Hulk_Smash Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Well I read Yoda and commando droids were in the same ep, but the catalogue definitely had them together.
halomaster96 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 If we're getting Pong Krell, then I'm really hoping for some Phase 2 501st clones, Rex and Fives! I also wonder who will come with the A-wing? I hope we don't JUST get a generic pilot.
Rogue Angel Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I'm still hoping we get an ewok village instead. Continue the momentum of glorious Return of the Jedi sets! Besides, who needs another A-Wing, or a remake of the A-Wing pilot with 1/4" black stripe on his helmet instead of a 3/8" black stripe, Whoopee!
Robominer Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Well I read Yoda and commando droids were in the same ep, but the catalogue definitely had them together. Weird I also wonder who will come with the A-wing? I hope we don't JUST get a generic pilot. I'm afraid we might just get a generic pilot, or we might get the pilot who flew into the bridge of the Executor.
Fighter of Frizzies Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I can understand why most wouldn't be excited for another A-Wing. Though since I missed out on the Mon Calamari Cruiser set, I'm really jazzed that Lego is offering it separately (though I wouldn't be surprised if the construction is the same [minus the color]). Does the A-Wing come with any other figures besides the pilot?
Brickdoctor Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 To be honest, I would have liked any of the three rumored OT sets, though the A-wing would be my last choice of the three, as well. TLG does seem to be redoing a lot of its smaller and medium-sized vehicles, though, so the A-wing makes sense. And if this coming year's OT sets are on the smaller side, I won't really mind, because LotR has some nice sets that I want to get, too. TLG's never really quite gotten the curves of the A-wing right, much as they've never really gotten the angles of the Snowspeeder right. They've used the same basic A-wing design for years, so it will be interesting to see if they can improve the design of the A-wing. I'm not sure if they can do that within the strength and connection limitations of an official set, though. As for the CW set...well, I can't say I'm excited for it, but I haven't really been that excited for a CW set in a few years. I'm still hoping we get an ewok village instead. Continue the momentum of glorious Return of the Jedi sets! Besides, who needs another A-Wing, or a remake of the A-Wing pilot with 1/4" black stripe on his helmet instead of a 3/8" black stripe, Whoopee! Technically, the A-wing is a Jedi set.
Fives Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) I'm glad to hear we're getting Pong Krell it what sounds to be a Z-95 set. I really hope it is a smallish set with just Krell, Rex (Phase 2) and Fives (Phase 2) since they are the only figures I really want from that story arc. I'm excited to see how they do Krell. It will most likely be done similar to the four armed Garmadon from Ninjago, but since Krell's head is so large and strangely shaped compared to a traditional LEGO head they may need to do something more unique. Also, the release of this set could indicate that LEGO is switching over to Phase 2 clones for CW sets from now on. EDIT: I guess the rumor list got posted as I was writing the above comments. Hmmm... Krell isn't mentioned with the Headhunter? That's either a mistake or we aren't getting him. As for the other sets, the BPs sound really appealing, particularly the Old Republic one. Also, it will be nice to get Droidekas in a BP for once. The Kamino Planet set is a major waste of an opportunity to make a Kaminoan fig. Shame on TLG. As for the rest of the sets, unless the set with Yoda is from AOTC (not likely) then it is just another waste of a set. The A-Wing has a better selection of figs than I expected, but I don't really need another Ackbar or Han. The Rancor Pit is definitely the star set of the wave. Edited August 17, 2012 by Fives
purpleparadox Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 THE RUMOR LIST !!!!!! Sounds like a great batch of sets! Luckily, not all are ones I'll want to buy.
Gubi0222 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) it sounds very good Coruscant with Clone Pilot will the best planet set of the year Clone Troopers vs Droidekas Battle Pack: we get new clones maybe A-Wing including Admiral Ackbar, Han Solo and an A-Wing Pilot: same as the home one AT-RT including Yoda, Clone Trooper and Assassin Droid Z-95 Headhunter including three Clone Troopers good CW sets The Rancor Pit (as revealed at Comic Con): it will be good with the palace Edited August 17, 2012 by Gubi0222
The Joker1 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Hmm not a bad list. I will be picking up most of them. Thankfully it is a short list so my wallet and i can be freinds again .
Brickdoctor Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Looks like, for now, TLG's continuing to produce TOR sets, which also means that there're no OT BPs in this wave. I also think that the A-wing will turn out more popular than we thought, because it includes Ackbar. That should be the cheapest set he's appeared in. (other than the Ackbar/Leia/Threepio magnet set from before the glued magnet era)
DarthPotato Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 A rumor list at last! I'm guessing that Krell may be in the Headhunter, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see some pictures. I'm also guessing that they'll finally use Phase II clones, so I'm looking forward to getting a bunch of those.
sealslip3 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Well I'm a bit underwhelmed, but that's probably because I'm not a CW/EU fan. The A-Wing sounds interesting, but I've already got one plus all of the included figures. I'm also very disappointed that we aren't seeing a new figure with the Kamino planet set, a Kaminoan would have been excellent. Also, am I the only one who thought "WTF?" when I saw the Asteroid planet set? Can anyone shed some light on whether Kamino, the Clone Trooper BP, and AT-RT are CW or PT? The AT-RT sounds CW to me but the others could go either way.
Brickdoctor Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I've added what info I could to the first post. Note that some info that has been filled in, such as Subtheme and Minifigs, may not be complete, and I've listed some sets that could be PT as CW. I've also added a new section to the information of each rumored set entitled, 'Source', which includes a link to the source of the rumor.
Brinstar Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Some interesting sets there. I wonder what the Old Republic battlepack will entail? The Z-95 would be a welcome addition, I've always been fond of the design and hoped that Lego would do their own version. I'll probably pass on the A-Wing unless its advanced significantly from the 2005 iteration.
naugem Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 The list doesn't sound that interesting to me, which is good because I still want to get the B-Wing, Fury Class Interceptor and Seasee Tiin's Starfighter. Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind once I see the pictures.
The Joker1 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Oh also do wi think the a-wing will be the £20 set (droid escape and geonosian cannon size) and what price are we thinking for the yoda set £50 maybe (x-wing and tie fighter sort of price?)-Ditto to the headhunter. Also what are we thinking will be the £100 set this wave? Although their may not be one due to the 3 large sets last wave (Jabbas palace,Malevolence and sith interceptor)
commanderneyo Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks for posting. I for one, think this is a much better wave than this year's first wave, this year's January wave was a huge let-down, in my opinion. Although, the Planet sets are poor to me. Don't care for the TIE, the Kamino could have been worthwhile except they chose a poor mini-figure for it. Depending on pictures, I may get the Coruscant one. The regular sets sound pretty decent to me. Both battle packs I will probably get, hoping the TOR one is two Republic Troopers and two Sith Troopers. Clones vs Droidekas I will definitely buy, though I'm more hoping for TCW P2 Clones, and they could be, seen as previous reports said 3 of the regular sets would be TCW, and only 2 of this list definitely are. The A-Wing I don't really care about, depends on pics probably. AT-RT sounds very bland, and that's coming from someone who buys most TCW sets. The Clone has to be a special P1 variation or a P2 version, to warrant this set's release. Z-95 Headhunter to me is the best of the wave. Three new Clones, plus possibly Krell I believe. The Clones I expect will be Rex, Fives and maybe a P2 Clone Pilot or P2 501st or something, and I really like the ship so I'm definitely gonna want that set most.
Krulis Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 THE RUMOR LIST !!!!!! Thanks!! The ones I'm most looking for (expect Rancor pit which is great) are: TOR battlepack and AT-RT (hopefully with new olive green Yoda ).
Darthluke824 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Wow! Sound good! I hope there are some more Phase 2 Clones! I hope to buy all apart from Old Republic BP and A-Wing. Can't wait! I still need to catch up on 2012 sets though.
commander1 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I am so excited for the headhunter! If it is a good headhunter WITH PONG KRELL then I will be in love! Honestly I hope there will be more sets in this rumor list because i was disappointed they should added a new clone wars set of the prototype shelf pic than the a-wing! I like the old republic set though. The clones vs droidekas is ok, I do like the ATRT idea because its hard to get yoda without paying lots of money. Im guessing this will be a 20$ set to me. I hope that the headhunter is only 50$ or less!
Fighter of Frizzies Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 An asteroid? I really wish Lego would just do the minis and not the planets but whatev. I wonder if Han will be the brown pants version we've seen before or have an Endor trenchcoat (perhaps using this piece for the coat: http://www.eurobricks.com/staff/whitefang/8805review/33.jpg

On Cuusoo, I actually made a project which is a sith trooper vs. republic trooper battlepack
CM4Sci Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 None of these sound interesting. Where are the EP II sets?! -Sc
