LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

[CMP]

This sounds more like a rumour. 'Sorry if it's false'?

We already have all the mainstream sets for this year, and I doubt there will be this many exclusives.

If Jabba's Palace is real, it's seperate, an exclusive UCS type thing. If Jabba's Palace is happening, there's no way there'll be a Cloud City. And Yoda's Hut and Stun Tank...one might be an exclusive, but that's a mighty big might.

Spot on CallMePie - SPOT ON!

"Sorry if its false" is kind of like his signature phrase. Like he doesn't want to upset people too much if it's false so he apologizes if his source is wrong. You get used to it (As long as he is partially right anyway)

[lightningtiger]

There is two other ways of reading these rumours, one is they were planned but not produced sets and two is 2012 sets....since we know what's comming except for I might say 2 sets....but there are too many rumoured sets. Though just remember Lego can be full of surprises !

What makes me scratch my head is the stun tank.....wasn't that season 2.....why is talking of season 3 figures with it ?

Maybe this might be come clearer in the near future !

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...

What I'm trying to say here is that he doesn't say where he heard about it. What if he heard it from the same place that that guy who posted the fake list here did? Then this rumor is just going to go in circles.

By the way, I did some research. And I can confirm that at least part of the stun tank rumor is false, because set 7985 already exists.

1. He didn't. The Guy your thinking of has nothing to do with the Guy on Rebelscum Forum.

EDIT: I realized you were talking about MasterWindu. That guy made up his entire wishlist appear with the rumors he claimed, i've spoken to the guy on Rebelscum like me he'd take a CW set over a OT set anyday so there is some honesty with what he said and its not totally mad like what MasterWindu put.

2. TLG has used set numbers previously more than once before.

Not recently. There haven't been conflicting set numbers for a long time.

Yeah, but only two years later ?

I say better chance of Yoda's hut than a stud tank.....but rumours are just that rumours until confirmation right ?

Quick edit - the good doctor beat me to it !

I think Commanderneyo was referring to the practice of using temporary set numbers which already exist, which are usually found in rumours.

Either way, the tank would be great, and so would Yoda's hut. If they're real, I'd prefer it if Yoda's hut didn't include an X-Wing for pricing reasons.

[Igoran]

Was it?

[Brickdoctor]

Was it?

Ew! Yeah, I just saw that on FBTB in my second tab.

So they make basically no changes to the old design, and try to get away with a blank forward panel? Even a sticker would be better than this. It just looks wrong without the viewports.

Here's a deeplinked image for you guys:

[Ceroknight]

interesting, it seems like 2011 is a year of remakes

don't know how to feel about it...

I think I'll get one of those At-Sts..when I can find them of coarse

[Aethersprite]

Sounds interesting. Though I doubt it, if those rumours are true, I wonder if the Yoda included in Yoda's hut will have the CW or OT head.

[TheBrickHitHouse]

Yoda's hut? No way - done once already and it's hardly a 'must have set'

[ADHO15]

The rumours sound pretty interesting. If they are true, does anybody think that the ARF Trooper could be a Geonosis-style trooper to accompany Jet?

If so, that seems like an odd choice of figs to put with that vehicle.

it would be good if it was a geonosian arf and commander jet

and i agree that these are odd figures for this set seeing

the stun cannons were on malestare

[Klaus-Dieter]

Thank you very much for this information, commanderneyo!

But I must say that I'm very sceptical about this news.

We already know the Hoth Echo Base and the Naboo Fighter for summer plus perhaps the Jabba's Palace Exclusive. Perhaps there'll be one more big Exclusive (UCS and/or fpr PT/CW fans) - but for sure not more.

Like it was already mentioned, the only possibility might be that these are some of the sets for early 2012. But it's very unsupposably that we get info on them already now.

I don't say that a new Yoda's hut is unsupposably. Imo it's even very supposably that we'll get one in the next years since TLG is at re-designing their classic sets. But the hut on its own would - apart from some AFOLs like me (which already own a X-Wing and don't need one more) - be completely unattractive. So if we get a new Yoda's hut it for sure will have the X-Wing included.

[Supersonic]

There are so many reasons not to believe this...

1. Yoda's Hut would make for a poor set. Most LSW sets include some kind of vehicle - but a hut? That's not interesting enough for kids (who will buy a action-heavy TCW tank over a OT diorama any day).

2. The figure in the stun tank are totally wrong.

3. The set number.

4. The fact that there is no more space for more exclusive sets, especially not in that price range.

5. KimT already (more or less) confirmed these are fake.

So no, there's no way this is real.

[DarthSion]

Oh I wonder if Yoda's hut is one of the rumoured TFU2 sets, oh maybe a small hut with starkiller and as for a vehicle rouge shadow MK2.

That'd be great!

[PocasNuckie]

IMHO the only way for a Yoda's Hut to be interesting, was if it had a E3-standard starship lifeboat (the pod Yoda uses to reach Dagobah). This and a much bigger and detailed Hut than the one seen previously.

EDIT: Well now I read Wookiepedia on the subject, I see that the Hut didn't exist when Yoda arrived, because it was him who built it. And he built it with many parts of the pod. But honestly who of the LEGO buyers will care? I honestly doubt anyone besides me knows or cares bout these kind of details.

Yes, I know the X-Wing is the most Iconic ship of the saga (probably only beaten by the Falcon), but we've had enough of them, no?

Cheers

Interesting... that's a possibility I hadn't thought of. That would fit in with the Sith sets we saw last year and would certainly be a nice variation.

I'm sure there are others who would care, fallenangel and myself immediately come to mind, but I agree that the targeted audience probably wouldn't know the difference.

On the other hand, if it was a hut with the pod as a B-model, now that could be a great set. And I say 'could' because, of course, the design has to be accurate and all and not just with the pod as a sort of afterthought.

[prateek]

That AT-ST is almost exactly the same as the old one, but without printing! Forget that.

[BrickArtist]

The way I see it is these rumors are false until they're true-right now these are false to me. I highly doubt this will make it to the 'true' stage. Everybody can conjure up set names and numbers and minifigs-But only Tlgs hi res of the real deal will convince me. At this point with all the rumored 'Exlcusives' I think we can conclude that somebody's fibbing...

[SWMAN]

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?

I would actually love if these sets were released, as I think a lot of other fans would be. There have been way too few OT sets the past few years. I totally understand that the CW is marketable right now because its on TV right now, but the OT has been kind of set on the back burners and ignored in my opinion. Plus all three of those OT sets need makeovers. Of course like everyone else has said there is very little chance of 1 of these, much less all 4, being made this year.
