Knightsword Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 This set is gonna be exclusive to Target stores in the US, as seen in the recent reset of their Lego isle, its on a piece of display along with the N-1 fighter with the "Only @ Target" logo. Quote
cei Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 I just noticed the lack of Republic detail? The symbol on the front of the right wing and the duel symbols on the back? Where this present in ROTS? I can't imagine they were removed that quick because of the newly declared Empire There is an Open Circle fleet circle on the cockpit canopy. It's small, but definitely there. Quote

Piranha Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 thank you for this review. 2 things for me 1. Too many bags for this set, 4 really? 2. Anakin needs some sleep Quote

jmagaletta Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 thank you for this review. 2 things for me 1. Too many bags for this set, 4 really? 2. Anakin needs some sleep They are trying to mimic anakin's red eyes when he was immerssed in the dark side. Quote
ZoomZoom Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 They are trying to mimic anakin's red eyes when he was immerssed in the dark side. I think everybody understand this... Quote
Piranha Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 no not the sith side but the other side but now that I think about it the sith side is just as bad. Quote
Sam892 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Really looking forward to getting this set. I think I am defiantly going to get multiple copies so I can swap the colours from my old interceptors onto nice new beefier versions Quote
jmagaletta Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 This set should really be named Darth Vader's Sith Interceptor. Why would lego name it Anakin's? Quote

Aanchir Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 There's also the fact that a lot of kids would surely associate the name Darth Vader with the fully armored Darth Vader from the original trilogy, rather than with the still human-looking Anakin, even after he joins Palpatine and receives his Sith name. If a kid (even one who had seen the prequel trilogy) were shown the new Anakin Skywalker minifigure, I think they would identify it as Anakin rather than Darth Vader. Quote

I would identify it as Anakin rather than Darth Vader. It doesn't matter anyway, as they're the same person (from a certain point of view) Edited January 26, 2012 by punkkid364 Quote
Fallenangel Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 This set should really be named Darth Vader's Sith Interceptor. Why would lego name it Anakin's? In addition to the reasons above, there's also the fact that 'Vader's Interceptor' refers to something else. Quote
ZoomZoom Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 I still think this Anakin must be Darth Vader IMHO:) Quote
jmagaletta Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) In addition to the reasons above, there's also the fact that 'Vader's Interceptor' refers to something else. Still at the point in the movie he is Darth Vader. I just dont like how Lego tries to make them two different charactors. Darth Vader only being the guy in the suit, this set could have easy been called Darth Vader's Interceptor as technically it is his and he is Darth Vader. Also I see your wookiepedia post and raise it this one http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Vader's_green_Eta-2_Actis-class_light_interceptor In reality he is appointed Darth Vader a little more then half way through the movie.

Fallenangel Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Ah. I had forgotten about that entry. Go with Aanchir's explanation, then. Quote

It's true, Darth Vader would probably apply better, but that doesn't mean that the name Anakin no longer applies to the character by this point. And since people (especially kids) are likely to associate the name "Darth Vader" with the guy in the black suit, and won't necessarily understand that the two identities are more a matter of moral alignment than of appearance, TLG uses the name that buyers will be more likely to associate with the minifigure in the set.

Rogue Angel Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 This won't be a purchase for me. It's a prequel set, and while I do like the concept of the set the only thing I want is Nute. I'm disappointed in the torso printing though, maybe I only need his head/headpiece. We'll see how my Bricklinking fares. Thanks for the review! Quote
CaptainCRO Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 LEGO puts so much effort in details and yet they gave Gunray a totaly wrong shaped hat. It' not that big of a deal, but this move is kinda lazy if you ask me. They just repainted the old hat from CW gunray. Hasn't anyone noticed this? Quote
Sam892 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 just got the set today from my nearest lego store and i love it. also asomething tha might intrest some of you is that my nute gunray minifig was fine the torso and skirt lined up perfectly so i'm not sure if the problem was been fixed or if i was one of the lucky ones.

Yes people have noticed and pointed it out, ever since we got the first prelims of this set. There's so much nice, new things about this set the wrong hat is a mini inconvenience. Quote
