June 10, 200519 yr WOW! Thats really incredible! I love the jawas. However, I think that they could have made a better assortment of minifigs.
June 10, 200519 yr No, I doubt such detail could be gained from the Lego Club scan, for it was shadowed and a large section covered by the X-Wing. Sandcrawlers come from Corellia (I've forgotten the name lol), so trees could be possible. So this was a prototype for the real thing or I'm not sure. HELP!
June 10, 200519 yr GUYS, THE CRAWLER IS OUT ON US SHA!!!!!!! 139.99 USD and shipped by June 15 th !!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH http://shop.lego.com/leaf.asp?cn=4&d=5&t=3
June 10, 200519 yr Only a matter of time ;) it will probably be up by tomorrow !! EDIT, Its out NOW, yeahhhhhh (even has the zoom feature)!!! http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=10144&cn=4&d=5&t=3 after some zoom in, here are my impressions on the figs: The Jawas are really fantastic !!!!! Uncle Owen looks too much like OBI but in peach the droids: apart from the ones we have already (C3PO, R2, and the gonk droid), the new ones are not that great - the one desciending the platform looks as horrible as the green one :'( , and there is the body of R4 with a plain white head. I really like the small droid on treads though!!!!!
June 11, 200519 yr What a surprise at the release date! We were all thinking that it would take pre-orders on the 15th. Yet, the product is actually SHIPPING on Junne 15th!! :|
June 11, 200519 yr on the page jipay copied for us, you see a "limit 5 per customer" note for the DSII. the first time that i'm seeing this... the crawler is very early (june). perhaps we'll see the first decent pics of the model next week already the crawler does have 8 tracks...Sam lied to us :P :P :P
June 11, 200519 yr Speaking of tracks, I'm pretty sure each one is comprised of 34 tread pieces, making it 272 total, giving us 1397 other pieces. At $139.99, that's just about EXACTLY piece-to-price - WITHOUT the treads. I'm loving it! (as far as pieces go)
June 11, 200519 yr I AM ANNOYED, BIG TIME. I was desperate for this set - and still am - but what about a UK release?!? This is the only Star Wars set I really want, and after my wait, US only! Now what? Any news for us UK people?
June 11, 200519 yr Calm down! The UK will be getting it, its just being relewsed early in the US. :) Jon.
June 11, 200519 yr Lol, I WON'T CALM DOWN! That was a joke don't worry, it is just I have wanted this set sooo long, and the date, well I thought it would be global. Ah well, I hope it comes to the UK VERY soon!
June 11, 200519 yr ...and what about Australia? Also, is it only being released on S@H? And look what load of dissapointment I have:
June 11, 200519 yr ...and what about Australia? Also, is it only being released on S@H? Well Australia is in the same situation as Europe, its not on SAH as of now, but will be really soon ;) Being an "exclusive" set I think that TRU should carry those (no posting !!!)!!
June 12, 200519 yr I have been pretty busy lately so I haven't had the time to reply but I'm loving the new Sandcrawler. With the exception of R5-D4 all the figures look great and the Sandcrawler itself looks very detailed with lots of playability. My only concern is how stable the set is. Cyclonis it should be up for Australia on S@H in the next month or so, but since last year Australia has been getting the S@H exclusive sets at retailers such as Cloud City, UCS Snowspeeder and the TIE Fighter Collection and at great prices too (I got the TIE Collection for AU$97 at Toyworld last month, the RRP being $150)
June 13, 200519 yr Why on earth did lego leave the R5-D4 droid blank???? I mean it just looks stupid, would it really of cost them that much just to add a little detail to it. :(
June 13, 200519 yr Why on earth did lego leave the R5-D4 droid blank???? I mean it just looks stupid, would it really of cost them that much just to add a little detail to it. :( is that the one in cyclonis pic? i believe that one has an all white head in the film... it's also cheaper... we've said before, tlc is trying to save money on production costs. this is one of their methods.
June 13, 200519 yr Well, I have one pre-ordered on Next Day Air, and I'll make sure to give an extremely detailed photo review. Should arrive by Thursday or Friday!
June 13, 200519 yr Normal version : 140 dollars = 115 euros TLC vision of the world : 140 dollars = 170 euros DO they think we are retarded or something ? Have some doubts :|
June 13, 200519 yr Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh, I just love to be right on the pricing of TLC (once again, ironic me ???). as predicted its a 169.99
June 13, 200519 yr Yes, I can still see you telling me 170 euros at the restaurant the other day. This proves they put the 170 price tag on it while eating... Imagine the scene... Lego Rep : "Hey how much should we sell the Sandcrawler ?" Lego Mkting Resp : " Well *schrounch schrounch* I think that 170 euros would be good. it's not like if they had technologies that would make them aware it's 140 dollars on the other side of the world" Lego Rep : "you said it bud. It's like this thing you told aboput me last day, what was the name ? Aternet ? Internet ? Whatever, it will never work..."
June 13, 200519 yr Just do what i do buy it off of bricklink from someone in the usa, i bought my AT-AT that way it was
June 13, 200519 yr Jipay - dit :170 euros for the sandcrawler Jipay - dit : 140 dollars for the US Jipay - dit : ... Inzilad
