sam89 Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Jeremy posted this over at Rebelscum. Unfortunately there were no pics allowed: I visited the LEGO stand at the British Toy Fair today and got my hands on the MTT, Naboo N1 and JSF with Hyper Booster RingI take back what I said about the [utl=http://www.rebelscum.com/lego_set7141.asp]Naboo Starfighter (7141)[/url] doesn't need remaking. They've done a really nice job on the new one. It's much closer to the UCS set than the original, and all over less blocky and much more sleek. The silly block with missile "stand" has gone to be replaced by a spring-loaded, rubber headed nose mounted rocket (like the one in the TIE Bomber and Technics Stormtrooper). There is also a stand that I don't thank has been seen before. It's a shame that there was a photography ban in place. The JSF with Hyper Booster Ring was nice. I'm not really excited about having another JSF, but the ring does add somethign to the set. The Kit Fisto minifig that I saw wasn't like the one shown at the Paris Toy Fair. This one was a soft rubber head that had rings painted on his head tails, as well as a mouth and eyes. The staff member I talked to said that the material of the head would change from rubber (which was just a demo material) to hard plastic, but LEGO weren't sure if they could get the paint details printed onto the head. I expect that we'll see somethign closer to the Bib Fortuna or Gamorrean Guard heads from the Jabba's Palace sets. The biggest pleaser was the MTT. I've always liked this vessel, but felt let down by their original one which was very platey and not very sturdy. The new one fixes both of those faults and goes a lot further to boot! A great deal of thought has been put into this set, which will weigh in at 1300 pieces (for Quote
Starwars4J Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 That sounds absolutely fantastic. All those blasters...I've never been a big fan of droids, but the Droideka sounds impressive. It's a shame about Kit's facial details though... Quote
dunamis Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Sounds great. Thanks for posting, Sam89. I'm really liking the sound of the MTT and the Naboo fighter is growing on me based on what Jeremy says. Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 1300 peices?! Thats almost as much as the ISD! Cool, sounds great! I will definantly pics the Jedi Starfighter and MTT! -ZotS Quote
Capn Kirk 911 Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 thanks for the news I can't wait for the sets to come out! ;-) Quote
Scouty Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Thank you for the news! These 07' sets are really taking up to their names!!! Quote
CopMike Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Thanks for posting the info Sam - let the summer come soon .... X-D! copmike Quote
Scouty Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 22 figures........*fwoomp*.....my brain just exploded. C-c-can t-this be p-p-possible,eh. Hehee. Well, a redesign AT-AT would be lovely, a must buy for me, if it is VERY sturdy, and the head is not attached by one axle. and Two seats for the drivers please :-) ! Quote
JoeMI6 Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Re-design AT-AT would be my dream. But I think I might not be willing to spend that much on a set, as I've got other things money might be spent on. Quote
captaintau Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Jeremy posted this over at Rebelscum. Etc. Hang on, that quote hasn't come out as expected. The bit I'm referring to is: "One battledroid arm has been changed so that the guns will point the right way" Does this meam that each Battle Droid will have one new arm and one old ar, or just one droid will have two new arms? Quote
mutley777 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Yep that's right. Each droid has one old and one new. Quote
captaintau Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Yep that's right. Each droid has one old and one new. Thanks. Interesting Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 That is intresting. Its more like the real Battle droids though. -ZotS Quote
sam89 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Here's a bit of news I saw from ThePrivateUniverse.co.uk from the UK Toy Fair 2007: The big news though is that Lego isn Quote
Darthking623 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 It was so annoying yesturday. I was in a big shopping centre in france to stock up on wine. when suddenly I see a boy aged around four waving the clone battle pack in my face. He was getting on my nerves so much. I was in a good mind just to go over to him and give him Quote
Zane Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Ah, lovely. The MTT looks great, though I'm not sure I'll get it over the Sailbarge (which may also be reduced by the time of the MTT's release). Quote
xwingyoda Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Here's a bit of news I saw from ThePrivateUniverse.co.uk from the UK Toy Fair 2007: Tks Sam for these great details ;-) Looking forward to that Naboo stand hehe !! But the biggest Yeay is those 3-5 S@H exclu sets 8- Quote
Darth Andrew Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I'm also disappointed by the Jedi Interceptor's price. Thankfully, it's the set that I least want to get out of the other two summer sets, so I may skip it (especially considering these 3-5 other mystery sets 8- Quote
Darthking623 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 The jedi starfighters price might not end up at Quote
Darthking623 Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 well I just got the gorgeous imperial landing craft its definately a must have (especially if u live in america). *y* Quote
Two-Faced Batman Fan Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I'm excited to hear about the S@H exclusives, but personally I would rather see System sets than UCS sets. System sets are funner *sweet* Quote
