DarthR2-D2 Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Unless you're European, then the discussion on where exclusive ends means absolutely nothing as it IS NOT THE SAME IN EUROPE! Nor the rest of the world for that sake - it's not even the same from country to country -do I have to go on to prove my point here? Hey man take it easy. I'm just stating ALL I KNOW! If I knew what they were in Europe I would've put it. But I don't. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 Seeing as the there is a rumored "Old Republic Starfighter" set for next year, I can't help but speculate that it would come from the upcoming MMORPG game SW The Old Republic. Being a massive fan of the game's cinematic trailers, I chanced upon this on the game's official site and I think the set could feature either be one of these ships: Among these, the Thunderclap and Defender seem to be the Republic ships, so there's a chance that one of these two might be the rumored set?

Walter Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I love that freighter. It would make an awesome ship. Quote
MstrOfPppts Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Wow, nice ships. I think the Freighter is too similar to millennium falcon. I'd vote for the Mantis or Thunderclap. I really like the futuristic asymmetric ships! Quote
DFOL Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I wouldn't exactly call those "starfighters", if built to minifig scale all of these ships would be roughly similar in size to the UCS Millennium Falcon. I have to agree there are some awesome models here though, i'd definately save up to buy a UCS release of the XS Freighter. Quote
DarthR2-D2 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Well I expect it (Old Republic Fighter) to be something on the lines of the Rogue Shadow. Prob with Revan and/or Malak. And one or two other people Quote

Wait a minute 'Kiel', the word is starfighter....these are full on starship's. How about..... C-73 Tracker or S-100 Stinger Or even a Aurek class fighter. The last one I would go for the most. Quote

The designs for most of these ships seem to be inspired from one or another of the current famous ships. The Mantis is like the Jedi starfighter, Fury is like a squashed Tie, Thunderclap looks like an X-wing missing its nose and with the wings glued on one side, the Defender looks like an A-wing has grown horns, the Freighter is so obvious that is inspired by Millenium Falcon, and I cant link the Phantom to anything yet but it looks like it has MonCal origins. However the Defender is definitely my favorite one. Quote
Huntleyfx Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 The designs for most of these ships seem to be inspired from one or another of the current famous ships... I cant link the Phantom to anything yet but it looks like it has MonCal origins. However the Defender is definitely my favorite one. I think the Phantom is actually most similar to a Naboo Cruiser, but I may be incorrect. Quote
North Lego Star Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Today, I was reading online that the Jedi Interceptor was only going to be 19.99 is this true...If it is then I know what my first purchase is. If we were to get any of these old republic starfighters I would like to see the X-70B Phantom, its different from what we usually see, I wonder what minifigs we would get with one of these fighters?

Huntleyfx Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Today, I was reading online that the Jedi Interceptor was only going to be 19.99 is this true...If it is then I know what my first purchase is. Where did you see that? If your source is accurate, that would be great news. Quote
sealslip3 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Today, I was reading online that the Jedi Interceptor was only going to be 19.99 is this true...If it is then I know what my first purchase is. That would be excellent! I can't justify it if its more expensive than $30- it looks comparable price-wise to sets like Luke's Landspeeder, Droid Escape, and Republic Swamp Speeder which are all $20-$30. I think anywhere in that range would be reasonable, but if it is indeed only $20 it will be a definite buy for me. Edited December 9, 2011 by sealslip3 Quote

Mr Man Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Thaks so much! You re-quoted all the above just to say that . Thanks a lot for the new Hi Res pics grogall, I'm starting to like the X-Wing quite a lot now. Quote

The Fury's nice, the Mantis looks like something Boba Fett would own, and the Phantom is cool too. Back on topic, The Freighter does look like a yellow precursor of the Millennium Falcon, and the Defender (which I quite like) looks a bit too "heavy" for the starfighter classification. If it were one of the ships included on the image, it would probably be the Thunderclap. It kind of looks like a cross between a Skyhopper and X-Wing, but it seems to be the most likely one. Quote

I want the Fury or the Phantom. Though with TLG's 'pro-Republic/Rebels' policy, neither is likely. Quote
Mr Man Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 And the Defender (which I quite like) looks a bit too "heavy" for the starfighter classification. The Defender is a corvette anyway so that seems to be ruled out. Quote
Fallenangel Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Today, I was reading online that the Jedi Interceptor was only going to be 19.99 is this true...If it is then I know what my first purchase is. Are you sure? imperiumdersteine and Toys N Bricks have had the price listed as 39,99€ ($29.99 USD) for quite some time now. Quote
North Lego Star Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 We'll I got this information from Brickipedia which says they got it from imperimdersteine so in the end, I really don't know, I hope it dosen't go up to 40$ like the Battle for Geonosis did, hopefully it will stay below 30$ like, as people said before, the Republic Swamp Speeder and Luke's Landspeeder. By the way, dose anyone think its possible to see a couple of Attack of the Clones sets this year due to the fact that the movie is coming out in 2013 in 3D, I personally believe its very possible considering that episode one sets started coming out about one years in advanced, just wondering.

382nd Legionnaire Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Hopefully the new sets will be out before the end of December if that's a possibility? Quote

Where? The Brickipedia article for 9494 mentions a Flickr set from imperiumdersteine but makes no mention of the price; this page lists the price you mentioned but cites only one source which also says nothing about 9494 or its price. Imperiumdersteine isn't mentioned in the second page at all. Considering that the same page also lists an incorrect price for 9489, I'd say we're looking at fabricated numbers. Quote
North Lego Star Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Ya, it seems like these are fabricated numbers but I still have hope that it will be 30$ By the way brickipedia had close-ups of obi-wan, gunray and the droid which made the set look even better and said it would contain 168 pieces so even if its not 20$ its stil a pretty good looking set. Dose anybody know the price on the Y-wing yet? Edited December 9, 2011 by North Lego Star Quote
CMP Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 That's just like SWTOR....lemme break it down. Left to right, top to bottom: Slave I, TIE Fighter, Sidways Imperial Shuttle, fairly creative ship, Millenium Falcon, smashed up Tantive. Really, it seems like the whole game is going to be a mash-up of the OT, PT, and CW. The nearly-identical-to-clones-but-not-really-clone-troopers, all of these...gah. That's just me, who feels like everything should be brand new. I would still like a Mantis, though.... Quote
legoboy12345678/David Hall Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Wow, surprised no-one has yet to post my photo. Anyways, I was able to get my hands on the new Sandtrooper through Ebay, and I must say that it looks great! I just wonder if they will use that same head in the new Endor Battle Pack? --David Quote
