Darth Nihilus Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 We've had those for years....I'm not sure you know what you're talking about..... In the style of the BD Pilot and BD Security Officer of 2011, I mean. The old BD Commanders simply had a) Yellow printing on tan. b) No printing at all. Hopefully, the Malevolence BD Commander will be in the style of the 2011 OOM-series droids and have tan printing on yellow, but not be like the 2012 OOM-series Security droid and have no printing at all.

Oh like that. Gotcha. Quote

legolandia Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Actually, they're brains in six-legged droid bodies, the latter of which resemble spiders. I stand corrected. Hopefully Lego bring out a proper minifigure of B'omarr Monk this time. Quote

legolandia Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Complete with barking frog and wall-mounted snail. Now that is pure imagination. lol You can't get those sort of creatures anywhere else but SW Quote
DarthR2-D2 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but Anakin's Jedi Intereceptor and Y-Wing are exclusives for Winter line and Palpatine's Arrest and Pre Vizsla's Fighter are sumer exclusives? Yes? No? maybe So? Quote
Aethersprite Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but Anakin's Jedi Intereceptor and Y-Wing are exclusives for Winter line and Palpatine's Arrest and Pre Vizsla's Fighter are sumer exclusives? Yes? No? maybe So? Not sure to the answer to this. But regarding Palpatine's Arrest and Pre Vizsla's Fighter - will we be getting pics of them at Toy Fair? EDIT: Okay, let me rephrase that. Do we usually get pics of exclusives at Toy Fair? I can't really remember the trend the past few years. Edited January 18, 2012 by Lockon Stratos Quote

When is Toy Fair? Is it this week?? Quote
JamesBenjamin Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I think we don't get pics of exclusives unfortunatly. When is Toy Fair? Is it this week?? IIRC, it is the week of Feb 15th, or thereabouts. Another month or so. Quote
commanderneyo Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 IIRC, it is the week of Feb 15th, or thereabouts. Another month or so. To be precise, it's exactly 12th-15th of February. 11th is reveals night, so we might get some pics on that date also. Quote
Markypops Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 We might be lucky to get a detailed decsription from other toy fairs, but I think that I am right in thinking that photos are not allowed until the New York Toy Fair. At which point we will be overwelmed with the shear quantity of photos to feast our eyes on. Quote
jmagaletta Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I can't wait to see how they go about doing Pre Viszla's darksaber. I hope it isnt just a black lightsaber blade with a standard hilt. Quote

LEGOman273 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 It will probably just be a Ninjago katana with a printed black blade. Why printed? TLG has never printed a katana. Quote
Darth Nihilus Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Why printed? TLG has never printed a katana. What other way is there to have a black blade and a silver handle? I suppose they could dual-color mold it, but I don't think they do that anymore (Do they?). Argh, my Fury-class is more pieces than the Palace! There go my chances of a Sith Trooper army..... Quote
CaptainCRO Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Does anyone know if Ahsoka in Malvolence will have the new outfit and both yellow and green lightsabers? ...probably a bit longer tentacles too, but I doubt it. Quote

I suppose they could dual-color mold it, but I don't think they do that anymore (Do they?). Argh, my Fury-class is more pieces than the Palace! There go my chances of a Sith Trooper army..... They would likely just use a black katana. They could make a new piece - a katana blade attached directly (no hand guard) to a very short bar - and use it with a standard lightsaber hilt. They could re-use it in Ninjago. Quote

I suppose they could dual-color mold it, but I don't think they do that anymore (Do they?). Argh, my Fury-class is more pieces than the Palace! There go my chances of a Sith Trooper army..... Dual-colored parts do still exist; the Hero Factory and Super Heroes constraction sets this year have several. However, doing so with the katana piece would likely require a new mold to give it multiple injection points, and I'm not sure if the desired effect would work too well. Printing, of course, would probably also require new machines. Not familiar with Pre Viszla, so not sure how TLG would likely create his weapon. Glancing at it on Wookiepedia, it definitely isn't something that a regular black-bladed sword or lightsaber would work too well for. I wonder if perhaps some type of "speckle" treatment like the axe blade in this picture would work to evoke that "energized black" look. If TLG could somehow use the katana with that treatment only on the blade, or better yet create a brand-new sword piece with a blade in that color, then that could look quite impressive. Quote
CaptainCRO Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Ahsoka won't be in the Malevolence set. TCW Padme will be in that set instead. How so? On the first page it says Ahsoka. I guess we can't be sure until final pics.(remember replacing Quinlan Vos with Anakin ) Quote
LEGOman273 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 How so? On the first page it says Ahsoka. I guess we can't be sure until final pics.(remember replacing Quinlan Vos with Anakin ) Yes, but a few pages ago the minifig lists and set descriptions were posted; and Ahsoka was replaced with Padmé. I like this change, as a new Ahsoka would make no sense, and now we have a CW Padmé. Quote

Maybe Lego has changed their original plans due to the high volume of talks on line about the lack of a new Padme in recent years. Quote
