-JD- Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 When I saw the price for the V-Wing I immediately thought it must be bigger or have more figures. Perhaps it'll go like the TRI-Fighter, the original £6 and the new version £25 with two more figres and a larger nicer looking ship. Hopefully the pilot might be a black deco version of the one from Palpie's Shuttle instead of white. The Bounty Hunter gunship may also be a set from TFUII, we know that Boba is in it, so maybe other Bounty Hunters are too? Quote
Zenox Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Mandalorians?! Sweet! Gotta love what TLG has planned for 2011.. Time to start saving... Quote
wesker Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 The lineup for 2011 doesn't look too good so far. I wonder what minifigs they would put in The Battle of Naboo. I don't think TLC should make a V-Wing Star fighter perhaps they could do a droid fighter of some kind??? I hope we get some main characters. Army builders are nice and all but its been so long since we got a Padme figure and the others can do with an upgrade to fit in with the new style OT figs. Quote
DarthSion Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I cant imagine why the V-wing would be a TFU2 set, i thought the v wings were used by the rebels, either way, unless starkiller uses it to escape Kamino, tie fighters i could understand as he fight them on Kamino, but V-wing?. Neither can I see Boba even as a kid in a bounty hunter ship as they gave us Boba in the slave 1, its more likely Sugi's ship, which is best one, especially if it has Embo. Quote

Neither can I see Boba even as a kid in a bounty hunter ship as they gave us Boba in the slave 1, its more likely Sugi's ship, which is best one, especially if it has Embo. The more prominant and well known V-wing was used by the republic, late in the clone wars, which then became the Empire after order 66. TFU2 is set in early Imperial times which is why people think that it would be a TFU2 set (which is a very good idea so whoever came up with it... nice one ) The V-wing used by the rebels has not appeared as much and is only used by the rebels so this set is pretty clearly referring to the Alpha-3 Nimbus-class model. I am pretty sure with the release of a death watch battle pack, that the bounty hunter ship will be the death watch ships used in episode 12 and 14 of the clone wars: Thanks for reading, Batman1± Quote
-JD- Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I believe the Rebels used A-Wing, B-Wing and X-Wing fighters and the Empire originally the V-Wings, then using the TIE engine from that in the new TIE Fighters. V-Wing Empire Era ref picture: V-Wing Pilot Empire Era ref picture: Quote
J4ke Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 It's about time the V-Wing got a re-release. Personally, I can see Battle for Naboo being a Flash/Gian Speeder, the Jedi, Padme and a couple of battledroids, with a front of building. Just... more fleshed out than my description, ahaha. Quote

Penitent Tangent Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Embo would make a nice new bounty hunter MF, if the bounty hunter ship is based on that episode. But considering these new bounty hunters (Sugi's band) are relatively less popular than Bane's gang, I would assume this bounty hunter gunship will be based on Bane's bounty hunter crew and we could have the more anticipated Aurra Sing fig, which is better than an Embo fig, IMO. Was Aurra Sing not in that episode too? I agree that a fig of her would be better, but it'd be even better if they could do both of them :) Quote
CMP Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I found something on Wookiepedia which I now believe might be the ship in the Mandalorian battlepack. Here it is. Not to mention it was also in the Death Watch episode itself. Quote
Ogre Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Oh yeah, which BP's "USED TO BE and that's what they SHOULD BE"? Not SW specific ones (sorry for the confusion). I was referring to the old battle packs, from way back (before they disappeared). Anywhere from two to six figures (depending on whether boxed, or blister packed) in the Space, Castle and Town lines. No other junk in the packs, just figs and their accessories. Quote
The Nightwing Reborn Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) I found something on Wookiepedia which I now believe might be the ship in the Mandalorian battlepack. Here it is. Not to mention it was also in the Death Watch episode itself. In this case, I hope they just make up a vehicle for them. I have my concerns with lego being able to pull off the look. The whole back end's angle is very abnormal and would have to have a hefty front to keep it's back off the ground. Thank you for the images, Jammiedodger714. I would love a Clone Pilot with Utapau shadow deco. Hopefully lego changes the color of their astromech head on their V-Wing. Oh and judging by the state of the Death Star on that packaging it could very well be a TFU set. Edited August 6, 2010 by The Nightwing Reborn Quote

Yeah those were the days First post has been updated with rumored CAD and USD prices. Plus a little face-lift Quote
Dr.Butcher Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 No OT - no buy (but sure, these sets seem to be a must-have for fans of CW and NT). I'm looking forward for other 2011 sets. Quote
TheBrickHitHouse Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 3 man battle pack - are they joking?! I want a galactic marine! Quote
Delta 38 Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 When I saw the price for the V-Wing I immediately thought it must be bigger or have more figures. I hope that's the case. Oh, so there is an Imperial V-Wing. I hope it comes with a (full) astromech figure. I sort of collect them, and personally I dislike just having their heads... Quote
KimT Posted August 6, 2010 Author Posted August 6, 2010 3 man battle pack - are they joking?! I want a galactic marine! It's just rumors - take it easy Quote
legowill1 Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 GASP!! These are awsome!!! I have to buy these battle packs I hope that the new boba fett comes in a cheaper set next year! Quote
RoflWafls Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I hope that the new boba fett comes in a cheaper set next year! I don't, it ruins the value of it, and thats why everyone hates magnet sets Quote
mordatre Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 With that Mando-pack all kids could have their own Jango Fett because of it´s similar colours (blue/silver). Wich is great news for my kids! :) Quote
lightningtiger Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Hey everyone if you go to Lego.com....go and check out the trailer for Lego Star wars III - Clone Wars.....pause it towards the end and you'll see a CW Padme with a new design of small blaster. Now in the Mando BP that speeder bike is a piece of cake for lego to make, in fact you can see all the components are currently available to them so no special parts to be made. If it is only a 3 pack of figures, that might explain the lower price....this year's BP's hit over 22 dollars in some shops. Knowing that kids buy these Lego might have realised that pocket money might not go as far as it did years ago. I'm a conformist! Quote
CMP Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I wish Lego did what Playmobil does...make packs of 3 figures with accessories for about $5. Quote

Knowing that kids buy these Lego might have realised that pocket money might not go as far as it did years ago. Well, actually, they are the same price as this year's Hoth BPs. If there are 3 figs, I'm expecting better vehicles. Quote
sok117 Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 I wish Lego did what Playmobil does...make packs of 3 figures with accessories for about $5. Well they did, for a short while you could get three characters with a display and a card for a background. Quote
