Its just dawned on me, Endor is going to be what Hoth has been these past years. There's a strong relationship between the sub-themes if you will. They both started with a big set, echo base and battle of endor, then it moved to a bigger BP the hoth base for Hoth and if this list is true then the same thing is happening to Endor sets. It would get a big BP then the next year have one smaller set and finish off with a bang like Hoth did with the Wampa Cave and then the AT AT.

Just something that crossed my mind :classic:

Some of the dates must have been mistaken though. Both the Geonosis set and the Sith Infiltrator are listed as January. While I'd really like to get both (particularly the Sith Infiltrator, no matter how bad it really is), it's probably a mistake.

We write different date ( I think ). 1.6. means first of June not 6nd January :)

There is something unreliable about this retailer. This may be little off topic and long so sorry if I am just digressing. I have a suspicion that this occured: On one major auction server in the Czech republic, there was a big auction of more than 30 sets of Dooku's Solar sailer sold to only one purchaser at a very low price and within a week this hracky-kong.cz has a ¨new¨ supply of this set, but at a double price the one sold in auction, presenting it as new and from official distributor purchased. This all may be just a coincidence, but it is not the first set which was sold on this auction server and suddenly appeared on hracky-kong.cz. If it is true, I consider it at least highly unethical and thats why I think this list is dubious. On other note, I must say that Poza who I have contacted via the czech server is definitely not lying and informed you in good will.

PS: sorry for my bad english, if there is anything you dont understand, ask, I will try to explain.

well i still say it can't be true cause thats another Lego fan site like eurobricks.

I could say that the next sets are all UCSs and all over $300 and someone might post it on another site and everyone will believe its real.

I say until we see pictures of these we can't be sure

We understand. EB is an international community. We've got members who use digital translators just to post here. We also trust Poza, and never accused him of lying. He's just reporting what he found on another forum. We know that both you and Poza are posting here because you are trying to be helpful, it's just our nature as fans of a theme that's seemingly gone away from what we want to question the rumors and make sure they're true before we get our hopes up. It's also never off topic to try to clarify an argument, debate, or confusion in the appropriate forum. :classic:

Hopefully I speak for all of EB when I say that.

Do you even realize that that's basically what everybody is saying? We're all on the same side here!

This new list (or origin of it) seems to be more realistic because of the other sets listed that are known to come out. I see a few sets I haven't heard of, interesting...

Using a very basic translation, it seems that the Endor and Geonosis are both the larger battle packs that we're getting used to seeing. That's fairly good, I guess. So long as there are Ewoks, scout troopers, Endor rebels, Geonosians and clone troopers, I'm happy.

Some of the dates must have been mistaken though. Both the Geonosis set and the Sith Infiltrator are listed as January. While I'd really like to get both (particularly the Sith Infiltrator, no matter how bad it really is), it's probably a mistake.

Hmm, suddenly the focus seems to be on the first two movies. That's good, but I need more Clone Wars and Original Trilogy sets. :sceptic:

Well let me Think, Republic Frigate (CW) Geonosian starfighter and geonosian battle(CW Or AOTC) so actually it is possible that three of those six sets are CW or that only one (The Republic frigate is CW.

We write different date ( I think ). 1.6. means first of June not 6nd January :)

It said on the Czech forum though that the infiltrator and geonosis set come out on the sixth of january though.

There is 1.6.2011 . That means first of June 2011

I'm thinking that the Republic Frigate, is the CW Pelta Medical Frigate. Although it's possible that it is another Ep.1 "Republic Cruiser", that was pictured earlier. We'll see soon enough, but not soon enough for me.

Endor battlepack? That's a but dull really - let's face it, that part of ROTJ wasn't exactly blessed with exciting new vehicles and characters...

The genosis starfighter is another dull set - look at the '03 version. Doesn't even have a pilot...

Hope these rumoured sets are bs because if true they'll be the most uninspired sets yet - and yet the jan wave had such interesting (if obscure) sets...

Hmm, 2011 not looking good for SW Lego...

Maybe the Genosis and Endor battlepacks with bemore like Echo Base, a battle scene with fighters for both sides.

But yes, this is very dissapointing. I want some big sets! (I'll still be buying the Endor pack regardless)

7913 Clone Trooper Battle Pack

7914 Mandalorian Battle Pack

7915 Imperial V-Wing Starfighter

7929 The Battle of Naboo

7930 Bounty Hunter Gunship

7931 T-6 Jedi Shuttle

7956 The Battle of Endor Pack

7957 The Battle of Geonosis Pack

7959 Geonosian Starfighter

7961 Sith infiltrator

7962 Anakin's and Sebulba’s Podracers

7964 Republic Frigate

Hope these rumoured sets are bs because if true they'll be the most uninspired sets yet - and yet the jan wave had such interesting (if obscure) sets...

Uninspired, I think, is the word I was looking for to describe these. It's a completely unexpected lineup (in my opinion at least) and it really looks like LEGO just went off the ball.

Why did LEGO decide to make yet another Sith Infiltrator when the last two turned out more or less terrible? Or maybe they decided that this time they'd copy this guy next. (No offense to Reto.)

According to Wookieepedia a "Republic Frigate" is simply a repainted Consular cruiser with a couple guns slapped onto it. I'm really hoping it's not actually this thing because man it is ugly. Despite my affection for the Consular I'm not a fan of the new paintjob and besides LEGO will probably make another squashed version.

I guess a Geonosian fighter is at least halfway decent since now we actually have V-19s to confront them. (Only thing missing now is the Azure Angel...)

What's really disappointing is the fact that only one of these sets are based off something prior to 1999 - and it's an Endor set. (Didn't we already get the be-all, end-all Endor set?) Next year is the 20th anniversary of Heir to the Empire and there are no sets even vaguely reminiscient of the Thrawn Trilogy. Unless that 'Republic Frigate' is actually a Dreadnought cruiser... but that's unlikely.

Hi everyone. I've been gone and too lazy to read back a few pages. Can someone summarize what has happened in the last week or so. What is up with two BPs in one year. And to be in whole different trilogy :wacko: . This sounds like bogus to me. Two Geonosis sets plus a frigate :thumbup: Fake info :thumbdown:

Posted (edited)

The "new" line up looks really lame. What's the point in remaking old sets(yes you, sith infiltrator) that didn't sell very well. and the republic frigate better not just be a recoloured republic cruiser with crap minifigs, that would be a no-buy for me. FAKE LIST!

The second wave for 2011, if this is true, looks very disappointing compared to the first wave. I would go for a Geonosian Starfighter though, I missed the last one and want some Geonosians and some Geonosian Battle Droids. The pods would also be nice, but not if it comes with the new young Anakin, everyone's least favourite figure and if the pods also are true, Sebulba MUST be a new mould! :wink:

A couple people have gone and acquired rumored lists of the sets for the 2011 Summer wave. Both lists come from an unreliable source that is on another site, and both have portions that are more or less ridiculous. The first list included, among other things, the Endor and Geonosis BPs and Republic Cruiser.

Well, I don't know. There seems to be a lot of mixed feelings in regards to the new list.

I actually rather like it. I missed out a lot of early Star Wars sets, and I don't see what's so bad about sets like the Sith Infiltrator. This is obviously because I don't own them, but still, they can't be that bad? :tongue:

Actually, I don't mind them at all. I'm even interested in the podracers, more because they're classic vehicles than for the vehicles themselves. The Geonosis stuff would be nice to put my growing clone army against, too. To summarise, I don't have any issues with these sets if they are real. However, I hope this isn't the death of the Clone Wars, because I still need more clones.

I'm not sure if discussing all these set lists isn't just troll-feeding, but anyway...

One OT set in a year's lineup? In case it's valid, they better give us something sweet UCS/Exclusive-wise :classic:

And have we said anything about the discrepancy here:

7913 Clone Trooper Battle Pack

7914 Mandalorian Battle Pack

vs

7956 The Battle of Endor Pack

7957 The Battle of Geonosis Pack

Either the list is made up by someone who doesn't know (or bother) about how Battle Packs are normally named - they should be "Endor Trooper Battle Pack" and "Geonosians Battle Pack" or something like that, or if it is legitimate it is a different take altogether - perhaps as "The Battle of Naboo" that we know is coming. Since the two "new" sets are from different settings, they would have opposing sides in them. Rebels/Ewoks-Stormies/Scout Troopers and Clones/Jedi-Battle Droids/Geonosians (or whatever this "Battle of Geonosis" thing is :grin: ), respectively.

Well, well. Time will tell.

Thank you very much for clarifying this, commanderneyo, lightningtiger and Mr Man! :classic:

So there will only be one OT set - the Endor BP - which will be sold in regular toy shops. :sadnew:

Then let's really hope that we will actually get an exclusive Cloud City set and that this will include lots of (new) minifigures, a decent interior, many rooms, being nearly as big as the 10188 Death Star and including a System scale Cloud Car. If not (meaning if it'll be very similar in size, interior design and minifigure count like the older version), 2011 would absolutely not "rock my life" but be the most disappointed year for only-OT-set-buyers like me. :sceptic:

If it was like the death star the cloud car could be ing the same scale as vaders tie advanced :sweet:
