Post your general LEGO Star Wars questions here

[The_Customizer]

Actually I do know those facts since I bought the OT in the afore-mentioned collector's edition format

Anyways, I'm thinking the production run has ended or they do a short one, and then he set goes out at the May the Fourth sale like the UCS MF did.

Well, if it does do that, then I'll see if I can get one for cheap!

[Fallenangel]

I'm shocked. We should thank our lucky stars here in the UK! Here's a little reminder for you guys;

Han shoots first

Boba Fett is not from New Zealand

and Hayden Christensen is not in RTOJ

Also:

Rontos do not exist.

Dewbacks cannot walk.

Jabba was not present at Docking Bay 94 prior to the Falcon's takeoff.

The Millennium Falcon does NOT sport grilles over its booster.

The Death Star did not create a ring of fire when it blew up.

Part of the T-47's hull is transparent.

Luke actually said, "You're lucky you don't taste very good."

Buildings on Cloud City are typically very closed in.

Luke did not scream when he fell down the chasm in Empire.

The Max Rebo Band actually performed the song "Lapti Nek" at Jabba's palace.

Sarlaccs do not have beaks.

The destruction of the second Death Star was not celebrated in Cloud City, Mos Eisley, Coruscant, or Theed.

And so on...

Anyway, what I really wanted to ask is, can anyone here provide me with a clear, decently sized image of the TIE Defender from the video game Star Wars: TIE Fighter? I'm not looking for pictures from the Essential Guide nor CGI renderings by fans, but a shot from the game itself.

Regarding the sentry droid: I actually like the little guy, and think it's a pretty good version. But, it looks like it was put together with extra pieces from another set.

So if that can qualify as a minifig, why can a cylindrical spherical droid? All I was saying was that even though it's not a sphere, it does consist of two astromech domes- so what if it's not exactly the right shape, especially when we get a droid made out of left over parts from a bigger set. Does that make sense?

Everytime I mention this little Q, it seems like it really comes across like I'm really passionate about it, which I'm not. Curiousity is killing me. Seems like I'm becoming the Q-series champion. I suppose I ought to just make it my avatar!

[Fallenangel]

Seeing as a droid brain was considered by some to be a minifigure in the 10131 TIE Collection, I don't see why a Q7 wouldn't be.

Whew, that makes the capsule shaped Q astromech minifig look awesome. Maybe a Q series battle back.... nah, wrong topic.

What is that droid brain supposed to be? Don't recall hearing about that before (open to enlightenment).

the droid brains were supposed to pilot TIE Fighter droids I think...

[Fallenangel]

In the 10131 TIE Collection they threw in the TIE/d drone from Dark Empire along with Vader's TIE Advanced x1 and his wingmen. It looks like this:

Wookieepedia says:

Every TIE/D had an integrated Cybot Galactica Ace-6 droid brain which could be updated with new tactics—despite this, it was still often easily outwitted by sentient starfighter pilots.

Of course, quite a few people had no idea what it was when the set came out, so I think the TIE/d may be part of why LEGO doesn't release very many Expanded Universe sets. But seeing as their next Expanded Universe set featured the equally obscure Blackhole stormtroopers, the real reason Expanded Universe sets aren't selling well is because LEGO doesn't release any of the better known ships, such as the Outrider.

Should all this discussion really be in the Star Wars thread in the Culture and Muiti-media forum? Cause its not really Lego orientated in my opinion,

Sure it is. We're talking about minifigures in two different sets and what they actually represent.

[Brickdoctor]

Wasn't the Outrider an alternate model for one of the ISDs?

[StoutFiles]

I think for the MF.

[Brickdoctor]

I think for the MF.

Really? I know someone (Nannan, I believe) made one from the Midi MF, but I thought I remembered the big wheels from the UCS ISD in the model. The other alternate for the set in question was a T-16, I think.

No I think you're right. I recall something like that on the site...

[Fallenangel]

It is true that LEGO had instructions for an Outrider alternate model that you could make from the 6211 playset, but it was kind of a hack job in my opinion and not really fleshed out enough to constitute a legitimate set. Even back in '06, I considered it far below typical LEGO standards (as can be expected from an alternate model).

Hi. I was wondering if anybody knew if the swamp speeder was on Kashyyyk? It came in the Lego Wookie Cat, but not sure how reliable that is. Thanks

Yup they were, search ISP on wookieepedia as they were known as Infantry Support Platforms

[Fallenangel]

Yes.

You can see one briefly at 12:05.

I'm not sure whether this belong in this topic exactly but here goes.

I was wondering what happens to exclusive, collectors or special edition (or whatever they call them) sets that are sold in countries where there is no target, wall-mart or Toys'R'Us. Are these sets offered elsewhere then the online Lego shop?

For example in the Netherlands we don't have any of those, as far as I can tell(except for Toys'R'Us who is I believe working under the name ToysXL here, but not sure, confirmation that these sell the TRU exclusives anyone?)

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, but I couldn't find any record of it.

I don't know about Netherlands, but in Canada, Zellers usually have some of the exclusives. This might be applied to where you live, check other big stores.

Or they might not even have the X Edition label on them. According to a member who posted on one of my reviews in the RA, in Austria one of the SE sets had no SE label and was marketed as a normal set.

Hello, I was wondering if you guys would help me on this one. Do you know if the year's exclusive sets will be restocked after Christmas in the United States? Specifically, I'm talking about Walmart's Luke's Landspeeder (8092) set that has been out of stock at the two Walmarts I go to, as well as online. I'm not willing to pay higher than retail price as it's not a must-have for me, but it would be nice if they restocked in the future.

Thanks for your help!

I don't think it will, considering Exclusives aren't out for a long time, and since it's been sold out for a while now.

I doubt it, my walmart never had it so I ended up using my VIP points at Shop@Home....

I have a question, I discovered this on TRU online

Are the tusken raider's head and torso legitimate LEGO pieces?

and Zellers usually marks up prices more than TRU. They had the Pirate Tank for 64.99 CDN
