NovaSentinel Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Looking at the cantina pic, I noticed a wing above it, and given the angle and shape, I think this could be from a TIE Phantom, the $30 set in the wave. This would also explain the blanked out minifig lineup, as the designs may not be finalised yet. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but don't polybags usually come within a year or two of the relative system set? So could we be seeing the ARC-170 and Lambda Class Shuttle as exclusives or 2015 sets? Also, as noted by someone else earlier, the sandtrooper is using an old republic trooper torso, so will be getting a new print. Im pleased the ISD is OT, and that we get 2 Stormtroopers. I for one don't think the new Snowtrooper helmets will look good at all. If they do what they did with the Phase 2 clone helmets then they might make them too tall just so they're turnable. Also why is the AT-AT Driver grey now? And is that a new helmet for Veers? Quote
Robert_88 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I'm not 100% convinced Greedo is there as we already have a Rodian head for several characters and that could easily have been used as a placeholder. Maybe the 2 new characters are Figrin D'an and Ponda Baba. A cantina without Greedo would be very strange :/ I like the new cantina because it's a nice and bigger remake of the old version. Of course, it could be bigger but I think it has the right size and price for kids (and including a MOC bar shouldn't be a problem). Quote

BEAVeR Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 That ship is from the Yoda chronicles, yo can see it says that on the left of the image. That doesn't mean it can bear heavy ressemblance to the TIE Phantom. JEK's starfighter was also heavily based pn the E-wing, so great similarities cannot be excluded. Quote
Just The Doctor Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I'm glad that the snowtroopers finally get a commander, and kamas! I didn't even know there was a snowtrooper commander in the film until I searched it earlier! Quote
StoutFiles Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 The cantina is exactly as I expected, because TLG is never going to make the bar centerpiece it needs. These sets are for kids, they aren't going to build a bar scene. Your best bet is to buy this set for the figures and use other pieces to complete the scene. Quote
Tariq j Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 If their is a cantina I can't wait for its release. Do we know when the UCS AT-AT is coming out in stores? Quote

These sets are for kids, they aren't going to build a bar scene. Your best bet is to buy this set for the figures and use other pieces to complete the scene. Buying more than one would make more sense anyway to complete the Modal Nodes and get more than one Dewback. I'm sure the extra speeder can be converted into some kind of moisture evaporator. If their is a cantina I can't wait for its release. Do we know when the UCS AT-AT is coming out in stores? Well there's definitely going to be a Cantina but as far as a UCS AT-AT that's a long way off I think... Quote
commdr_neyo 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. -Sci I couldn't view the previous links either, thanks for fixing it! And yes, there definately are some hinges in light bley, and a transparant bowl-shape, so I guess there will be a tan canopy piece on top Quote
Legoman123 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Does anyone think that there will be a bridge like 10221 Super Star Destroyer? Quote
The Executive Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Now that I think about it. The new Cantina set could have been a perfect opportunity to make an Imperial Spy figure. But he could still be in the final version. Quote
Praiter Yed Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Buying more than one would make more sense anyway to complete the Modal Nodes and get more than one Dewback. I'm sure the extra speeder can be converted into some kind of moisture evaporator. If you look closely at the edge of the Cantina picture linked by CM4S (thanks for the pics ) it looks like there's an additional Bith figure that's been cut off - so the Cantina could well contain the full band.

Or at least half of the 6 that were playing... that wouldn't surprise me. The Mirkwood Elf Army currently available has been designed for multiple purchase to be used together so having 2 of these to make up a more complete Cantina would work. Very glad I bought the Droid Escape set now. I've just enlarged the photo in photoshop and there's definitely a third of those Squidward figures there so that would indeed give us half of the band at least.

Legoman123 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) I thought there was only four band members. Anyway guys, how many more minifigures do you guys think are going to be in the cantina? Edited January 2, 2014 by Legoman123 Quote
The Joker1 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I thought there was only four band members. Anyway guys, how many more minifigures do you guys think are going to be in the cantina? Actually it's in between the two, There were 5 members http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080316203115/starwars/images/8/84/ModalNodes_play_Chalmuns.jpg (you can see one standing behind) Quote
Robianco Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) There are actually 7 band members but only 6 playing during Luke & Ben's visit. If we say there are 3 band members, Han, Luke, Sandtrooper and Greedo I don't see there being many more... maybe 1. The fact that we get a Dewback, Speeder and the Cantina itself tells me there won't be many more figures. The photo above does seem to show 5 members playing... who knows... ask Lucas... I'm sure he'd say there was 10 of them if he could sell you the figures! Edited January 2, 2014 by Robianco Quote
Artizan Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I personally don't want to see another Greedo figure. I hope it is something different, like ponda baba or dr. evazan. Quote
CoffeeLoverSteve Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) So the cantina has 3 band members. Didn't the prelim said it has 2 new figures? If so, doesn't that mean that all the band members have the name causing there to be another unknown figure? Edited January 2, 2014 by CoffeeLoverSteve Quote
bkctsang Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) http://www.toysrus.c...e/chi-bonus.htm Promotion from Hong Kong Toys R Us: the first 150 customers who spend more than HK$1200 (Around US$158) on new 2014 Lego items get one of the three Lego polybags by random. Surprisingly, the new TC-4 is found in one of the polybags. I apologize for the low resolution picture. Enjoy! Edited January 2, 2014 by bkctsang Quote
General Magma 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? It's a new helmet mold, and they'll be getting waistcapes as well. Nice. Also, I don't think that insectoid is Ponda Baba. It must be Greedo. Maybe Ponda Baba is in the other half, hopefully, though I don't think there will be a new mold for him. On another note... finally, an Ithorian! Quote
Robianco Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 So the cantina has 3 band members. Didn't the prelim said it has 2 new figures? If so, doesn't that mean that all the band members have the name causing there to be another unknown figure? I don't think Lego would list 3 figures of exactly the same design as 3 new figures... so I'm assuming that if those figures do relate to the Cantina that there will be another figure... Probably Greedo or Ponda Baba (whoever the character to the right is). I also think that the existing Greedo is a pretty good figure... especially as it's from the old yellow days... it certainly doesn't look old at all. For that reason I hope it's Ponda Baba. If it is then it makes me wish I'd bought a Dr Evazan from Christo when I had the chance! Quote
CoffeeLoverSteve Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I agree with you, but to me all of the cantina band members look identical is why I thought that. Quote
donbarca Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 3 band members??? TLG seems to consider three of the same fig in one set to be one too many... as i recall they always come in pairs????? i dont think it is fair to complain too much about this set. i believe we are only getting it due to afol pressure. cant blaim them for making a toy also kids would want buying it no matter what. (now i am definitely missing the rancor pit and sailbarge to be complete tatooine) Quote
Faefrost Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Looking at the cantina pic, I noticed a wing above it, and given the angle and shape, I think this could be from a TIE Phantom, the $30 set in the wave. This would also explain the blanked out minifig lineup, as the designs may not be finalised yet. I'm pretty sure Phantom is the name of a small stubby wedge shaped fighter that is carried by the Ghost. So that is most likely a Rebels set, and is designed as a small add on to the larger Ghost set. I think in Rebels we will be more prone to see the Tie Phantom design show up as it's originally intended purpose. As an Imperial Shuttle. Quote
