TAFOL Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Hmm lego is starting putting 5 numbers on the sets codes,any ideas why??Just wordering. My guess would be that TLG have used all 4 numbered sequences for their sets, therefore they'll be using 5 numbered sequences for sets from 2012 (Hobbit-sets) and 2013 on.

North Lego Star Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Well, this is some interesting news, but I have my questions about the reality of these sets. The A-wing, Z-95 Headhunter, The BARC speeder set and two Battle Packs I believe are for sure sets, but I have to admite I'm starting to raise questions on the reality of the other set... -AT-RT set- I do believe were getting one and that it will include Yoda, but I don't see lego just putting all of these characters that don't belong togther all in one set. I would also think that lego would avoid putting another 501st Trooper in this set if were getting one in the Headhunter. I really hope this truns into a Kashyyyk set rather than an Umbran Set. -Umbran MHC- Well, I am most suprised by this set, it seems like a possible set but, I would think it would be at a higher price, for its large size. I know, it may sould strange of me but, I think it would be a much better set if it were a Toys R Us limited Edition set for the Summer Wave(more minifigs aswell as a bigger set). I also don't see why Ahsoka is in this set, she was never even included in those Episodes. I would think lego would save her for the summer wave also and put her in her new Jedi Interceptor. I don't even know if I would consider buying this set if it came out like this. -Hoth Planet Set- I really did see this one coming out for the next wave, but I don't see why were getting a snowspeeder with a "Snowspeeder Pilot," there's no such thing as a snow speeder pilot its just a regular Rebel Pilot which we already got with the Yavin 4 planet set! I really doubt the reality of this one. -Endor Planet Set- There's just no way this one is true, we've already have gotten an Endor planet set( Lego does list it as Endor on there website as Endor), It is possible though that this planet was mistaken for Endor but is really, the planet Sullust then, I could believe 100% in this set. -Alderaan Planet Set- I could see this as a set but, I would think lego would want to base this one of the Scene in Episode 3 were Bail Organa returns to Alderaan, and put him in this set and make the Tantive IV blue since ROTS is coming to the movies in 2013 aswell. My thoughts may just be based on the fact that we haven't seen pictures of these sets yet, but I just have my doubts that a couple of these will be different from what we were expecting. I really just think we need to see pictures to clear up everything.
NovaSentinel Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I wonder why the Commando droids have 'new' asterixes on them? Also I hope that some of the 501st troopers are the named ones like Jesse and Hardcase, rather than just generic troopers. Hoping one of them is going to include Fives! The Clone/Droideka battlepack sounds like it could be Ep II or CW, and personally I wouldnt mind either way :) TOR battlepack is a must have for me, hopefully the republic trooper's helmets will be done properly, and not reprints of clone helmets A-Wing is a nice idea but i'll have to see how much of an improvement it is over the last one AT-RT is a must buy :D Z-95 unless Krell is done right, this could well be one of the weaker sets of the wave Rancor Pit - speaking as someone who doesn't have and has no intentions to get Jabba's Palace, i think that as a standalone set this one is pretty poor. I can't see it selling well at all, and that makes me doubt further that a Droid dungeon will ever be made. I think if TLG were going to do it, they should have stuck it on the side of this. BARC Speeder - FTW! hopefully they keep the same design for consistensy, as i can't see any major faults with it. And yes to whoever asked, the Flitknot speeder is a CIS bike ( the one dooku used in EP II) so the droid does have a vehicle Umbaran MHC - wasn't expecting this but if done right this could be an excellent set! Ahsoka should have a new print but I doubt they'll give her a new headpiece to show her slighly more grown up head tails Kamino- Wasted oppurtunity for Lama su Asteroid field- WTF Lego? Coruscant- Which pilot? Phase II? Z-95 Pilot? or Phase 1? Hoth- Isn't a snowspeeder pilot the same as an X-Wing pilot? Endor- ummm... Alderaan- would have preferred Cpt Antilles but the troopers are nice too :D So I guess the BARC and the MHC are the two exclusives then? both CW same as 2011 Now for the pictures!
eric729 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Maybe the set is Kashyyk and it looks like Endor? But with a B-Wing I wouldn't think so...
mordatre Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I wonder why the Commando droids have 'new' asterixes on them? New colour. Probably dark bluish gray.
Sam892 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Looking at the line up of figures in the next wave in guessing that the Clone trooper Battle pack will be both a 501st Phase II and a 212th Phase II trooper. Mainly because of next years big focus on the Umbaran arc. In the Sets I'm guessing that a couple of those clones maybe Fives and Hardcase.
nex Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Wow, MHC and the BARC speeder set just became my must-buy sets of 2013. Forget the Z-95, I mean who cares about Krell when you can get a P2 Rex, a 212th trooper, a new Ahsoka, a new commando droid, and 2 Umbaran soldiers? Edited September 1, 2012 by nex
DarthPotato Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Ooooo, awesome! The two special edition sets sound wonderful, I'll be getting them both! So it looks like Yoda will be the same, but we'll still be getting a new commando droid. That's nice, they did vary in colors. I'm really surprised about all of the clones too. I can't wait to not only get plain Phase 2 clones (I'm pretty sure those are the ones that come in the battle pack), but I'm also excited to get some 212th and 501st troopers. 2013, here we come!
Ceroknight Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I'm glad the sets I want are in my price range! I'm not so interested in that MHC thing but I'm looking forward to the Barc Speeder set.
Fighter of Frizzies Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) for more planet sets. Though as an OT fan, I feel like they have just about exhausted their options (I'd rather have the models though, so hopefully we still get more minis after this). Edited September 1, 2012 by Fighter of Frizzies
OG Legomaniac Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I can't help but wonder what the figure in next years visual dictionary is. I mean they have done all they could with the celebration figures ( Luke, Han and Leia). Maybe Lego will start on the prequels now, maybe a Episode one or two C-3po or a Jango Fett? Just out of curiosity... when was a Leia fig in a visual dictionary? I have the Han and Luke.... but dont anything about a Leia
Super Brick Collector Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Just out of curiosity... when was a Leia fig in a visual dictionary? I have the Han and Luke.... but dont anything about a Leia He meant the ceremony leia is already released since she comes out in the y-wing set. And on another note this list sounds way better now with those 2 new sets announced. I'm gonna take a wild guess but I'm thinking TRU and target exclusives.

OG Legomaniac Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Gotcha. I do have that set and her fig. Start to forget after awhile who came with what in what clothing. Thanks for the info!
Wedge09 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) 75000 Republic Troopers vs. Sith TroopersOne man speeder and two troopers of each faction (2 Sith, 2 Republic*) Price: €16.99 This will be mine, I think it will be a great set 75005 Rancor PitLuke Skywalker*, Malakai*, Gammorean Guard & Rancor* This I think will be a nice set The tiny set , the B-wing in particularly Thank you for the news Admiral Ackbar P.S.

Sam892 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Just out of curiosity... when was a Leia fig in a visual dictionary? I have the Han and Luke.... but dont anything about a Leia Leia was released in the Y-wing set back in January. Don't know why they released her in a set? Maybe LEGO thought the Y-wing wouldn't sell without a main character.
Super Brick Collector Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Gotcha. I do have that set and her fig. Start to forget after awhile who came with what in what clothing. Thanks for the info! No prob.

Maybe LEGO thought the Y-wing wouldn't sell without a main character. I think thats why I forgot about her fig. To me its random/ out of place for her to be in a Y Wing set.
The Legonater Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Still not very impressed with the wave. On the bright side, it saves money for the Hobbit!

Mainly because of next years big focus on the Umbaran arc. In the Sets I'm guessing that a couple of those clones maybe Fives and Hardcase. Interesting guess; currently, I'd bet (again) that it will be an AOTC set. I'm pretty curious what it'll turn out to be Edited September 1, 2012 by Brickadeer
wesker Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I have to admit I am a little disapointed by the lack of sets from the films. At least fans of the Umbarra arc are getting plenty of love this year. Clone Troopers vs Droidekas - Feeling a lot better hearing these are regular droidekas and not the snipers as previously reported. AT-RT - 501st Trooper? Commando Droid? Sniper Droideka? This is definitely CW. Looks like that updated movie Yoda is going to have to wait. BARC Speeder - Looking forward to Phase II Captain Rex and Obi-Wan, although I'm expecting the latter to just be the ROTS figure with the CW face. The BARC with sidecar sounds interesting. Umbarran MHC - Should be an awesome set if that render is anything to go by. Good to see we're also getting a new Ahsoka. I'm no fan of the character but she is one step closer to completing the vast line up of characters from the show. The Umbaran soldiers should be pretty sweet too. Snowspeeder & Hoth - Another rebel? Like I've said in the past, leave the generic troops for the battle packs. The planet sets should have been a good way for Lego to cover characters they normally wouldn't make, or at the very least update some old figures who still had yellow skin or the pupil-less eyes. I hope he at least comes with a different helmet print from the Yavin 4 rebel pilot. B-Wing & Endor - Meh. At least in this case we needed an update for the B-Wing pilot anyway. Tantive IV & Alderaan - The biggest missed opportunity for a Bail Organa figure. Hopefully the rebel is just a placeholder for an updated Captain Antilles.
Brickadeer Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 And on another note this list sounds way better now with those 2 new sets announced. I'm gonna take a wild guess but I'm thinking TRU and target exclusives. No, due to the catalogue, these are regular sets, no exclusives.
Bilbo Baggins Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 A really bad wave in my opinion, I was hoping for a set that was bigger than the Rancor Pit. Really disappointed
North Lego Star Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) No, due to the catalogue, these are regular sets, no exclusives. Are you Sure, I'm positive that lego only makes 6 regular sets every wave, I'm not saying that this is impossible but rather unlikely that these sets are regular wave sets. I think the BARC Speeder set will be a Toys R Us Limited Edition set and the Umbaran MHC(if proven true) will be a Target limited edtion set or, is it possible that these two sets are from the summer wave? Edited September 1, 2012 by North Lego Star
ramjarjamjar Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Do we think that the clones in he battle pack will be plain white ones or will we get a variety? 2 plain plain ones, a 212th and a 501st trooper would be nice but i expect them to save any interesting looking clones for the more expensive sets.
