikes Back will be included, no word on an X-wing being included or not... Sorry if this turns out to be false Quote
General Magma Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Sounds interesting, thanks for the new information. Fingers crossed for a new Yoda... Also, this would most likely be the Stun Tank: ~ General Magma Quote
commanderneyo Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Sounds interesting, thanks for the new information. Fingers crossed for a new Yoda... Also, this would most likely be the Stun Tank: *Snip* Yeah that would be the Stun Tank. This would be one of the few OT sets in recent years I would have any interest in getting (Other than the Battle For Endor and the upcoming Ewok Attack) and that creature if the set is true and the creature is included would be a great bonus as well. Quote
j30spiff Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Isn't the Stun Tank the same as the Republic Fighter Tank but with the big turret? That's how it looks to me. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Wasn't the stun tank on one of those fake set lists that we saw a couple months back? He doesn't say where he heard it from; that could just be a rumor that's going in circles. Quote
commanderneyo Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 He doesn't say where he heard it from; that could just be a rumor that's going in circles. I can vouch for this guy. Already out of this years Hasbro Figures he has got all of (Anakin, Ahsoka, Wolffe, Eeth Koth, Barriss Offee and ARC Commander Colt) right plus Castas with Speeder Bike in the Figure+ Vehicle Packs not to mention over 20 figures right last year plus out of Lego sets last year he got the exclusive Cad Bane's speeder right so he is at least partly reliable... Of course that still doesn't mean this guy is totally correct or totally wrong. Quote
uboat77 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 well, that's all this thread all about: rumors regarding the Stun Tank, as not being part of the OT, it doesn't interest me much, and i find the design on it simply horrible the bulbous turret thingy is..just ugly as for Yoda's hut, it does seem like a plausible set to introduce, as the first one is getting pretty old...but i have the feeling, if LEGO would release something like that, it would turn out to be like the latest Hoth Battle set, a simple scenario with a prop or two, and no X-Wing on it.

Zzz Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I am sorry not to have too much time in the moment, so can we list all the rumours (I would say N-1 is kind of confirmed, right?) - Echo Base (it's on brickset and I even posted it here but should be still treated as a rumour) - Stun Tank - Jabbas Palace - Cloud City that's all? Pretty OT-ish in my book. Any other CW or PT rumours? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 (I would say N-1 is kind of confirmed, right?) Yeah, given that we've seen the minifigs. - Echo Base (it's on brickset and I even posted it here but should be still treated as a rumour) - Stun Tank - Jabbas Palace - Cloud City that's all? Pretty OT-ish in my book. Any other CW or PT rumours? You missed the Yoda's Hut rumor. Quote
Zzz Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 You missed the Yoda's Hut rumor. Right. In my mind it was, not in my post ; ) So even more OTish... Quote
Fives Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Wow, more rumours! The stun tank sounds interesting, and with the amount of figs being that low (and that awesome!) this should probably be a pretty cheap set. As for Yoda's Hut... YAY! This will be great! Probably a new Yoda (at least a printed head) and the swamp monster! My guess is, seeing that this set includes a creature that isn't really big, that this set will be roughly the same size as the Hoth Wampa Cave. Quote
