korpen4444 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Let's not start speculating about sets you think we'll see or listing what you want to see. Remember, that doesn't belong here. I was just defending a viewpoint. Sorry. Quote

Brickdoctor Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I was just defending a viewpoint. Sorry. Doesn't matter. The discussion of minifigs you want doesn't belong here, no matter what your viewpoint is, and as I've told members including you before, the OT vs. PT vs. CW debate doesn't belong here either. Quote

I was not trying to debate. I was just saying that it wouldn't be right for lego to leave out some important, elements, from the summer wave. I agree the minifig thing was a touch off topic, but I was, again, trying to make some understanding. Quote
TheBear Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I was recently trying to find a suitable torso for "imperial crewman" and there didn't seem to be one so it's nice to see one in the new star destroyer. Quote

lightningtiger Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 That watermarked image of the cantina, is not the final one of course......since when did Squidward from Sponge Bob join Star Wars ? Look carefully at the top left side of that image.....it's Squidward's head ! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I was not trying to debate. You can claim that that wasn't your intent if you want to, but you did in fact start the off-topic discussion of clones: Plus that, we need phase 2 Cody, Fox, and Wolffe. And then when LegoFjotten replied at least partially in jest and not directly to you, you responded with a counterargument. So, yes, you are debating the off-topic clone minifig discussion that you started. (And you're also now debating the application of the rules of the forum with a moderator in a public thread.) I was just saying that it wouldn't be right for lego to leave out some important, elements, from the summer wave. I agree the minifig thing was a touch off topic, but I was, again, trying to make some understanding. As I said, what you want to see — what you think should be an important element of the summer wave — does not belong here. The "minifig thing" was not "a touch off topic", it was completely off topic. Quote

Aethersprite Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 CM4S, were your images removed, by any chance? I can't seem to load them. Anyway, these sets are looking good! Looking forward to the AT-AT especially. Disappointed that we'll be getting another Yoda Chronicles set, but the 2 Rebels sets look promising! Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Wow!!! A set list and preliminary pics in the same day!! Definitely didn't expect that as a New Year's surprise. I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with the Cantina. It's been my most-wanted set for years, and it just isn't what it could have been. I really wish the landspeeder was left out in favor of expanding the build and/or including more minifigs. I'm holding out hope that one of the Squidward headed prelims is Ponda Boba, but I doubt it.

Looking forward to the AT-AT especially. Disappointed that we'll be getting another Yoda Chronicles set, but the 2 Rebels sets look promising! Hmm. That's strange. Here you go: ISD AT-AT Cantina I noticed in the Cantina, the big ugly looking part with a door, there's some hinges on the side. Maybe some sort of plastic roof? I'm sure it'll look fine when final pics come out. -Sci Quote
General Magma Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Also, it looks like we're getting a new Rodian head for Greedo, judging by the need for a placeholder... Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Ha, I was right there is The Ghost at the bottom of that page for the AT-AT ! Quote
strangely Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I noticed in the Cantina, the big ugly looking part with a door, there's some hinges on the side. Maybe some sort of plastic roof? I'm sure it'll look fine when final pics come out. There's a trans dome piece connected to the hinges, or at least the dome is drawn onto the image. I suspect that the final will include a tan dome rather than the trans one drawn on the image (Perhaps since the piece doesn't exist in that color yet they just put the trans one there as a placeholder, just like the Squidward head).

Borex Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Also, it looks like we're getting a new Rodian head for Greedo, judging by the need for a placeholder... Or maybe it's supposed to be Ponda Baba? Quote
Something_Awesome Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) It also looks like the Cantina will have a functionality similar to the retiring Hoth Echo Base. There are hinges that appear to allow the structure to fold into itself and open as well. But at 600 something pieces, there has to be more to it than what we see Edited January 2, 2014 by Something_Awesome Quote
exxtrooper Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I'm sorry but I cant be the only one seeing this, but the new AT-AT is not only similar to the 2010 version, it's identical. (Apart from the two cannons on the head). But seriously what is going on here? Quote
Something_Awesome Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) The stormtroopers in the leaked AT AT picture also have clone trooper helmets... lego botched it amirite? Edited January 2, 2014 by Something_Awesome Quote
BrickG Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I expected it. The set doesn't seem to be UCS or that expensive. People were expecting too much. We'll get yet another underscaled, not as good as it could be, AT-AT. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if it continued to basically be the same model. Oh well... Quote
HothZZ Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Has anyone else noticed vader’s updated meditation chamber in the ISD? Quote
Ceroknight Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Do we know what the Squidwards are placingholding for? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 The stormtroopers in the leaked AT AT picture also have clone trooper helmets... lego botched it amirite? They're placeholders, in all likelihood indicating an update to the Snowtrooper mold. (And it could use an update; the current mold still has the backpack attacked to the helmet while other formerly one-piece molds like the Fett helmet-jetpack piece were updated a couple years ago.) Quote
Fives Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 These new sets look great. It's nice to see a resurgence of OT sets before they jump into the ST for the upcoming few years. The AT-AT looks pretty similar to the 2011 incarnation, but I suspect there'll be enough of a difference to make it an improvement. It seems that the Snowtrooper is getting a serious overhaul, which, while really cool, will make all the current Snowtrrooers look lame next to their updated comrades. The Star Destroyer looks similar to the 2007 version from the outside, but from what I can tell the inside looks significantly better and more detailed. I have a feeling that overall, the mainframe and sturdiness of the ship will be extremely better. It seems like the fig selection for those two sets is a little lackluster. Hopefully we're getting an updated Tarkin. The Cantina looks awesome! They've done a good job of revamping the old 2004 set, which for its day was a really great set. While the building itself is a little lame, the landspeeder and Dewback more than make up for it it my books. Also, the figure selection looks awesome. Greedo for sure, along with one or two Bith. What I really want is Ponda Baba. He's just a must for any Star Wars collection, and it's about time we got him. Quote
The Executive Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Now I'm really hoping for the bartender and Ponda Baba in the Cantina. I like how the Cantina is somewhat of a pseudo building. The AT-AT better be a placeholder for the final. I don't really care for the ISD. Quote
