Brickdoctor Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 When do we usually hear news on the summer exclusives? Exclusives usually aren't in the retailer catalogs or at toy fairs. Sometimes the bigger ones will be unveiled at conventions, and sometimes we see advertisements for them in the instruction booklets of the normal sets. Quote
Archer Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Correct me if I'm wrong but by this time last year we had seen the UCS X-Wing yes? Or even months before this? They must really want to keep the secrecy this year, whether it's the Sandcrawler or something else. Quote
North Lego Star Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Correct me if I'm wrong but by this time last year we had seen the UCS X-Wing yes? Or even months before this? They must really want to keep the secrecy this year, whether it's the Sandcrawler or something else. I think we heard about the X-Wing around actually sometime in 2012, but didn't get pics until March. The Sandcrawler seems to have be confirmed, and will probabaly have a May release to line up right with May the Fourth Be With You. Concering the other exclsuive, it's been rumored that a UCS Slave 1 would be coming out this year too, but I hope lego actually releases something else, possibly a larger CW set similar to the kind of set the Tantive IV was.

h22chen Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 My thoughts exactly! It will be so great to get Galactic Marine minifigs. On the Rebels sets; The Phantom looks way better on the display stand, than on the box. I might change my mind and get it, still curious how it connects to the Ghost. Wow, a separation between the helmet and the backpack. Now, even though I like uniformity in army building, looks like sometimes a redesign is good! The helmet and backpack being 1 piece always have bugged me. Quote
pldeutelephonz Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 The friggin sandcrawler better not be UCS, I have waited so long to get one since the last one was so expensive and has been discontinued for years. Can anyone tell me how soon we should know every single set to come out later this year? When do we get images of the new sets eg star destroyer from toy fairs? I hate waiting so damn long for some stupid images! Quote

h22chen Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Looks like it is time to save. On the plus side, it will probably be available for a few years due to it being a large set. Quote
Sir_Basil_Ashton Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I know LEGO doesnt use the UCS designation anymore but the only way to do a Sandcrawler properly is as at the UCS level. The thought of a new Sandcrawler has me dreaming of updated Jawas to add to my collection. Quote
cookiemonster Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Herr Are sind pictures from the Figuren from the Rebels Sets. Only the Stromtrooper Looks a bit weird. http://www.starwars-union.de/nachrichten/13664/Rebels-Lego-Impressionen_aus_Nuernberg/ Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the link! Looks like Zeb is a Bothan after all http://www.starwars-union.de/bilder/news_2014/2014-0-30-rebes-figuren-ghost.jpg Edited January 31, 2014 by Lego-Freak Quote
LegoFjotten Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Is that a new mold for the stormtrooper helmet or just different printing? Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 The faces look much better than TCW ones- still stylised though. Is that a new mold for the stormtrooper helmet or is it just clever printing? Quote
wesker Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 The helmet looks to be the same mold to me, only the printing has changed - namely the stylized mouth and lower headband. Doesn't look too bad but I prefer the movie Stormtroopers. Hopefully the ones coming in the Star Destroyer haven't changed too much. Zeb and Hera look great though. I'm really happy the faces are compatable with the movie characters this time around. I hated the anime look of the Clone Wars figures. Quote
MstrOfPppts Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I'm not sure if it's a new mold but it sure looks ugly. It might just be the print but it makes it look too tall and streched. And what is with these alien's eyes thing? All get the new blue eyes instead of normal black. I didn't like it on Stass Allie and I don't like it on this twi'lek. It should have been just like Oola's! Quote

It should have been just like Oola's! To be fair, the stormtroopers in Rebels have pretty stretched looking helmets. It's a pretty good representation of them. I do agree about the eyes- I'm a big fan of the standard black with white pupils look. All these darn colours. In my day, it was just a yellow head with a smiley face. ;) Quote
Artizan Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I think the visor printing of the stormtrooper is actually better but the moustache part is ugly. Quote
Borex Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Nice line-up of minifigs. That new stormtrooper is great too. Quote
Csacsa234 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) The twilek girl is so adorable,Zeb is great as well, but the stormtrooper looks like somebody melted the original mold with a lighter... Although the torso and leg print is superb. Edited January 31, 2014 by Csacsa234 Quote
michaelozzie Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I don't mind the look of the new helmet printing on the stormtrooper. I'm a bit unsure about the torso though. It's getting hard to keep a uniform look when army building these days, with the constant updates. Quote
J.V.D. Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) The look of that stormtroopers helmet reminds me of ... I am so happy... NOT Edited January 31, 2014 by J.V.D. Quote

I clearly remmeber her. Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I have a remark regarding this picture: It seems like only Zeb's head inside the 4x4 trans-clear dome... and I don't like it Quote
