Ki-Adi-Mundi Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Is this animated series ('Rebels') in the style of the goulish CW stuff with clothed skeletons and their oversized heads and eyes? Do we have any (prelim) pics of the cast yet? Quote

Do we have any (prelim) pics of the cast yet? From what we have seen so far, it appears to be more stylised then TCW but in a different way, more curves than angles on figures. Quote

Faefrost Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 This might be a stupid question but is it possible that TLC gave up using the 10XXX numbers for the large sets? The new Sandcrawler, the Simpsons House and Metalbeard'a Sea Cow are sets that should have them but they don't. The 10xxx designation is one that Lego has always used, not for large sets, but for "D2C" sets. Sets sold principle through Lego directly. The Sandcrawler, the Simpsons House and the Sea Cow may actually be very very large retail sets. So you may see them on the shelf at TRU and such. Quote

Where is the differece between the Simpsons House and the Tower of Orthanc? This set was only available in Lego shops and S@H but now you can find it in normal shops as well. Isn't the Simpsons House an exclusive set? Quote

This set was only available in Lego shops and S@H but now you can find it in normal shops as well. Isn't the Simpsons House an exclusive set? It gets a little greyer these days, since they seem to be giving TRU and the online branches of Walmart, Target and Amazon better access to the D2C's. Really I think it is more a factor of expected production run. The real traditional D2C sets they only expect to make a couple of 10 thousand of. The real retail sets start above 100,000 and go upwards.I think that they have seen enough interest from the retail channel for some of the larger pricier D2C sets, that they may be basically giving them the same immediate access to these new properties with huge media tie ins. And yeah from where we sit it is probably getting hard to tell the difference between a large D2C set and a large retail targeted set. Much like UCS D2C may have evolved into a meaningless or non existent distinction. Quote
Brickfan Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 LEGOLAND STAR WARS PROMO BRICKS Hello All, This is my first post. I have a question that I would like to pose to the group for help. I have been collecting the Legoland Star Wars promotional bricks for a few years. I have several of the bricks and was wondering if there is a listing of all of these style bricks that have been released? The oldest brick that I have is from 2005. The majority of these bricks have been released with the Legoland Star Wars Days events. Although, there have been some Star Wars bricks released for other events as well. The last few years I have only seen bricks from Legoland Deutschland. Does anyone know if there is a complete list of these bricks that exists? Thank- you Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 There's a list of Duplo promo bricks on Bricklink; you can't sort it by theme, but since it's in alphabetical order by exact part name, most of the Star Wars ones are halfway down page four. As far as LLCA is concerned, the list looks complete: '05, '07, '08, '09, '10. (And then after that, if I remember correctly from the last time I asked an LLCA employee about it, they stopped giving away all Duplo promo bricks.) Quote
OBI-WAN37 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Hi, I'm trying to find out about whether or not the set 7962 Anakin Skywalker and Sebulba's podracers (http://lego.wikia.co...#39;s_Podracers) is actually proper minifig scale. Now most of you would probably guess that judging by Anio's popular UCS MoCs of Anakin and Sebulba's podracers (see: http://rebrickable.c...nakins-podracer and http://rebrickable.c...bulbas-podracer) that both include minifigures (and I'm not trying to degrade those MoCs, I think they're fantastic), that TLG's "system-scale" ones would be much smaller than actual minifigure scale. But the thing is, it says on Wookiepedia that sebulba's podracer has engines that are 7.47 m in length and a cockpit that is 3.96 m in length (http://starwars.wiki...'s_Podracer) and that Anakin's podracer's engines are 7 m long, and its cockpit is 3.15 m long (http://starwars.wiki...'s_Podracer). Multiply these by minifig scale (1/44) and sebulba's podracer's engines are about 17 cm in length, and its cockpit is 9 cm in length, and anakin's podracer's engines are about 16cm long, and its cockpit is about 7 cm long. This means that the actual models built by TLG are in some ways much larger than these dimensions, by a few centimetres in some cases (sebulba's engines: about 19.5cm, maybe even 20cm, compared to 17cm, however Anakin's engines are admittedly about 16.5 cm just like they should according to wookiepedia be). But if wookiepedia is actually accurate and those dimensions for the podracers shown in the film are correct, how come when you look at screenshots from the podrace sceen on the film (see: http://hopeliesat24f...dracer_race.jpg), the podracers look much larger that they are shown to be by TLG's rendition. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the podracers appear to be different sizes throughout the podrace scene. Is this the explanation for why wookiepedia gave the dimensions it did, or is it that the only source of information on the podracers' lengths is some EU book that had writers who didn't care about being accurate to the film. Or is it because minifigs are thicker than real people and therefore make TLG's models look smaller than they should be? Does anyone else know what the explanation is and whether or not TLG's models are accurate minfig scale? Thanks a lot. :) Edited January 14, 2014 by OBI-WAN37 Quote
DarthTwoShedsJackson Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Trying to get the right dimensions of Star Wars vehicles from whatever source, especially anything ending with ...pedia, is like discussing the exact distance between earth and moon: A futile task, resulting in an average at best. I'd advice you to not take measurements of fictional vehicles all too seriously, and decide on an approximate size that comes as close as possible, but more importantly suits your building needs/techniques.

donbarca Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 if you buy in the actual Lego store will your vip account still be credited with those value points you receive when you buy online???? Quote
Spyderlord Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 if you buy in the actual Lego store will your vip account still be credited with those value points you receive when you buy online????

North Lego Star Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I've been considering buying a Stass Allie minifig off of ebay or bricklink and then purchasing another Clone Trooper vs. Droideka battle pack because I really I'm looking to build my clone army and also want to obtain Stass Allie. However, I also have considered, just buying the Homing Spider Droid set were I do get a clone and Stass Allie, but I already have pleanty of Super Battle Droids and the original Spider Droid set. Buying Stass Allie off of Ebay and the Battle Pack is about the same price as buying the Spider Droid set. So what to you guys think the best decision is in this situation? Thanks for your responses... Quote
Mr Man Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I've been considering buying a Stass Allie minifig off of ebay or bricklink and then purchasing another Clone Trooper vs. Droideka battle pack I'd suggest this. If there is nothing else you want from the spider droid set then don't buy it. It's almost as bad as the first one. Quote

Kelso Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Hey folks, I'm back to my Lego hobby since yesterday and I am planning on building my first MOC! (hidden rebel base with hangar for my X-Wing) I do however not have many Lego pieces to build this, so my question is. Which brick types and other Lego pieces would be a good idea to buy in a large amount to get started? Also are there any new Lego Star Wars packs that are a must have this year? Thanks in advance!
