January 6, 201411 yr I rather leave out c3po and R2 since they were asked to leave the bar and weren't in the scene
January 6, 201411 yr The preliminary photos are pretty clear about what figures are in the AT-AT and Star Destroyer
January 6, 201411 yr I really hope the two remaining minifigure slots don't go to R2-D2 and C-3PO. Ponda Baba and Wuher would be ideal!
January 7, 201411 yr Winter has the v-wing and utapau troopers...summer? I'm really liking the image of the new star destroyer! Though I'm also interested in the final look of the dewback and some of the other members of the cantina
January 7, 201411 yr I hope the hologram Palpatine is an improvement from the previous one we got eight years ago
January 7, 201411 yr Yeah, 3PO isn't super common, but with so many unmade characters in th cantina, I hope that a spot isn't taken up by yet another R2. I mean he's 1 of 4 characters in all 6 movies, and he's iconic, but he is hands down the most common star wars fig.
January 7, 201411 yr The rule of two only applies to Sith, Lego has made lots of sets containing more than two of the same figs I do not know about that. Did not get more than 2 of those awesome scout troopers in the ewok village. Edited January 7, 201411 yr by Something_Awesome
January 7, 201411 yr The rule of two only applies to Sith, Lego has made lots of sets containing more than two of the same figs I challenge you to find 5 such sets from the last 5 years. Any theme. (Droids don't count, BTW) I can think of one off the top of my head, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find that many. Well-gone are the days of the Blacktron MIB with 5 identical minifigs! I seriously doubt that there will be 3 or more of the same minifig in the Cantina.
January 7, 201411 yr If R2-D2 and C-3PO are coming in the Sandcrawler then there's no point in also including them in the Cantina.
January 7, 201411 yr Yea there's not that many with 2+ of the same figs only ones that were like that was the at ot 2009 clone battle pack and the mandalorian battle pack
January 7, 201411 yr That is what I love about this theme, it has gone on so long, we are now starting to reach fan levels of minifig obscurity. TC-4 and the Cantina band members I never thought would be produced. I wonder if TLG is going to be doing anything special since this is the 15th Anniversary of the theme.
January 7, 201411 yr Yea there's not that many with 2+ of the same figs only ones that were like that was the at ot 2009 clone battle pack and the mandalorian battle pack Hmm, you forgot: 7264 Imperial Inspection 10195 AT-OT & Dropship 4482 AT-TE 7126 Battle Droid Carrier 7163 Republic Gunship 7184 MTT 7654 Droid Battle Pack 7662 MTT 7667 Imperial Dropship 7668 Rebel Scout Speeder 8018 AAT 10144 Sandcrawler So it doesn't seem to be too special... Greetings. Hendrik
January 7, 201411 yr Hmm, you forgot: 7264 Imperial Inspection 10195 AT-OT & Dropship 4482 AT-TE 7126 Battle Droid Carrier 7163 Republic Gunship 7184 MTT 7654 Droid Battle Pack 7662 MTT 7667 Imperial Dropship 7668 Rebel Scout Speeder 8018 AAT 10144 Sandcrawler So it doesn't seem to be too special...

Greetings. Hendrik Droids also don't count
January 7, 201411 yr If R2-D2 and C-3PO are coming in the Sandcrawler then there's no point in also including them in the Cantina. Well that's a $300 set...a lot of people can't afford that. But I agree that the droids aren't needed, especially because they weren't allowed in the bar. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Chewie as a possible minifig. TLG loves putting him in everything they can.
January 7, 201411 yr I would really like to see C3PO in the Cantina. After all the droid scanner is useless if there's no droid to attempt coming in. Plus TC-4 includes new leg printing and I'm dying to for a C3PO with that printing and there's only so many possibilities in this years sets for him to appear. The Sandcrawler is just too expensive for me to buy, so I would rather not have him exclusive to that set.
January 7, 201411 yr I wonder why everyone (except Hendrik and Legos486) thinks there is an absolute maximum of two same figs in one set? Evidence has already been provided that it has happene before. Why wouldn't Lego throw in one extra Bith, if that's what fans want?

Evidence has already been provided that it has happene before. Why wouldn't Lego throw in one extra Bith, if that's what fans want? It's called recent statistics 8 minifigs is already pushing it for a set of ~600 pcs, and to maximize the sales they need to include the "legends". Fans will be thrown a bone to gnaw in a shape of one or two "obscures" like Ponda Baba or a Bith. 3 musicians may happen in a galaxy far, far away, but zero chance for it in these parts of the universe...

I seriously doubt that there will be 3 or more of the same minifig in the Cantina. challenge accepted! 3866 The Battle of Hoth (2012) (contains even 4,9 and12 of the same (micro)fig) 7914 Mandalorian Battle pack (2011) 79106 Cavalry Builder set (2013) (TLR) 9471 Uruk hai army (2012) (LotR) 9474 The Battle of Helms deep (2012) (LotR) All the complete boxes of CMF (x12) And then there are of course various super packs, do they count? okay, you got me, most is cheating, you won
January 7, 201411 yr I was about to call a foul and then saw the last line The only true exceptions are Mandalorian and Clones battle packs, but these are well battle packs with added value of army building. And as everyone knows, war brings bigger profit then obscure jazz ensembles

The Sandcrawler is just too expensive for me to buy, so I would rather not have him exclusive to that set. I mostly agree with you, but I'd rather have him in another smaller set than the Cantina.
January 7, 201411 yr New catalogue includes photo of new ISD. Love it! Does the actual catalog have pictures? -Sci
