dr01d3k4 Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 i have changed my expectations for the hoth base and here they are, not as crazy though: Minifigs *leia *han *R2D2 *C3P0 *luke * *vader* *2 or 3 snowies *2 or 3 rebels *2 rebel pilots *1 or 2 tauntauns *and possibly a Wampa The set * control room *1 snowspeeder *1 speeder bike *1 mini hanger, big enough for 1 or 2 snowspeeders *maybe a wampa''s cave *1 or 2 turrets *1 ion turret *shield generator *probe droid Quote
dr01d3k4 Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 my expectations for the republic cruiser: Minifigs *Qui-gon *obi-wan *two pilots The set *controls in cockpit *for play, built in sections can be destroyed like movie *walkway through craft, connecting to opening door *retractable landing gear.

Vader Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 i have changed my expectations for the hoth base and here they are, not as crazy though:Minifigs *leia *han *R2D2 *C3P0 *luke * *vader* *2 or 3 snowies *2 or 3 rebels *2 rebel pilots *1 or 2 tauntauns *and possibly a Wampa The set * control room *1 snowspeeder *1 speeder bike *1 mini hanger, big enough for 1 or 2 snowspeeders *maybe a wampa''s cave *1 or 2 turrets *1 ion turret *shield generator *probe droid WOW!!! Youve really scaled down your expectations their havent you :-| Sigh it seems pretty obvious to me that your either way out of touch with legos sets or your trying to wind people up. |-/ Oh and we have an edit button you know, its used to stop double posts!!!

SWMAN Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 i have changed my expectations for the hoth base and here they are, not as crazy though:Minifigs *leia *han *R2D2 *C3P0 *luke * *vader* *2 or 3 snowies *2 or 3 rebels *2 rebel pilots *1 or 2 tauntauns *and possibly a Wampa The set * control room *1 snowspeeder *1 speeder bike *1 mini hanger, big enough for 1 or 2 snowspeeders *maybe a wampa''s cave *1 or 2 turrets *1 ion turret *shield generator *probe droid Way better than before. I still don't know about the shiled generator and ion cannon. These might be too big for lego to make and give credit to. I am still curious how they are going to make it, so I will not pass anymore judgement. I think Hoth base, is just a small portion of the actual Echo base. -ZotS[/b[/quote In the movie, echo is the base, and Hoth is the planet, not the other way around. They are located in the Hoth System, and their base is called Echo. If you pay attention in the begining of ESB, Han/Luke make a call to echo base, and the imperials talk about the Hoth System on the Star Destroyer. Quote
mutley777 Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Well lego do try to simplify names of things. The clone scout walker is a good ex-sample of this as it should be called AT-RT. :-) Quote
UltraPrime Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Lets break it down a bit more objectively. It's a $50 set, so compare it to another set of same value. The Imperial Landing Craft set has 471 pieces, so thats a good point to start. I think it's not to much of a leap to assume the set will include a Snowspeeder, so that would be the main part of set. 4500 contained 202 pieces, so you're just under half there. I would expect the actual base to be the next biggest part. I would expect to have the scene with the big transparent screens, some consoles, and probably two walls. I think about 100 pieces for this scene. So, that would leave about 150 pieces. A 'complete' minifig (with weapon) is 5 pieces, so 5-6 figs would be my guess. There would probably be a small Imperial vehicle in there, such as a speeder bike, a couple of tauntauns, and that would be the meat of it. Still looking forward to this set a great deal. Quote
dr01d3k4 Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 how does anyone think the republic cruiser will be built? i reckon 450 - 550 parts for the hoth base, and about 1000 pieces for the cruiser, which i think might be a playset like the 6211 star destroyer. Quote
rexcal Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Sorry, this is gonna be off-topic, but for a reason: Don't get mad at me, but I'd like to comment on the harsh tone I noticed lately in this thread. I haven't had contact with any of you guys, so don't think I'm trying to help a friend or something, but I think that dr01d3k4 deserves a little more respect, even though I admit he could've read and researched more carefully before some of his postings. But the continued threatening won't help keeping up a friendly and respectful climate in here... I f you feel this might be adressed to you, please take a minute to think about it. That's all I'm asking for. Quote
stan Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Ok, heres my preditiction for the hoth base: Hoth Leia Hoth Han Hoth Luke Chewy R2-D2 C3PO 1x Hoth Rebel 1x Tauntaun (2 if were really lucky) (possibly wampa) (possibly a small snowscape scene (either cave or trench)) Snowspeeder It will be similar to the x-wing rerelease with extra figs Quote
aayla-secura Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 It will be similar to the x-wing rerelease with extra figs Yeah!! I too I love the X wing with these extra figs! Quote
dr01d3k4 Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 i don't think the hoth set is actully going to come with the droids, han, leia and *vader* because i have been thinking about what happens during the battle of hoth and these characters have nothing to do with the battle, they just appear at the end. what is someones expections for the 7665 cruiser Quote
aayla-secura Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Mhmm.. i ve just seen a cruiser VERY nice!! I think 2 Pilots Qui Obi wan, And maybe other captains... I cant remember because in film you dont see so much from it! Quote
