382nd Legionnaire Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Seemed odd that this news was released on a day that no one takes seriously. Quote
legolandia Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I actualy hope that a new chrome C-3PO would be an April's Fools joke.. The original version hasn't been in my possesion that long, and I'd like it to maintain it's value Lego would not release the same gold C3PO again. They may release variations of it but not the same. I thought I was mad enough when it came to Lego SW minifigs but I still refuse to pay £100+ for a Lego minifigure. Did you buy it at recent prices? Quote

I thought I was mad enough when it came to Lego SW minifigs but I still refuse to pay £100+ for a Lego minifigure. Did you buy it at recent prices? Hm, that seems logical. I traded a lot of parts, plates and a set for my chrome 3PO, but it still wouldn't be nice to see it lose value. I think the exclusive fig will be a TC-14 then, and I surely wouldn't mind that Quote
Walter Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Either way we should be getting a chrome protocol droid in the not so distant future. I'm good with that! Maybe I will try to get one this time around. Quote
Sam892 Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Since theres two promotional star wars dates this year like May the 4th and revenge of the 5th perhaps there will be two promotional figs. Seems unlikely I know but it would be cool to get the new chrome C3po on the 4th and Darth Maul or TC14 on the 5th. Quote
Lord Of The Fries Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) ACPin has posted a picture of the chrome TC-14 you get in this year's promotion here Edited April 2, 2012 by Lord Of The Fries Quote
Piranha Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I highly doubt that you possess the knowledge necessary to decide what promotional figure we'll see To me, C-3PO (iconic droid) seems more likely than a TC-14 (not so iconic droid). At least, the story in the blog turned out to be no April's Fool. That is a very interesting article, I certainly hope that in addition to TC-14 (which was just confirmed) that we get a new chrome gold C-3PO in the summer, which would be awesome. Quote
sealslip3 Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 ACPin has posted a picture of the chrome TC-14 you get in this year's promotion here I'm loving that new TC-14, it looks excellent. Now to decide how to get one... Quote

Need I say more??? Edited April 3, 2012 by Alldarker Quote
Brickadeer Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) I find your lack of faith disturbing... It's not that I don't have faith.

I know how annoying unconfirmed rumors can be, but Flump6523 on Brickset was a pretty dependable source (and actually, I think the post in which TC-14 was guessed was indeed removed from that topic).

HJR-Holland Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Sooo... if TC14 is the 4th promo figure, what will Darth Maul's role be this promotion year? TLG must have made more than 200 units of that one for sure; but for when? Quote
Sir_Basil_Ashton Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Sooo... if TC14 is the 4th promo figure, what will Darth Maul's role be this promotion year? TLG must have made more than 200 units of that one for sure; but for when? If Darth Maul follows a similar release to the White Boba Fett promo minifig, it may get released during Celebration VI.

I know how annoying unconfirmed rumors can be, but Flump6523 on Brickset was a pretty dependable source (and actually, I think the post in which TC-14 was guessed was indeed removed from that topic). I apologize for doubting you; I hadn't heard of it being confirmed by anyone before yesterday, just wishful thinking. Even though Episode 1 disgusts me, I much prefer a chrome protocol droid (that doubles for E-3PO/U-3PO) over a useless chrome Ewok. Quote
General Magma Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Feels like LEGO wants me dead or something. How am I supposed to get enough money for both this and the LOTR sets?! Either way.. it looks like a great figure and certainly something I'll have to consider getting, unless there's a way I can make a deal with someone, somehow, so I won't have to buy all those sets just for the figure. Too much great stuff this year to afford. ~ General Magma Edited April 3, 2012 by General Magma Quote
mutley777 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Sooo... if TC14 is the 4th promo figure, what will Darth Maul's role be this promotion year? TLG must have made more than 200 units of that one for sure; but for when? Much more that 200 units! I think the Darth Maul fig will end up as part of the annual TrU UK promo where you get a free fig if you spend £30. BL sales are already flying! It has already been sold 261 times and there are new listings for sale appearing daily! That does not even include ebay sales. BL Darth Maul sale figures. Quote

For one still in the bag the min price is over £40 thats just mad! I really hope you are right about him being a TRU promo mutley777. Quote
Brickadeer Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 For one still in the bag the min price is over £40 thats just mad! I really hope you are right about him being a TRU promo mutley777. I agree. Though I like the minifig, I wouldn't pay that much money. I suppose we'll see an official TCW Darth Maul anyway, but if it should turn out that mutley777 is right and if Maul ends up as a TRU promo, I'll really, really appreciate that! Quote
Mr Man Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) New Super-pack from brickset: *Snip* Rubbish as usual . Replace the CW BP with the Droid Escape, and it's better. Edited April 3, 2012 by Mr Man Quote
Brickdoctor Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Another Super Pack that makes no sense. One BP from a completely different era, and an OT BP from Jedi with a Y-wing from Star Wars. I suppose the two OT sets sort of go together since there were Y-wings at the Battle of Endor, as long as you ignore Celebration Leia and the box art with Yavin, but the other set... it just seems like a cheap filler to make 3-in-1. Quote
Fives Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I have kinda been following this thread (most of my time has been spent over at the LOTR thread), but from what I can see, there is still no info on the Palpatine's Arrest set. When should we possibly hear or see more about this mysterious exclusive? Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Yep, another dumb Super Pack, something CW, something ROTJ and something ANH....canon is totally screwed here. Quote
prateek Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I would love to get this Superpack! It's a sample of almost every era of SW! Quote
