mutley777 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I saw this great bit of news on FBTB:QUOTE Well, I guess I get to be the bearer of a piece of good news. I was there at Brickfest today and Steve Witt and another Lego representative informed me that while not pictured, the Hoth base will also include a white c-3po. K-3PO??? Sound good? Awesome! X-D HOLY CRAP!! Thats great news and almost makes up for the lack of tauntuan's. Quote
mutley777 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 My god! This is going to be an expensive year! :-D Quote
Scouty Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Yay! K-3PO! This is becoming a great and expensive year *wacko* Money drainage on! Quote
Trionx Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Very nice sets, *y* I'm glad the Hoth base has some snowtroopers but I'm a bit upset that they don't have any long blasters in ether of these sets :-( (I think that the snowtroopers look better with long blasters than with short ones)and the new snowspeeder looks nice, and I just love that new green astromech droid. I AM getting both these sets *wub* Quote
aayla-secura Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Is there a PAGE from where you have this pics?? This page with the blue in the back can i see this in full?? Quote
oo7 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I saw this great bit of news on FBTB: Wow, thanks Sam! white is odd though...I'm hoping for flat silver or maybe just maybe even chrome. 8- Quote

OK its a little better than the other one but still |-/ (at least I can stop modding my others 4 snowspeders :-D ) * the gun turret is not even well designed >:-( * No bloody taun taun >:-( At least there is a nice probe droid and yellow vehicle thingy :-| + new 2-colours BURPS Very disappointing !! Darn you TLC !! Curse you freaking dsigners SOBs >:-( At least there is that RC that looks pretty good IMO ;-) We need a lame ship from th lame PT to have loads of new figs >:-( Darn you again !!! Green astromech & blue officers are nice !! I love the new jedi face !! W waited all that time for...THAT !! How crappy!! Pissed Off On !! *yoda* EDIT: I jut read about K3PO and that is sweeeeet !! Makes out a tinybit for th rest of that crap !! Quote
oo7 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Admins, I wouldn't say this base isn't hot, although as a matter of fact it's quite chilly, but I think it would be better described as a Hoth Base. ;-) Quote
Scouty Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Unless there is going to become another set called Hot Base 8-| . Tssk, tssk, check your spelling :-P . That Luke Skywalker maquette looks pretty *wub* . Quote
DoubleT Posted March 31, 2007 Author Posted March 31, 2007 I like the new sets, thanks for the pics... Wasent there a rumor for a smaller set? maybe with Han Leia etc? Quote
xwingyoda Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Loooool I was looking at that Hoth Crap Base (oops :-D ) and I noticed the following crap: * How many shades of grey are there on that door ?? Does this set suffers from the same problem a the Caf Quote
mutley777 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Loooool I was looking at that Hoth Crap Base (oops :-D ) and I noticed the following crap:* Theopening is way too narrow for a snowspeeder to come out X-D imagine a X-Wing looooooool Let the crap naming continue :-D *yoda* If you buy 4 (and you know you will) the door could be 4 times as big. Then you might even get the MF through it :-D Quote
Starwars4J Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I don't know, I still can't get over the number of different shades of Red in the RC :-X And the blockyness...and meh. I wasn't expecting them to be amazing, but I was expecting them to be better than this :-/ The figs are the only saving grace, really... Quote
mutley777 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I am suprised to hear you say that Starwars4j as i think they did a better job on the outside of this than they did with the 6211 stardestroyer. It just remains to be seen what we get inside, if any :-/ . Quote
Starwars4J Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Well IMO at least the ISD is recognizable and isn't a patchwork of colors. Yes, they messed up with the bridge, but it isn't that bad overall. With this...it's so random and blocky :-X At least it's a good source of Red though Quote
Chuck Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Loooool I was looking at that Hoth Crap Base (oops :-D ) and I noticed the following crap:* How many shades of grey are there on that door ?? Does this set suffers from the same problem a the Caf Quote
Starwars4J Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 The doors slide out :-| -l2k- And yet even with the doors completely open it would still be too small for the speeder, let alone the X Wing... Quote
mutley777 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 It might just fit through as the speeder is 16 studs wide and the opening is 20 at it's widest point. but that does mean the doors will nead to slide almost completely clear of the opening. Quote
Starwars4J Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 It might just fit through as the speeder is 16 studs wide and the opening is 20 at it's widest point. but that does mean the doors will nead to slide almost completely clear of the opening. But the widest point is near the top, whereas the widest part of the speeder is near the bottom, so the top wouldn't fit. And it you tried it lower, the SURPs would still be in the way... Quote
oo7 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 At the widest part the door way is 20 studs wide providing the door slide fully, but since that is so high up the cockpit would hit. A more reasonable spot would be 18 studs long. The speeder is a little under 16 studs as the wings are folded slightly. So even if the doors stick out one stud each, it will still just manage to sqeeze through just like Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones. ;-) Quote
captaintau Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Hmm.....I'm a bit confused about the door in Hoth; obviously it opens and closes but I dont see how that's possible with those studs exposed on the top of the interlocking wedges of the door. If I'm right, the "male" part is three plates tall (one brick tall), whereas the "female" part is six plates (two bricks) tall. Sorry, I've not actually used these measurements before. Am I making sense? Yoda: why do you have find fault in EVERY new set? Be grateful that we've got these new sets at all. Maybe your standards are too high? What figures are we getting with each set? RC: Obi-Wan, Qui-Gom green astromech, two staff (who - senate pilots) Hoth: how many Snowtroopers, rebels, etc? How many probe droids? K-3PO? Luke and Dack? What else? Quote
