StoutFiles Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Didn`t see that , but I am glad its a USC because I was hoping for a minifigure scale one. At least my wallet won`t be lighter. I'm not sure if they're going to make this a UCS set given the rumored 7XXXX numbering. It may just be a very large system set like the Ewok village. Quote
Fives Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 TC-4 is gorgeous. As others have said, I do hope we get leg printing on Threepio. From the way seems to be going, we'll likely see leg printing on the next Threepio we get. Also, I'm really excited to see the new Rebels sets. They seem to be retaining the MacQuarrie feel with ethe show, so while they aren't OT sets, they'll likely appeal to the majority of OT fans. I'm also interested to see how the make the Inqusitors' (that new villain in the show) lightsaber. It's a cool design, and may require a special mold. Overall, that fig will be awesome. Also, do people think, since the show has a more animated look, that perhaps we may get altered Stormie prints? Perhaps even a completely new helmet, much like what they've done with the Snowies and Ep 3 clones? Sure, a new mold might look strange, but it would be cool if the helmet could turn around like most current helmets these days. Also, I'm a little disappointed with the Star Destroyer fig line up. It was a perfect chance for an updated Vader with new seperatable mask/helmet/breathing collar combination. Overall, the summer feels like more of a service to the fans of the OT, as a last big revamp of some beloved scenes, before LEGO dives head first into Ep 7 and the upcoming stand alone films. They've obviously focused more on the sets than making exclusive figs, which is nice. Quote
LordLEGOtube Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 On my local toy store website here in the uk, it has all the winter 2014 wave sets, due to come out on the 18th of January. Yet when I ask about any 'the lego movie' merchandise, I am told that it will not come out untill february, apparently it's the opposite in America. Quote
Infernum Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 TC-4 looks like a good May the 4th exclusive! Quote
Tariq j Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 TC-4 looks like a good May the 4th exclusive! I was thinking about this as well, it could possibly be a 15th annervesary promo item but it's unlikely. Quote

I'm looking forward to the Rebels, much more so than TCW (and I was pretty excited about that too). I would assume a new mould, I can't think of piece combos that would work. And I agree, I would be nice to have stormiest helmets that could turn. Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Somebody said something about LEGO never including that bar in the Cantina? Well, Kiddiwinks, has set descs for a few of the sets, and the Mos Eisley Cantina one says this: Enter the Mos Eisley Cantina™ including droid scanner, bar, slide-out floors, opening roof, plus a Landspeeder, dewback and 8 minifigures. -Sci Quote
Robianco Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Han, Luke, Sandtrooper, Greedo, 3 band members and....? That description sounds like there's a lot of this set that had been missed of the side of the leaked shot! ...and reading the full description it seems Ben is there if that is anything to go by! Edited January 6, 2014 by Robianco Quote
Legoman123 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Eight minifigures in Mos Eisley Cantina! AND A BAR. Quote
donbarca Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 do not count on 3 band members... i believe 2 of them. there is never more than two of the same in one set.. obi wan is also mentioned and dewback (wampa,rancor were also listed as minifigs) Quote
Robert_88 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) I'm already in love with this set :) Edited January 6, 2014 by Robert_88 Quote
Spyderlord Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 And if there is a droid scanner, you can bet on R2 and 3PO being two of them Quote
commdr_neyo Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 do not count on 3 band members... i believe 2 of them. there is never more than two of the same in one set.. obi wan is also mentioned and dewback (wampa,rancor were also listed as minifigs) The rule of two only applies to Sith, Lego has made lots of sets containing more than two of the same figs Quote
wesker Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Looking at the other set descriptions, it sounds like the snowspeeder will come with another Luke and Dak. Would have been nice to get an updated Wedge. Nothing on who we can expect with the B-Wing outside of the pilot. I'm hoping we at least get Lando, Nien Numb and General Leia. Quote
Spyderlord Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) The rule of two only applies to Sith, Lego has made lots of sets containing more than two of the same figs Well, droids excepted, not very recently, donbarca has a point. Besides, on that prelim pic, there are two Squidwards, and two "unknown" figs are listed, so I guess it's safe to assume two of the band members. Ponda Baba would require Obi-Wan to be present as well, which is not consistent with 8 figs count. My guess would be: Luke, Han, Greedo, Sandtrooper, 3PO, R2 and two Biths. EDIT: I just saw the expanded description where Obi-Wan is mentioned, so my wrong! Ponda Baba is almost a given if there's Obi-Wan around. And he is the only one that actually resembles Squidward mold-wise. If there is a bar, I believe there is a good chance we get the barman as well. Edited January 6, 2014 by Spyderlord Quote

Obi-Wan is mentioned in the set description though: Welcome to the noisy and dangerous Mos Eisley Cantina™ on the desert world of Tatooine! Park the landspeeder and enter, staying clear of the giant dewback drinking from the trough outside. Make sure Luke, Han and Obi-Wan have their weapons with them as th Recreate iconic Star Wars scenes at Mos Eisley Cantina™! Quote

legos486 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Looks like zeb is a character from rebels since he's listed in the ghost description Another is Ezra Bridget and the phantoms not the tie phantom as it says fight against the imperial forces in its description Edited January 6, 2014 by legos486 Quote
Phoib Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Also, I'm a little disappointed with the Star Destroyer fig line up. It was a perfect chance for an updated Vader with new seperatable mask/helmet/breathing collar combination. I think, if you look closely on the right of that picture, you see a black figure with a sort of double helmet :-) Quote
donbarca Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 wont the dewback be counted as a mini fig as well???? the rancor and wampa is/was also in the lotr/hobbit set cave troll and goblin king is mini figs Quote
legos486 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Copy error Edited January 6, 2014 by legos486 Quote
Darth Punk Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) wont the dewback be counted as a mini fig as well???? the rancor and wampa is/was also in the lotr/hobbit set cave troll and goblin king is mini figs The description says includes land speeder, dewback, and 8 minifigures. So no. Edited January 6, 2014 by Darth Punk Quote
DarthPotato Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I think the figures will be Luke, Obi-Wan, Han, Sandtrooper, Greedo, 2 Biths, and then the last spot will probably go to Ponda Baba. This is sounding like an even better set already! Quote
BJM Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 The question is I suppose do I sell my original cantina and rare Greedo for what will undoubtedly be a great looking new Dewback. My £30 a month wife set investment ceiling is starting to get me down..! Quote
WickNole Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Some thoughts on the minifigs (maybe I'll repeat something which was said earlier, but still...). Cantina: announced Han + Luke + Obi Wan, dewback assumes sandtrooper (as shown in ad), Han and mentioning of weapon assumes Greedo, droid scanner and speeder gives an option for droids (even 2), bar assumes (?) barman or Ponda. But that would make a total of 8, and makes two Squidwards a noncence. Therefore droids are unlikely... and replacement of them with musicians possible. Snowspeeder: Luke + Dak + Snowtrooper. Seems enough. AT-AT: Driver + Snowtrooper. Trapdoor assumes Luke... but snowspeeder ib the same wave makes this unkiely. But two minifigs are too few for the set... maybe extra trooper and officer. Of extra rebel troopers. B-Wing: Pilot for sure... expect 2 minifigs more (+ droid). Ten Numb seems appropriate, as well as Leia. Star Destroyer: Palpatine's hologram assumes Vader and no red guard... therefore plenty of crew member options. But who? Quote
