Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Awesome! love the MTT! Its freaking sweet! Nice detail too. And Kit Fisto has eyes! And apparently the Naboo starfighter and Vulture droid has a flick-fire missile. Cool anyways! And the exxclusives... lets hope one is the Hoth base! -ZotS Quote
sam89 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Here's some pics from Rebelscum which show the NSF stand and the JSF docked on the ring: Also, here's something interesting from Rebelscum's British Toy Fair coverage: Aside from the summer sets there will be a number of new novelties including a magnet set themed on Jabba's Palace which will be revealed soon, and LEGO plans to have at least three exclusive (most likely Ultimate Collector Series) sets sold on their website. I wonder if there'll be new figs? I hope so! Quote
xwingyoda Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Once again our dear Sam strikes with fantastic news ;-) Tks so much mate :'-) Its great to have a back angle on that Naboo Fighter !! The stand is small and simple !! VEry effective ;-) So that second pic clearly shows that the JSF can hold well on its booster ring !! Who would have thought so ?? :-D new novelties including a magnet set themed on Jabba's Palace WTF ?? new novelties ? Looooooool novelties already mean new X-D Anyhow, I'm always for new stuff yeay !! magnet set ?? I don't like the sound of that !! Remeber those crap LUL MFs ?? Lets wait and see hehe !! I really hope for new figs as well !! G, '07 keeps getting better !!! SW Forever !!! *yoda* Quote
Vader Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Wow great find Sam, the JSF looks good inside the hyper ring from what i can see...hmmm might have to buy this one after all. As for more sets and in particular a jabbas palace well lets hope its better than the last one. :-X Quote
xwingyoda Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 As for more sets and in particular a jabbas palace well lets hope its better than the last one. :-X Face it mate, it really CAN'T be worse :-D *yoda* Quote
sam89 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 By magnets, I assume he means like these: They're like normal figs but with magnets in, so you can't take them apart. Quote
Vader Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Face it mate, it really CAN'T be worse :-D *yoda* Well you do have a point their buddy. X-D ;-) Quote
oo7 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 You cannot separate the torso from the legs, but besides that, you would be unable to tell the difference from a normal minifig. I bought that one up there, it's pretty good, but I might want more mimifig MOCing capabilies with Jabba palace figs. :-/ I have beame frustrated tring to pull apart Vader and Chewy multiple times, just to relize that I forgot they were magnets yet again. X-D Although, you can see a little square of black in the top whole of the back of the legs if you look carefully, but that doesn't bother me at all. Quote
dunamis Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Wow, great news sam, thanks! Three UCS sets! I can't wait!!! *wub* Quote
xwingyoda Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 By magnets, I assume he means like these: They're like normal figs but with magnets in, so you can't take them apart. Are those magnets even considered as a "set" per se ?? Or TLC is trying a new playability feature with a magnetic set ? So many questions without answers !! arghhhh *yoda* Quote

CopMike Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Thanks again Sam :-D! Looks nice - I kind of like the magnetidea from Jabba - he Quote
mutley777 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Well the jedi star fighter looks very nice when docked :-) Does that wording actualy say there is a jabba's palace set coming? I'm not so sure it does, but i do hope so. Quote

So many questions without answers !! arghhhh *yoda* I think in this case they might've meant "set" more like a group. That being said I got one of each of the magnet sets and would never buy them again :-| I need my torsos to mix and match ;-) Quote

oo7 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 X-O I was just browsing S@H and here in the US the Clone Battlepacks are on Backorder for July 15!!! I'd say this has got to be the most popular sets ever for S@H. If they were smart they would keep them on the site for at least 2.5/3 more years, but I doubt if that will happen. Quote
Zane Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Hm, magnet sets normally contain minifigures from recent sets. So may there possibly be a new palace set? Or will that be more Sailbarge based? Quote
mutley777 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 That being said I got one of each of the magnet sets and would never buy them again :-| I need my torsos to mix and match ;-) I have 10 of the green clone trooper magnets in my swamp speeders. They are cheap and it is near impossible to tell the difference when they are siting down or standing up (only from behined do they show). If we got more clones from Ep2-3 or imperial troops are you saying you would not buy them! I know i could not resist them >:-) Quote

If we got more clones from Ep2-3 or imperial troops are you saying you would not buy them! I know i could not resist them >:-) Well, we already have a cheap way to get Ep 3 clones (and those come with guns!). As for imperial troops...nah, I like the ability to separate the torsos if need be. As for the Ep 2 clones? Hm...I'd seriously consider that :-P Quote
Scouty Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Interesting, thanks Sam for the news. Magnets. Awww, If they would come with a set :-( , and were not magnets. Quote
sam89 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Apparently the magnets will be released in February. Dunno what's in them though. Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 If they remake the Jabbas palace... I would be happy! I mean the first was crap, the Jabbas sailbarge alternate is even better! -ZotS Quote
Vader Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 So if its like previous magnet sets we should get 3 figs, hmmm perhaps a lando, guard and bib? or c-3p0? Theirs quite a number of combinations i guess lego could use. Quote

I would say 3PO, bib, and a guard. The only reason I wouldn't say Lando is that the Helmet would be way too easy to get a hold of if he was it in. Quote
Vader Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Your probably right SW4J, shame as those helmets are always welcome to a collection. Quote
