Oky Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Here's a speculation: The tan hairpiece in this upcoming Ninjago set might be a tan version of Anakin's Ep3 hair from the upcoming Jedi Interceptor. They used a tan version of the CW Anakin hair for Lloyd in the Ninjago TV show, so maybe they are doing the same thing in this set with Anakin's new hair. Quote

I could definitely see that happening! Quote
Infernum Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 It already has. -Sci What? Where is that picture from? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 That hair originated as Anakin hair. It's been used for him since 2008. Quote
Infernum Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Oh, I thought the Lloyd hair was new, but it's just in a weird angle. Upon further inspection I realized they were the same. . Sorry. Quote
Oky Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Somehow it looked different to me too... Never mind. Quote
Darth Malgus Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 That hair is better than the original version that first came out. Hopefully we can see some pics soon that aren't confidential Grogal? Quote
legoboy12345678/David Hall Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 So how about Kmart releases them 2014 Star Wars image, I'd think that'd be much cooler :P Quote
Fives Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 I think LEGO needs to give ROTS Anakin the same hair as Aragorn but in reddish brown. Thats what I did and it looks WAY better. Quote
eric729 Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) I vaguely remember that, but I didn't record a source in the first post...where did we hear that? darth_tater posted it about a month back along with the other rumored sets. Now that I looked back on it, you forgot it then also! Edited September 26, 2013 by eric729 Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Thank you all very much for the links to the prelim pics! I do like the Death Star Trooper's BP since we finally will get some DS Gunners. Which I dislike are three things: The new blasters, that there are Imperial Guards instead of some more useful Imperial characters (like new officers or at least DS Troopers or Stormtroopers - which can be used much more) included and that the Imperial Guards have laserblasters instead of lances (when did they ever have laserblasters?!). If TLG doesn't change these things in their final product, this set won't be a BP of which many people buy several of in order to get a big army of troopers, but more a set to buy only one or maximum two of.

JVM Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Well, some of us are happy to get cheap Royal Guards :D Quote
eric729 Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Well, some of us are happy to get cheap Royal Guards :D It is true that it is nice to have cheap Royal Guards. However, the set would not be good for army building as Klaus-Dieter said. Quote
LegoFjotten Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Yeah, it would be a lot better with a BP that contains figs everyone will want many of. Will probably end up getting a couple of packs though. The old 7667 / 7668 packs were awesome. The current Endor BP is also pretty good. Quote

Klaus-Dieter I agree with you the imperial guards are a major drawback of this set and i can see this going on sale very soon. If it was just one imperial guard then it would of been better. Quote
Tariq j Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I really wish we had four of a kind in a battle pack, that's what makes a good army builder Quote
legocaptainrexfan Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I really wish we had four of a kind in a battle pack, that's what makes a good army builder We are getting that. Quote
kermit Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I am going to guess that the imperial guards will come with printed faces like the scout troopers. Quote
Legoman123 Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I am really looking forward to seeing the remaining sets that we haven't got pictures for yet. Fingers crossed we will see pictures on October 5th. Quote
Tariq j Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I am going to guess that the imperial guards will come with printed faces like the scout troopers. Most likely, yes, nearly all imperial troops have that face, except officers of course. We are getting that. Not in the DS gunner BP. Quote
Cyberbricker Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) DS battlepack needs stormie and officer... Edited September 29, 2013 by Cyberbricker Quote
Cyberbricker Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 If it came with only one Royal Guard I would get 4 or 6, nut now I'm getting only 2! Its good if you don't have Royal Guards yet, but I have 4 already... I will have more Royal guards then stormtroopers if I get more then 2 or 3 of these BP's... At least if i only count the latest update of the stormie... Quote
charlieboy Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 You're all mad! Royal guards are awesome minifigs! Surely it makes a nice change to get a different minifig instead of yet another Stormtrooper? Don't get me wrong, I love stormies and have an army of them but with any luck the Royal guards will be updated a little from the last ones. Quote
Infernum Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I am really looking forward to seeing the remaining sets that we haven't got pictures for yet. Fingers crossed we will see pictures on October 5th. Why that date? Maybe on the 13th for my birthday. Quote
