qui gon jinn Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Why? I'm not a native speaker of English, so I don't get what you're hinting at They did fight on Endor, didn't they? Because it is the same name as the 8038 The name wich is more understandable for the 7956 is Endor battel pack. Quote
KimT Posted October 22, 2010 Author Posted October 22, 2010 Aaah. It's just that I mingled the names a bit since I was under the impression that the Endor and Geonosis packs will both be like the Battle of Naboo pack. Let's just say that names are NOT final Quote
Poza Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 First post updated with newest rumors from kosky.org and similar. It´s kosTky :) btw - thanks Quote
Brickdoctor Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I think so too. Old mold + new prints is the way to go. As you pointed out, they did it with the ewoks and (will do with) the Gungans, so that's what they would probably do also with the geonosians. No need for new molds since they are just minor characters. A Poggle fig does sound sweet, and it's within the realm of impossibility considering there are two rumored Geonosis sets. Actually, the Ewoks got new molds. Quote
The Legonater Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I just realised something- what if the podracers had som of the Technic (or whatever theme it is) sensor pieces? Quote

Brickdoctor Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I just realised something- what if the podracers had som of the Technic (or whatever theme it is) sensor pieces? What sensor pieces? I hope you're not suggesting an NXT pod, that would be too expensive. Quote
The Legonater Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 What sensor pieces? I hope you're not suggesting an NXT pod, that would be too expensive. I don't know exactly, but I was thinking with all those wires in the pods, it would be interesting. Though I agre,e it would be rather expensive. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I don't know exactly, but I was thinking with all those wires in the pods, it would be interesting. Though I agre,e it would be rather expensive. Could just stick with standard greebling; TLG does make a variety if flexible hoses and the like. Those NXT cables aren't small, you know. They're around 1.5 studs wide. Plus, if every pod has an NXT, you're looking at around four to five hundred dollars. Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I just realised something- what if the podracers had som of the Technic (or whatever theme it is) sensor pieces? I must admit that I'm not really looking forward to that one. Quote
CadBane Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Does anyone have pics of the summer 2011 sets yet? On my "Its a fake!": I stand corrected. Quote
Walter Kovacs Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Does anyone have pics of the summer 2011 sets yet? On my "Its a fake!": I stand corrected. Unless THIS counts, no. We still don't have official pictures of the January wave (except for Mace's JSF). Quote
Future74 Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Wow already news on the summer sets?! They sound interesting, especially the battle packs. 7956 The Endor Battle Pack 7957 Geonosis Battle Pack 7959 Geonosian Starfighter 7961 Sith Infiltrator 7962 Anakin's and Sebulba's Podracers 7964 Republic Frigate Two Geonosian sets Mmm I wonder why they've decided to make another Sith Infiltrator as the previous one wasnt that bad and from 2007. That makes me very curious about the design. I dont know what to think of the Podracers either, although I understand why they are in this list. And a Republic Frigate sounds awesome! Quote

Agreed on the Infiltrator. If these rumors are true, that's the one set that's already a definite pass unless it's exceptionally awesome beyond all expectations. Quote
Lord Embo Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I'm convinced that the Summer list is fake. We won't know though until we see preliminary pictures. Lord Embo Quote
General Magma Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I'm quite sure it isn't fake. The small blob on the pic of the guy from FBTB resembles the Geonosian starfighter, the big one must be the frigate. Not sure about this, though. I hope there'll also be some stormtroopers in the Endor set, as I only have a few.. @Walter Kovacs: Actually, we do have pics of the january wave. You could probably look them up on YouTube, as they've been removed elsewhere. It included the Battle of Naboo set, the bounty hunter gunship and the rest that's on the list. ~ General Magma Quote
sok117 Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I just realized something! Does anyone know what a genosian starfighter is? Last time we got a genosian starfighter, it was just count dooku's solar sailor, and we just got that for 2009, so does anyone know what ship it is? Quote

On the Geonosian starfighter, the two "needles" at the front are longer than on Dooku's ship, and the cockpits are also different from each other. Dooku's solar sailer is actually a slightly modified version of the Geonosian starfighter, as far as I know.. ~ General Magma Edited October 22, 2010 by General Magma Quote

The two are different from each other, but still similair. But yes, they are different. Dooku's ship is a Geonosian Solar Sailer, but there's also the regular Geonosian starfighter. Both are not very much different from each other: the starfighter has longer "needles" at the front, the solar sailer has a sail, they have different cockpits, and also a slighty different shape I think. The starfighter is also about 7-8 meters shorter than the sailer. ~ General Magma Edited October 22, 2010 by General Magma Quote

What he meant was like the finalized product pics. Quote
Future74 Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 To help out on the geonosian fighter discussion: TLC already made one in the past... just look in the review index Review by Skipper 24 Quote
