legoboy12345678/David Hall Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) We knew about this set before the Toy Fair. I see that, but we had no idea on what colors it would have, minifigures, or size.. This is the first look. Edited February 12, 2012 by legoboy12345678/David Hall Quote
Sir von Lego Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I see that, but we had no idea on what colors it would have, minifigures, or size.. This is the first look. We knew because I posted a foto from a retailers catalogue...(-; Does anyone know how much it will cost and how many Parts it contains? Quote
CM4Sci Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 We knew because I posted a foto from a retailers catalogue...(-; Does anyone know how much it will cost and how many Parts it contains? I believe $40 -Sci Quote
brickbuilder Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 We knew because I posted a foto from a retailers catalogue...(-; Does anyone know how much it will cost and how many Parts it contains? The price tag there says it will be $39.99, not bad for a set like that. Jabba's Palace is looking excellent! The new Jedi Starfighter and Desert Skiff are also really nice. Darn Toy Fair people, why did you have to hide Boba Fett's leg printing in the Sarlacc! Quote
Clone OPatra Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Does anyone know how much it will cost and how many Parts it contains? Clearly it will contain XXX parts. I find these sets to be a mixed bag. I think it's absolutely ridiculous to keep making the Jedi Starfighters bigger and more expensive. To my taste, the original Anakin one did the trick perfectly and was only $20. Now, admittedly it's nice to get part of the pain patter built in instead of all stickers, but $30 for a single Jedi Starfighter seems like way too much, and it might even be too big. I'm having the same problem with the Fury. It's a cool looking ship, and it's actually quite underscaled compared to the minifigures, but I can't see a $90 Tie-like ship that most people won't have heard of selling very well. Not that the price tag is wrong, it just doesn't seem like a good idea. The Malevolence is still pretty atrocious. That's all I have to say about that. I quite like the Gungan Sub. I never thought they would be able to actually make a good model of that ship, and though it's far from accurate, it looks appropriately curvy and pleasing. Quote
Parrothead Rasmus Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Jabba's Palace looks great. Does anyone know for a fact that FBTB will be posting a load of pictures like they did last year? They have passes, so I hope so. They always have good pictures. Quote
StoutFiles Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Woah, This is something I have to share with you guys asap, I was never even aware that LEGO was making this set! Looks great, just wished it was tiled! Legoboy, you aren't allowed to embed preliminary images here. Just link to the image, don't embed it. Quote
Kitfistonator Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Sadly, it appears as though Princess Leia in Jabba's Palace does indeed have that Princess Tamina head. See Here: Quote
Brickity Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Sadly, it appears as though Princess Leia in Jabba's Palace does indeed have that Princess Tamina head. See Here: Why? why?!? Recycling for important characters in licensed themes is a MUSTN'T! They're not giving importance to face designs as they did a few years ago. 2007 designers, where are you all?

Masked Builder Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Woah, This is something I have to share with you guys asap, I was never even aware that LEGO was making this set! Why is everyone so obsessed with LEGO tiling ships? I don't ever see them doing it. Quote
autobrick Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Jabba's Palace - Don't know if I said it already, but this is a must buy. Would have liked another redesigned Slave Leia, but that would be two Leias in one set. Desert Skiff - I was hoping for a new headpiece for Kithaba, but otherwise it's another buy for me. Gungan Sub - Apart from Amidala, this set doesn't draw me much. Bricklink to the rescue! X-wing Starfighter & Yavin 4 - The X-Wing look identical to 30051. Really? I'm not paying $12.99 for something I already have! Twin-Pod Cloud Car & Bespin - Worth it for Lobot, although the Cloud Car looks a bit awkward to me. AT-ST and Endor - Meh, I'll buy one if I have extra cash left over. Star Wars Adent Calendar 2012 - Contents look uninspired, and now that the US MSRP is $50, I suppose it will cost $65 in Canada? I wish Lego luck with this, as I still see the last advent calendar in stores, 'clearanced' to $35-40 and still not selling! CW/EU sets - Don't know much about these so not that interested. Maybe once we get some reviews out I'll change my mind. Edited February 12, 2012 by autobrick Quote
CaptainCRO Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I agree that it would be cool if we got a new Leia slave, but they couldn't include two Leias in one set. And if I have to choose, i definitly go for Leia Boushh. Quote
JackJonespaw Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Let me just say that Padme does not translate well into Clone Wars. Quote
Masked Builder Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Let me just say that Padme does not translate well into Clone Wars. Yeah that head LEGO has on her is awful! Quote
Clone OPatra Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I agree that it would be cool if we got a new Leia slave, but they couldn't include two Leias in one set. Sure they could. If they can put two Barbossas in a single $20 set and both Bruce Wayne and Batman in the Batcave, they could put two Leias in if they wanted to. Quote
Huntleyfx Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Wooohoo Very impressive, but when does Darth Maul appear shirtless? Quote
metalface13 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Wooohoo Whoa! Where is that from? He looks awesome! Is that a Clone Wars version though? Why no shirt? Edited February 12, 2012 by metalface13 Quote
Mr Man Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Wooohoo , I want it. It doesn't look like a TCW version but it can only be . Quote
commdr_neyo Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Whoa! Where is that from? He looks awesome! Is that a Clone Wars version though? Why no shirt? It might be CW, or it's just from the EU. (look it up on Wookieepedia if you want to) From FBTB Quote
CaptainCRO Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I freaking want that Darth Maul!!! How to get him?Please tell me. Quote
augustus Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I freaking want that Darth Maul!!! How to get him?Please tell me. I already have a very similar (and possibly better) one..you know - ebay. Wait some time and this one will be there too. Quote
Nightshroud99 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 That Darth Maul is epic, I want him now!!! As for some of the new sets, Jabba's Palace still looks amazing and the Republic Fighter has excellent figures!!! Satele Shan Quote
CaptainCRO Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 I already have a very similar (and possibly better) one..you know - ebay. Wait some time and this one will be there too. Could you send me some pics? Or a link? :) Quote
fyrmedhatt Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 The missing minifig in Jabba's palace seems to be Ree-Yees (as can be seen on pics of the preliminary box in the background)... I wonder why they decided to ditch him Maybe they'll release him in another set, like they did with the Tactical Droid two years ago I doubt they are ditching him, it appears it was more of a case where the figure isn't display ready yet, as it's a complex new mold. And it would be smart of Lego to at least one card close to their chest for the eventual announcement, so we have yet another reason to be excited. For those of you (like me) who want a Slave Leia to go with the set, that figure can be had for $3-5 on Bricklink. I'm definitely going to get one to go with the rest of the figures. Jabba's Palace is amazing, the building looks good, and this is the ultimate set ever when it comes to new figures, pretty much every character but Chewie haven't been seen before. Now I'm a little worried about the price tag, as it seems the set could be $140, or almost 20c/piece! Quote
