Legoman Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 i can imagine it will be like GG'S fighter.at first we all hate it but then we will all get it after a few reviews. oh, and yoda, over here in New Zealand the hunt starts in late augest (sp?) :'-( hey hey!!!! my 500th post *y* *y* :-P Quote
Wout Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Oh well, the sith fighter is not so bad, but I don't want them (and I already have a Darth Maul) Quote
Vader Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 For me the S1 looks more like its supposed to and better than the first, but its just so small and flimsy looking. Im hoping someone will come up with a great moc version, at leats that might tempt me to buy it. Quote
sam89 Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 I found some new pics of the Republic Cruiser in this gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=248980 It's way too fat, especially at the back. However, this does look like a prototype, as some pieces are incorrect or on the wrong colour. For instance, the area where the middle section meets the back section looks too fat because there's too much red; there should be some extra white to break it up. EDIT: I've noticed that they gave it landing gear: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2460598 Quote
Starwars4J Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Great find, sam! It doesn't make me want it any more, but I'm glad to see that I was right about the new aliens not being single-molds. Those human sets look great Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Great find Sam (like always) ;-) I really think it will look good in my flat :-P Regarding the prototype issue, you know what is possible is that those responsible for assembling the set did a lousy job !! That always happen because they often need to build the sets in very little time without notices or what have you ;-) That could explain it !! Cruiser On !! *yoda* Quote
Oliverphoenix Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Hmmm whats with the Mini Super Star Destroyer etc?Surely they are just customs? The Republic Cruiser looks ok but I guess I'll have to see it in hand in the shops before I commit to its purchase,the front does kinda remind me of a old tacky 80s lego train set from one of them building books all them years ago though.

Vader Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 it horrible, it's WAY to fat :-X :-X Well it is abit fat but i still think its a good ship, not one ill buy unless on sell mind you but good all the same. Quote
Axle Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Do not judge your friends and call them fat. ;-) Quote
casewindu Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 i am normally the one to stick up for new sets, (Sith ship, echo base), and this is no exception. it may be a little blocky but i think it looks a lot like the ship we see in episode one. I dont see anything wrong with the colour and so what if its fat?!? more space for stuff inside! ;-) Quote
sam89 Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 I did this quick mock up of what the RC would look like with proper colours (extra whites and blacks): I think it improves the model ;-) Quote
RoscoPC Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 FYI the Naboo SF on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=110118761012 *y* Quote

sam89 Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 More pics and news on Republic Cruiser, from Classic Space: The major point I want to make here is that the playability in these new sets is off the charts. In particular, the republic cruiser set has a ton of cool play features. Not only only does the cockpit open, but the front section of the ship slides forward, allowing an escape pod to drop off. The escape pod itself, while simple in shape, has some nice SNOT inside, and pulls itself together with a satisfying snap. There is a knob on the bottom of the ship, which spins a radar dish on the top, then there's the concealed weapons, and all the stuff in the interior. Oh yes, and not only is there a green printed R2 unit, but there's retracting LANDING GEAR! http://www.newbrickorder.com/dan/?m=review It looks awesome in these pics! Quote
Brainbox Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 I love the ladder for the Naboo N-1. It's a great use of a piece. The fact that there's an escape pod is nice, seeing as how there should be one. It's not a bad design either. The interior isn't really worth bothering with though, seeing as how there's all the mechanisms for holding the sides on. At least, I think that's what it is. Quote

Vader Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 Wow this sure makes the set look even better, hmmmm if this keeps up i may have to go back on my word and buy this thing. Quote
dunamis Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 Wow, the cruiser looks better than I expected. I like the way the pod drops down. Gotta love the Lays potato chips and Krispy Kreme donuts to go along side your LEGOs! Quote

Scouty Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 Awsome! This may be a must buy, as well as the MTT and Naboo fighte, for me!!! Quote
JoeMI6 Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 Not a fan of the cruiser, doesn't look like it's worth it for me. The only thing I'd really want is the new astromech. I am really pleased with the new Hoth set, as I missed out on many of the first wave. The new figs look pretty good, and although the actual set is quite bare, I'll be making tons of use out of the nice white parts. Also, a snowspeeder will be a welcome addition to my collection.

Zaktan of the Shadows Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 Those pics are awesome! The info helps too. Thats it, I am definantly going to buy it! -ZotS Quote
