I know I have been complaining a bit too much today, but what is up with the snow speeder? The guy at the london toy fair said that it looked more accurate to the actual thing, instead like most people have said it looks the exact same but with the missiles added to it.

No I didn't, I said it looked a little bigger and utilised one of the new "stud blaster" weapons on the back so you could fire the harpoon, which i thought was a neat feature ... :P

No CW-style faces, yeay! :thumbup: I wonder what species the character inside the bubble turret is supposed to be, looks like a new one :sweet:

looks like a Cathar! maybe a possibility of more SWTOR sets coming out to include this species? variations of them would be great. :sweet:

Off-topic:I don't want to rant about it but I can't stand Lego's paranoid secrecy when then toy fair event comes,I mean at the New York toy fair Lego allow people to take pictures but on the London and German toy fair they don't,why??

On-topic:The sets look decent even if I probably wont buy them.

Here's hoping that the Ghost's cockpit is printed.

The half sphere looking one, most likely will be printed

The cockpit above it, most likely sticker in lieu of printed piece

I'm liking the look of the new star destroyer, although I think the bridge is a bit too small.

In my opinion, the new bridge is much more proportional to the rest of the ship. I believe TLG tried to put the bridge more in scale. An effort that worked, even though this new design has probably eliminated a classic space for minifigs playability and interaction.

I doubt the Ghost will have much interior space (though the front cockpit looks like it can slide out), it's hollow in the midsection to fit in the Phantom (the wings of which look like they are supposed to slide in to the Ghost).

The Ghost really looks great though, loving the McQuarrie influences on the design, his works were amazing.

Interesting to see that one of the minifigures in the set is a lightsaber wielder, cool stuff indeed.

The Snowspeeder, while looking slightly different (and an excellent use of the stud-blaster for the harpoon gun), looks way too similar to the old designs. I would've thought that it would have been redesigned from scratch by now. Especially the inaccurate cockpit.

Jedi Hunter Frontier looks sweet, an original and swooshable ship, thumbs up from me!

Lego Leaks Mexico have had to shut down their blog because of an email from LEGO. Still, it was good to see the sets while we could.

They should use a less obvious name. It is great to see the sets though. Maybe when we have better pics the Ghost will look more interesting.

I counted studs on the length of the wing of old (6211) and new star destroyer. On old one its 70studs and on new one 62 studs. I did the same following wing at widest part and its 22 studs (x2) on old and 20 studs on new one. Those two missing stud are on supestructure, not on the wing itself, so it looks like complete supestructure is smaller (which is more in line with original ship from the movies).

Too bad that its smaller, but it seems to be the case wtih all recent re-issues.

Is it just me or is that new astro-mech shorter than R2 ?

Plus now, why does the Phantom remind me so much of a original BSG viper ? (oh, wait I know it was done by the same designer in the 70's) :wink:

Very clever money making idea Lego, design two sets that can connect together......someone was thinking. :wink:

The alternative would have been making 1 larger set with a part that disconnected....

I know they don't like have preliminaries leaked too early because third party companies will steal the designs. (or at least thats what I've heard). And they may just want the big reveal for fan pictures too be taken all at once.
