LEGO Star Wars 2014 Pictures and Rumors

[PMJ]

To be honest I don't get all the hate for the helmet. I think it looks great (other than the overall size). Besides, it was always a goofy shape.

As you can see, the mouthpiece is angled up.

Compare it to this:

The Imperial scout has the mouthpiece pointed down, while the 41st trooper has it angled up.

Thanks for the explanation! The minifig doesn't seem that bad now, although the visor printing is still hideously small.

I wouldn't say the visor is too small, while it is smaller than it would be to be 1:1 scale, it seems to fit well. I guess the only thing that bothers me is it is too far forward. I'd like it set back in the helmet more. Either way, it still looks pretty accurate to me. Also, I've totally not seen a picture that is totally preliminary that shows it from a better angle. The part we're seeing seems to be it's worst side.

We may debate whether the helmet looks good or not. To me, the problem is that the figure as a whole looks awkward or unnatural when the helmet is attached to it (I think the same of the Boushh-minifig; others may think differently about it, though). The scout trooper or the phase I troopers, including the ARF trooper, look much better and more natural.

In the end, the question is whether I like it enough to spend my money for it and currently, it's very likely that the answer is "no".

Another thing that bothers me is that the visor is out of line when compared to other minifigs. Others may think of it as an unimportant detail, but I'd prefer visors to be located at the highth of the eyes, which is the same for all clones.

It looks like I'm in the minority on this (as usual!) but I quite like it.... he's either bemused or had far too much caffeine!!

I guess that the final versions could still be changed, unless they're already in mass-production.

[Tariq j]

A couple of weeks ago there was a slave I rumou. which seems to have been forgotten, I was just wandering if anyone has got any news about it.

[Legoman123]

I really don't like the helmet on those Kashyyyk troopers at all. I hope somehow this isn't real but I fear it may be.

[Fuppylodders]

My only issue with it is its visor printing. Perhaps not too small, but most definitely too high. Its like you can imagine the guy inside that helmet has no forehead whatsoever, just eyes at the top of his head like JarJar... That is what makes it look wrong to me.

Id rather they just filled it entirely black than leave it like that, even if that would be incorrect to do so <.>

[Mikeosaurus]

This close to release, I'm pretty sure its final. I don't like 'em either, but usually what we see in prelims is what we get. It seems pretty likely to me that those helmets could be already in production.

[Cyberbricker]

I don't really like the helmet, I don't hate it either, but it just seems the visor is to high up. The eyes will be behind the mouth piece this was.

I was really planning to buy allot of these, hope they look better in real.

Close up of the Kashyyyk Trooper.

, The original scout trooper helmet would have done a better job than this atrocity,

[jay123]

Hello everyone, just wanted to share this new image of the Kashyyyk Trooper that will be included in the Kashyyyk trooper battle pack in the Winter! What are your thoughts?

Is it me or does the goggles seem more "down" in this picture?

Well, comparing the two pics with each other the mistakes of the LEGO design are:

Top of the helmet is too flat.

The blinders are too blocky at the top when they should go slightly to the inside of the helmets face starting right below the eyes.

The visor printing should be touching the angle of the snout, there is a big flat room instead.

The snout should be wider. Angles should directly touch the blinders which is barely the case.

On the back of the head the fat part should be the entire lower/middle part, instead it is a bit slimmer down at the neck. It should be more similar to the back of the LEGO Scout trooper helmet with the fat part going from neck to roughly eye height.

The angles at the downside of the BARC helmet in the group pic look silly but I think it´s just bad camera placement.

All in all, I hope all my complaints are due bad camera placement and crap printing (which seems to be standard looking at all those clones that have their grey cheek lines printed on the upper half rather than the lower half) but I don´t think it will be case with the blinders that look like they were designed blockier/simpler to be easier to cast out of molds.

Woah, you're right. If the visor was set further into the helmet, it'd look a hundred times better, just like the original scout trooper helmets.

[BrickG]

Now that's an ugly minifig...

[legocaptainrexfan]

I quite like it.

[StoutFiles]

We all need to relax and remember the big picture. It's something spawned from the prequels, so it doesn't really matter. No one but huge SW fans will even know what it's from, so any faults will only be noticed by you.

That said, the only big fault is the helmet looks comically huge. I can't tell if it actually IS huge or if the visor makes it look that way.

Any new news on the rumored UCS Slave I?

As I said, from another angle in a preliminary picture which I totally haven't seen it looks much better.

I'm just saying a Kashyyyk Trooper Clone Scout Trooper is a very obscure character...personally I can barely remember them. I was too busy looking at all the Wookies. Most anyone looking at your collection wouldn't notice anything wrong with them, they would just wonder why that trooper was green. It's not worth nitpicking over that stuff when no one else will notice the errors.

[ablake90]

I couldn't care less about what this clone looks like because this year we're getting Death Star gunners!!

For some people Star Wars isn't just clone army building

The clone isnt the best minifigure that TLG has released but its not seen as much as other characters and so the accuracy for this minifigure will not be TLG's top priority.

[DarthPotato]

That's sort of an ignorant point of view on things. There are fans of the prequel trilogy out there and something mediocre shouldn't be called okay just because it's from that part of Star Wars.

I also think the helmet's too large, but maybe the visor printing is a little off. Either way I don't think it will make the helmet look much better. I still wish we could have got some wookiees in the battle pack though.

I collect Lego for myself, not to show off my collection and ask what others think of it.

Even though it looks bad with the smallish print, I'll be getting a pack for the regular troopers.
