LEGO Star Wars 2014 Pictures and Rumors

TheBear · February 15, 2014

Seriously!? I would be so annoyed if this is how we see all stormtroopers from now on, the print in particular is so disproportionate, but I guess this is how kids are gonna see them.

I don't really understand what you mean by disproportionate, it looks perfectly to scale with the minifigure proportions. If you compare it to an OT stormtrooper I think it looks a lot more accurate and clear than the previous printing.

To be honest, I, too, was a bit offput by the new print. But I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it.

The printing is only for the Rebels TV show though.

To begin with it has curved hips (like a female fig) even though the belt spreads across all the way, the belt itself is a step back from the current design. The leg print is so basic and might aswell not be there and the blocky man boobs just look stupid. The helmet isn't so bad I like that eyes meet the brow and the blue markings are an improvement. Like I've said before some mini figs are just perfect as they are and this seems like a huge step back in terms of detail.

I hope you're right. The box for the new ISD had the same Stormtrooper pictured on it.

I think we're safe, the prelim showed vader on the box, unless you've seen a more recent pic?

According to a Star Wars collecting podcast that I listened to yesterday, all Star Wars merchandise later this year will feature the Rebels stormtrooper, and if the product itself isn't from Rebels it simply won't feature the show's logo. (But I suppose we'll find out for sure soon enough!)

The New York Toy Fair begins tomorrow, right?

The New York Toy Fair begins tomorrow, right?

As far as I know, yes, and I believe pictures can be taken as well so we'll get a good look at the summer sets!

Flieger · February 15, 2014

I just saw the first four episodes of the Clone Wars Season 6. Not much materiel for Lego so far: some Kaminoan craft, a Taxi, shielded troopers... But, seeing Kamino again, I think we need a Kamino set.

(But the episodes were good! More background on Order 66).

How'd you see those episodes already?

Flieger · February 15, 2014

They were regularily aired on Super RTL, Germany, as planned.

According to the New York Toy Fair press release, Mos Eisley Cantina and the Imperial Star Destroyer will be $70 and $120 USD respectively. Not bad. :classic:

So I'm not sure if this is old news, but there are a couple of short videos on starwars.com showcasing Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus.

It gives a bit more context on who the characters. They seem extremely interesting, and make the sets even more appealing than they already are.

Flieger · February 16, 2014

To be honest I find them rather stereotype characters... Kanan may work out well, because - stereotype or not - such a character can be amazing. Ezra however makes me feel like it is a kids show, again. I have mixed feelings.

But indeed, getting more background makes the sets more interesting!

What happened to the Inquisitor set? Any news on that? We all know that baddies sell well.

Netflix will apparently be offering all 13 completed episodes of Clone Wars season 6 starting March 7.

I don't remember hearing anything about an Inquisitor set.

Flieger · February 16, 2014

I don't remember hearing anything about an Inquisitor set.

I mean the 75051 "Jedi Hunter" set, which probably features the Inquisitor from Star Wars Rebels.

Edit: never mind, it seems to be a Yoda chronicles set. My bad...

For some reason, we got them earlier in Germany, which is unusual, but I don't complain, even though I prefer the English dub.

You can watch them for free (if you have a German IP, I guess):

But I recommend watching them on the big TV screen, and the stream does not seem to allow the quality...

ISD at $120? Wow. I might actually bite at that price.

Sir_Basil_Ashton · February 16, 2014

The pricing has been good and looks like it's going to continue to be good this year. I'm really hoping to see more details on the ISD, specifically the bottom.
