XimenaPaulina Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 There is only one that I have seen from one of the trailers. Rex is on a platform with what looks like Jesse, possibly Fives and someone else, but people are also saying it could be Appo. Rex has an ARC pauldron with the ammo pouches on it too. He looks sick and when I saw it the only thing I could think of was how much I wanted to make one, haha. I guess I will have to make another Arealight Order and find some decals for Jaig eyes and some paint to get this going... It's gonna be interesting that's for sure . The markings indicate one is Jesse. The one behind Rex is Kix and so the one to the right must be Hardcase all from the Deserter!! Uhm guys, what you're talking about has nothing to do with the topic, so you might want to continue your discussion in the dedicated CW topic in C&M. Quote
Muddy Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Stupid question how often does Lego use "filler" figures in finalized calendars/catalogs/promomaterials I know they do it for preliminary set pictures I don't think Lego changes the mmb after the monthly flyer is out - so one would assume - that the ARF is the figure it just boils down to which one... Are there many arf troopers in Episode 3? I think we determained Waxer, Boil, Trama, Digital Camo from CWM, and the Geonoshishian Variants, trapper I think that is it I can't wait I hate the word "chance" they should say limit first x per time zone/state etc Quote
The Legonater Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Are there many arf troopers in Episode 3? Unless 0 is many, then no. Quote
Frolando22 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Unless 0 is many, then no. Well, there are clone scout troopers which are not the same, but similar. (I wouldn't mind one of these either, but the picture is without a doubt, an ARF Trooper...but the possibility of it just being a stand-in, still remains) 100th post Quote
Piranha Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) I am with you guys on the very high possibility that it will be some form of an ARF Trooper. Just which one as mentioned? I am not going to lie I am hoping for a camo and/or printed arms/legs over a chrome one. It is fact that the promo is on May 3rd and May 4th, yes? For the people living in ""time zones that are far ahead respectively (for example Europe, etc) should be able to get one 12hrs to days ahead so it would be safe to assume that we will know what it is before we buy for us living in the US? Thank you for those buying early I wonder how many per LEGO store there will be? I am guessing 100-500?? Which isn't really alot, even if you need to spend $75 to get it.

Mr Man Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Are there many arf troopers in Episode 3? No but is is probable that the ARF trooper is the phase one variant of the clone scout trooper, which then becomes the imperial scout trooper. Sorry for off topic. Quote
Bane Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Hey guys, The minifig will be a "shadow"ARF trooper like on the preview pic on the calendar. In Germany you will receive the promo fig if you buy Lego for 55€. No camo ARF... :( Source: http://imperiumdersteine.de/showpost.php?p=510524&postcount=1393 Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 So it is what it is in the poster. It doesn't really bother me, a black shadow ARF is still a cool exclusive fig IMO. Maybe it'll look a lot better once we see clearer pictures. Quote
Blackknight112 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 The shadow version is syill awsome, but other variants would be better. I think I'm getting the figure. (hoping that it is nor random given) Quote
BrickUpdate Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Shadow ARF trooper - better in my opinion than a chrome ARF. More usable in MOC's. Have they given away figures like this in the past? Wondering how much preparation I need to take - will they sell out in a few hours, or will it be okay if I visit the store in the evening? Thanks for all the info everyone! Quote
Solscud007 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 I dont know. I think it really depends on how many SW Lego fans there are that frequent your local Lego Store. I have a feeling there are not that many where I live. But to be sure, I plan to be late for work and just go there first thing in the morning. Quote
Ceroknight Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I expected it be one coloured..still chrome would have been nice...I wonder if there ever would be a chrome R2.. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I'm not that surprised how this turned out. Not a minifig I desperately want, so I'll probably wait 'til the 4th and order only if there are any sets I want on sale. Quote
Piranha Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I don't read German, so what does that source say? Does that person have one? I am skeptical of it. Quote
Bane Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) The source says what I said in English. A user phoned at the Lego Store in Munich where those calendars arrived. A Lego employee said this, so I think the info is right. Edited April 9, 2011 by nine-eleven Quote

I think I am going to pass on it, a Shadow ARF is ok IMO there is no reference to one anywhere though, there isn't really any sets I want until the summer to spend the $75 on. Quote
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) http://www.imperiumdersteine.de/showthread.php?p=513341#post513341 This should do away with the skepticism about him being another color than black. The eyes are silver and additional helmet highlights are light blue. He said the pics were made with an iPhone and because of this blurry, he seems to not be able to do additional pics. Edit: A little photoshopping and you are able to make something out. Edited April 22, 2011 by Navy Trooper Fenson Quote
Brickdoctor Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 That looks pretty nice. If they have a good set on sale for more than $75 and I get one, I guess it'll make a nice addition to my stack of MISB 'figs. Quote
sok117 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Has anyone heard of legostores selling add ons like this on the side? Quote
-JD- Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Now that looks epic! This would be great to make Scorch if you combine it with an Arealight helmet! Quote
Big Cam Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 This is perfect because I'll be way over $75 with all three PotC sets I'll be getting/. I love the freebies, I still have my calendar from last year. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 This is perfect because I'll be way over $75 with all three PotC sets I'll be getting/. Don't you have to buy SW sets to qualify for this? Quote
Oky Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks for the pics, NTF. I added it to the first post. Don't you have to buy SW sets to qualify for this? Yes. Quote
Piranha Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks that does look rather good I admit. The torso is very nice and could be useful for some Shadow ARC Troopers later on perhaps? Quote
Ceroknight Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 I wouldn't mind getting one of these! Now what to buy to get it... Quote
