mutley777 Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 I will definitly buy several copies (G like Mutley said that is such an understatment :-D ) :-D Lol. All that ranting and raving and you are still going push the sales figures up by buying multiples :-D It's not a great set but it's not a bad set. It is a shame lego think we nead another version of the snowspeeder but when the new AT-AT was anounced it became a bit of a certainty. It will be the the cheapest set to have snowies and you get 5 more figs too, 7 minifigs (1 new) and a probe droid is not that bad for the price. The landing craft only came with 5 for a similar price tag. Quote
Axle Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 7665 Republic Cruiser 7666 Hoth Base -l2k- I have fainted at that sight. It is AMAZING!! I love it now.(hoth base). Can I post those pics on my website? (Only thing wrong with echo base is how is the falcon able to fly out the door? >_<. *wacko* Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 At least the Republic cruiser has a interior... Aren't those snowtrooper turrets, the turrets from Lego Star Wars II? They look similar. -ZotS Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Another annoying thing about that Hoth set (just for the fun :-P ): the presence of Pilot Luke in that set !! Why not 2 different rebels !! How many luke Pilot do we need ?? Only him has that helmet |-/ + the lightsaber is not even chromed |-/ I wonder how the Hoth Rebels will look like: what head TLC decided to put ? I bet on that classic smiley head for cost reduction hehe !! *yoda* Quote
Starwars4J Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 the lightsaber is not even chromed |-/ That's been bothering me for awhile. It seems like lately Lego is going back and forth on the whole chromed vs. bley lightsaber handle! First they were bley with Grevious in the chase set, and we all felt horrible. Then later chromed lightsabers came back and...now bley again?! Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 They probably did use smileys... like they always do. -ZotS Quote
Vader Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Wow where to start on these 2 new sets............ |-/ Well firstly i like the Cruiser it looks ok but i doubt ill get it as the ship just dosent interest me, the new figs look good thats for sure so ill more than likely pick them up from BL. Oh gezzzz what can be said about the hoth set thats not already been said? Ok ill give it a go, this has to be one of the crappest sets ive ever seen!!!! Yet another megablocking snowspeeder!!! Yet another Luke!!! and worst of all we have doors that protect what??? Nothing no base at all, now i expected something like this from TLC but i had hoped that they would at least give us a taun taun or wampa but no not even that. Sure its got rebels and snowies but they could of been given to us in minifig packs, just another way to bleed us dry TLC congratulations! >:-( Quote
Zane Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 I like the Hoth set. ... Yeah I do actually. Clever way to release a Snowspeeder for the upcoming AT-AT, and not a bad looking one either. Quote
SWMAN Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Amazing Sets. Love them both. The RC is sweet, and the HB is realaly cool. It could use a little more substance, but is still cool. Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 I forsee that the new torso of those RC officers (or pilots ?) will be used a lot in Star Strek MOCs ;-) *yoda* Quote
Hinckley Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 We all also have to remember that lego is, afterall, primarily a childrens toy. I refuse to ever remember that. Quote
BearHeart Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Is the RC crimson colored or bright red, I can't tell from that pic. Quote
Starwars4J Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Is the RC crimson colored or bright red, I can't tell from that pic. The real thing or the set? The real thing is supposed to be dark/republic red. The set is a mix of republic red, normal red, bright red, and salmon Quote
BearHeart Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 The real thing or the set? The real thing is supposed to be dark/republic red. The set is a mix of republic red, normal red, bright red, and salmon I was meaning the LEGO set, thanks. *y* Quote
Corvus Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 At first glance, the thing that jumped to mind was the green artoo. While these don't jump out at me too much, I'll probably get both; the cruiser for a civilian transport and the base for figs. I suppose I don't like these that much because I wanted a gunship. :-D Quote
Sir von Lego Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Hi, where do you see a green droid? greetings Hendrik Quote
Starwars4J Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Hi,where do you see a green droid? greetings Hendrik Hi, Hendrik. If you look in the picture of the Republic Cruiser, posted earlier (as well as on the Eurobricks front page), one of the R2 units is in green, as opposed to the Blue, Red, and Black that have come before. Quote
Vader Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 You know i never thought lego would give us a green droid, though im not sure why weve got one in this set. To my knowledge their was never one in the RC, i remember their being a few different ones on the queens cruiser but not the RC *wacko* Quote
Axle Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I think it's there cause there might be some astrodroid port inside......? Quote
casewindu Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I have fainted at that sight. It is AMAZING!! I love it now.(hoth base). Can I post those pics on my website?(Only thing wrong with echo base is how is the falcon able to fly out the door? >_<. *wacko* haha try to get the new falcon through those doors! :-D yes i think the hoth base was good but could have been better like a tauntaun of corse and a wanpa. I have a feeling this may be one of a few hoth sets you may be able to join together. (heres hoping ;-) ) yes but you could say the same for kit fisto (sorry i double posted didn't i) *edit by *vader* : yes you did so i changed it for you. Quote
Vader Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Oh i can see han and chewie trying to negotiate a way out with the falcon through those doors X-D , if as reported the hoth base (its not a base by any means more like hoth escape) comes with a new white K-3p0 then thats at least something new for us i guess. Quote
Andrex Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Sweet Zombie Melons. That Hoth set is DELICIOUS! I am so glad we got pictures in the end. SO many troops, turrets, probe droids, scenery, Snowspeeder, WOW. So what no Wampa or Tauntauns, we have a nice little collection here ^_^. As for the cruiser I always wanted one of these. It seems a wee bit small, but hey, a nice return of the Episode I line which such an awesome design. Ah glorious day :D. Quote
aayla-secura Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Yeah.. Hoth Escape i will buy because of the minifigs and speeder... Cruiser... mhmmm depends on price ..! Who knows how much he costs?? thanks -=Aayla=- Quote
Andrex Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 This is quite a large part of what could be a bigger Hoth scene, I'll make sure to throw in my turrety thing from the last Snowspeeder set. And as I now take a closer look at the Cruiser it really does appeal to me. Minifig size or not, it was always something I wanted, especially since Lego Star Wars 1. It would be fun to have just for that reason. Now we just need a Tantive IV lol. Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Now we just need a Tantive IV lol. Not lol at all ;-) We definitly a smaller RBR with new figs !! When you think of it, there are not that many big ships they can resize and sell at around 150 Quote
