JackJonespaw Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Man, Lando looks amazing! I guess he doesn't have a reversible face - that would make him look to good! Quote
Diggydoes Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Man, Lando looks amazing! I guess he doesn't have a reversible face - that would make him look to good! No, he doesn´t comes with an reversible face! Unfortunately... Quote
LEGOman273 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 So, does anyone know whether the 9497 female Jedi eyes are blue or black? I've seen different images. I think the box art has black version, which I prefer. I thought I read somewhere that LEGO did not like how the Indiana Jones female figs with blue eyes turned out and are not doing it again (could be wrong though) ... The blue-eye head is IJ's Elsa. The black-eye head is Wonder Woman's from Superheroes. WW's is the correct one used for Shan. Quote
Remus_Lupin Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Jabba's Palace has a cracking array of minifigures, but I think the price:pieces ratio will ultimately put me off. Might wait a year and see if it can be caught in a sale. The Skiff, however, looks like an immediate must-buy. An updated Lando and Boba Fett in a mid-priced set? Can't see it being anything other than a massive hit. Quote

StoutFiles Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 This is the only reason I want this set. Gotta have that Boba Fett. Wish there was one more figure though, a Han or Chewie maybe. I figured everyone had a Chewie by now. It's not like he wears different clothes, if you've got one he fits any situation. The reason Han and Chewie are left out is the Palace; TLG likes to spread figures out over available sets. Quote

He is in 4 sets that recently came out: Droid Escape, the X-Wing and Anakin's Jedi Interceptor, and the USC R2-D2. Jabba's Palace and the skiff will be definite buys for me. I might get more later but there's just been so many sets from other themes that are taking away my attention and money. Quote

We he is not technically a minifig in Lego's eyes, just 4 molded parts with 2 being printed. Quote
Artizan Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 I just noticed that it says the Qui-gon figure is new on gungan sub box, isn't he the same figure from Sith infiltrator? Or are they calling him new just because they have corrected the skin color on torso? Quote

Clone OPatra Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 He has the new print on the back of his head. And a different print on the front. He's now somewhat smiley. Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Looks like the front panel on the droid in the Republic Striker fighter is a sticker. You gotta be kidding me... Quote

Sir von Lego was nice enough to display all of the sticker sheets in his summer wave topic, and there isn't one in the Striker set. Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Ah, good to know! I didn't see that topic until now. Quote
coolguy2323 Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Any word on when these sets and Palp's arrest will be out? Quote
Fighter of Frizzies Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 I don't know if this violates the "no talking about price" rule (if so, a mod can move this) but when you build the Malevolence and Jabba's Palace I'm curious if they are more equal, not in piece number but in total set weight. I only have pictures to look at but Jabba's Palace seems to contain a lot of large bricks, less plates. I know much of the cost is related to the specialty pieces but I'm still hoping that it isn't as big a rip-off as lot of us think. Looking at Brickset, the Malevolence is 1.66 kg while Jabba's Palace is 1.8 kg. Despite the awful price/part ratio, could the price/weight ratio make the price tag seem less terrible? Not that I won't be waiting for a sale mind you. Quote

I'd subtract the weight of Jabba from the total weight. He is a substantial piece of plastic. Quote
commdr_neyo Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 I'd subtract the weight of Jabba from the total weight. He is a substantial piece of plastic. Well, one could say that Jabba is still part of the set, and that it would explain the high price, but I won't since these prices are just ridiculous to begin with. Quote
Super Brick Collector Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Anyone know if the U.S. will have some kind of promo for the shirtless darth maul? Quote
Brickadeer Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Not sure if we had a clear shot of Pre Viszla already: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Edited May 21, 2012 by Brickadeer Quote
CM4Sci Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Not sure if we had a clear shot of Pre Viszla already: Uploaded with ImageShack.us No, we didn't! Thanks! Per Viszla looks cool, -Sci Edited May 21, 2012 by CM4S Quote
