It's of course not as flat as a pyramid, there are side panels and the upper decks are connected to those. Still, those side panels fold down entirely, so if you open it up, the underside, side panels, and upper decks lie completely flat on the table. My first impression of the model was, that it was not as high and sitting much more on the ground than the previous one. Having said that, I own only the midi model, so I might be wrong. I liked it a lot more than the old System ISD, the overall shape looks better, more menacing. Still, being the one set I was looking forward for the most, I was a little disappointed. No figures on the bridge (I didn't figure out where the pilots are going to be seated) and perhaps just no big surprises. But that's just me and I am sure this is much better than the previous one and an amazing set.

I think it was different to the painters cap.

The Advent calendar figures were all displayed in a show case, and I didn't take a too close look at it. I just remember there was Riekan (sp?) and Tatooine Luke, which was a surprise, I had my money on Hoth Luke. The pilot seemed to be a normal pilot, forgot what the helmet looked like.
February 4, 201411 yr Thanks Archer and Zzz. This does indeed clarify quite a bit! My anticipation has ignited again.
February 4, 201411 yr There's nothing I've heard on any of the discussions to dim my enthusiasm for this wave. Many thanks to those that have shared what they've seen. ISD, Cantina, B-Wing, AT-AT and Sandcrawler are musts and I'll wait and see just what's different about the Snowspeeder before going for that one. I'm so glad I'm allowed a certain Lego budget through my business account for 'office decoration'!!

Well, I think my initial expectations of the cantina being a half bothered attempt by Lego seem to be confirmed. Lego is well aware of the strange obsession that the fans have with this set and they feel safe that it will be a nice cash cow. So they make some slight improvements and add a few fancy figures and charge a nice sum for it.
February 5, 201411 yr If it's true about obi wan having a printed robe I can see him having the new hood piece that wyldstyle has only in brown.

Let's face it... unless we got a £200 set with 12 or so aliens... something Ewok Village size... we wouldn't be happy. It's not the worst incarnation of the Cantina we could have got!... Maybe not the best... but not the worst. And the rest of the wave is all good for me. I've never owned an ISD, AT-AT, B-Wing or Sandcrawler so it's all gravy!

The problem with that theory is that Wyldstyle's hood is moulded in such a way to leave space to print on her shock of colored hair. That would look pretty odd without printing. The classic hood piece would work just fine.

Damn right whenever I picture obi wan in the landspeeder all I think of is how massive his hood is down, could be used for any Jedi with a small enough hairpiece, doesn't Owen Lars wear a hooded robe? My bad his hood's up Edited February 5, 201411 yr by ablake90

February 5, 201411 yr That looks really nice... to be honest it's so nice it's a must for that to be done in plain black and red brown right now!
February 6, 201411 yr Now that is one great part, with lots of cross-theme uses. Hopefully the LEGO designers will agree...
February 6, 201411 yr That hood piece looks great. I'm very interested in seeing how the printed robe turns out.
February 6, 201411 yr How funny, the German Toy Fair has put up their final thoughts on LEGO at the fair this year, and no Star Wars pics! -Sci
February 7, 201411 yr Are the new 2014 Lego Star Wars sets at Toys R Us in the US, since they come out to the Target and other stores on February 17, 2014.
February 7, 201411 yr THe 2014 sets showed up on the TRU website a week or so ago. The sets weren't available for purchase online but were listed as being available in store.

February 7, 201411 yr There are several T-C4s appearing in the wild, it's bordering on cute I'd be quite happy if it's the May 4th promo.
February 7, 201411 yr Just making sure, I will be at my local Toys R Us tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. EST to participate in the special Lego Movie in-store event for Emmet's Car.
February 7, 201411 yr I have nothing against the exclusive protocol droids we've gotten such as TC-14 or TC-4 but I really wish LEGO would give us a different exclusive minifig.
