Gremer Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Would you upload size comparison pics with the Sandcrawler, AT-AT, and the Star Destroyer? I know Lego.com has lengths and heights, but I prefer to actually see them. Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Unfortunately, the new Star Destroyer looks to suffer from the same weakness as the old one. There's just nothing remotely exciting on the interior. :-/ Quote
legolandia Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Just opened up the At-At set (sorry cant do photos tonight). The white droid in the pic above is a PK-4 droid, not one i recognise. I do need a Qui-Gon and Padawan Obi-Wan though.... Those minifigs are great! Not sure what set they could be in though, as every combination does not make sense to me. The PK-4 droid was seen in a few shots aboard the Trade Federation Lucrehulk-class battle ship. Exactly my thoughts. I do hope it is a Trade Federation battleship (Saak'ak was its name if I am not mistaken). The fans have been begging for a long time for TF battleships. Buddy of mine bought both the AT-AT and the ISD today. Turns out his AT-AT box is damaged so he'll be exchanging it tomorrow. He is going to start with the ISD tonight however and he was kind enough to send me these pics: I'd love to see some pics of the AT-AT. The ISD looks a bit on the chubby side to me. Even chubbier than the old version. £750 though - oh my! Almost half price soon if you are patient Quote
Gremer Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Going back to the minifigs, the only time Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and a Naboo guard were together in a battle was the retaking of Theed. The only droid vehicles in Theed were AATs. Quote
Robianco Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Almost half price soon if you are patient We never get sales that good here in the UK though. While the US are getting the Rancor Pit for $20 now the cheapest we have it is £43. The Sandcrawler will never EVER be £125 from a store and we'll have to be very patient and very lucky to get anything more than 20% off SW stuff... whether that be John Lewis or Tesco which is where the best bargains are usually had. Hobbit and LOTR is a different matter... but not SW unfortunately. Quote
EVO97 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Those new Stormtroopers look great! I hope that we get a battle pack with 4 of them next year. Quote

Hobbit and LOTR is a different matter... but not SW unfortunately. I just dont understand this at all. Why the US gets really good offers relatively frequently while we get one or maybe 2 time offers per year of 40% off, 50% off once in a blue moon and usually not for long at all, not to mention never in the lego store (worth while unless an exclusive fig is involved) for SW...

wesker Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 The AAT would be too small for a 100€/$ set and 6 mini figures (or even more) would be too much for a 50€/$ set. So I guess it will be the MTT. The last AAT came with 7 figures (Clone Trooper, Yoda, 2 Battle Droids and 3 Super Battle Droids) Quote
Fritzy Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 @TheBrickHitHouse: Wow. That's quite the haul! I would have trouble deciding where to go first! Quote
The Executive Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I'm really hoping for an AAT. It's been over 10 years since they updated the tan version. Quote
Darth Malgus Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I hope its not too long before we see the seys here in Australia. .. those pics look great! An assault/rescue on Theed would be cool, really like to see a boss Nass minifigure. Quote
EVO97 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 @TheBrickHitHouse: That's awesome! This is a strange request, but could you look on the bottom of the Phantom's box and tell me if any of the parts are made in China? Quote
wesker Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I'm really hoping for an AAT. It's been over 10 years since they updated the tan version. Same here. The build for the Clone Wars version was perfect but I prefer the tan colours of the Episode I version. If we don't get one this year then hopefully it will show up somewhere in the next two waves. Once Episode VII hits the chances for more PT sets will be slim to none. Quote
Brickviller Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I really hope the new Naboo set will be an AAT, or at least contain it. It also makes more sence, because the MTT was never featured in Theed, the AAT was. Also the MTT would probaly consist of several gungans right? The MTT isn't that spectacular to me without proper AAT's to protect it. If it is an AAT it will be the first time in several years I would spent on the SW theme. Quote
dsoffers Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 He ended building a bit more last night so I woke up this morning with these in my inbox: I'm not sure what changed exactly but this is the 2014 redesign of Vader. Quote
Robianco Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I only managed 10 mins or of build last night so put together the landspeeder and Luke from the Cantina. The instructions also only show those figures shown on the Hoth Bricks scan... The page shows all the figures from the summer wave. Just space for the calendar figs and the undisclosed set. I'll try and scan the full page shortly to share. Quote
Legoman123 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I really can't wait to pick these sets up now. I think I'm even going to get The Ghost as well. Quote
Moexy Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Is it me, or does that ISD looks alot smaller then the previous version? Quote
Legoman123 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I knew it would be smaller than the previous version, but it seems to be even smaller than I thought it would be. Quote
The Executive Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 It probably looks even smaller in person. Quote
Cyberbricker Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) I'm hoping for an AAT, but if its an MTT, the AAT can't be far behind. Still I think it will be a combo of an AAT and Flash Speeder. :) The best fitting scene from the movie to include these mini-figures is the scene were they takeout that AAT in the city with the Flash Speeder. Also, the skin of that Royal Guard is a little darker then the normal tan, leaving me to think its maybe the Asian guy in the Speeder? I think if it was an MTT, they would include Gungans.

The_Chosen_1 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I'm not sure what changed exactly but this is the 2014 redesign of Vader. The torso printing is more detailed, and the leg printing is new. Quote
deskp Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 The torso printing is more detailed, and the leg printing is new. And I think the head is new. Either way the figure looks fantastic. About time Vader got leg printing! Quote
