March 8, 201510 yr I agree with many (apologies as for some strange reason I'm unable to quote) It's frustrating to see another Naboo Starfighter and Sith infiltrator when a Naboo Yacht could be included. However it's going to be refreshing seeing completely new sets for The Force Awakens! Also new rebel version A-wings and other ships we're familiar with but also completely new ones. Reminds me of the excitement of the never seen before Clone Wars sets back in 2007-08
March 8, 201510 yr Doesn't look like any of the minifigures are updates, they usually have an orange glow around them if they're new.

March 8, 201510 yr For a picture of the Sith Infiltrator 75096 (minifig line-up only), please visit: http://www.brickshel...drace/image.jpg Haha jokes on you I can see the Sith Infiltrator on the side of the box! Wow looks amazingly pixelated : D
March 9, 201510 yr Boy I can't wait for TFA to come out and we can finally start getting some new stuff instead of the same crap rehashed every two or three years.
March 9, 201510 yr Actually, Darth Maul looks updated. It looks like he has a new head mould, similar to the Tusken Raider in theT-16 Skyhopper set. I'm very curious to see the Infiltrator when in comes out.
March 9, 201510 yr Also, I suppose this is all personal preference, but I don't understand the complaints a lot of people have with sets that are redesigned. I for one welcome redesigns...they give us a chance to see what's new with the iconic ships, how lego has tried to improve sets and make them a little more movie accurate. The last sith infiltrator had a serious design flaw in that the ship couldn't be flown upside down..I find it exciting that the ship has been redesigned and these issues have been possibly corrected. The new Naboo Starfighter was redone so that the ship could have a new firing mechanism installed...although not much else was really redesigned, other than the destroyer droids, fighter accessories. The Flash Speeder looks amazing and I definitely like that new battle droid carrier. I think it's great that we get redesigns.

March 9, 201510 yr Boring set + Boring Minifigs + From TPM = Skip. Well, I just saved some extra money!

March 9, 201510 yr The big question is: what colour are Watto's hands? Medium blue? (Please, TLG I want medium blue hands for less than $40 or whatever it is at the moment)
March 9, 201510 yr Is it just me that would LOVE to see a UCS-style Vulture(Edit) Droid Starfighter? I think now is the last chance for these types of sets to come out in a while because of the new movie. Hoth rumors are nice to hear, a UCS AT-AT makes alot of sence. We'll probably see them in Episode VII. Edited March 9, 201510 yr by hallonsylt

I for one welcome redesigns...they give us a chance to see what's new with the iconic ships, how lego has tried to improve sets and make them a little more movie accurate. I think you have to put it in perspective. We get sick of the same thing over and over when there are other ships they could add to the lineup. Plus overall I think we get bored of the same stuff because there hasn't been a new movie in a while. So in a couple years when we are awash in new movie based sets, the redesigns will be fine since they will be more of a "side dish" instead of being the "main course".
March 9, 201510 yr Forgive me if I've missed this, but is there any info/pictures on any Star Wars Celebration Anaheim exclusives? Whether it's along the lines of the past chibi sets, CubeDudes, or even exclusive minifigs, sets, etc??
March 9, 201510 yr Actually, I wouldnt mind a new infiltrator as the 2011 one is currently half destroyed in one of my drawers...
March 9, 201510 yr Is it just me that would LOVE to see a UCS-style Vulture(Edit) Droid Starfighter? ......You're not alone.

March 9, 201510 yr For a picture of the Sith Infiltrator 75096 (minifig line-up only), please visit: http://www.brickshel...drace/image.jpg Thanks for this, Darth Maul is interesting. It can either be a moulded head like the Tusken Raiders but then it can be what they've done in the past and have the head piece. I really want this to be a good set. I love sith ships!

I'd much rather have a a new UCS millennium falcon, or a UCS hoth or AT-AT I get why you would like the AT-AT, but why a Falcon? The current one looks amazing. And is not the whole point of it to be rare "dayum I wish I had that one"-ish? Just personal preference
March 9, 201510 yr I get why you would like the AT-AT, but why a Falcon? The current one looks amazing. And is not the whole point of it to be rare "dayum I wish I had that one"-ish? Just personal preference The current one looks amazing indeed, but because I don't have one, a new version would be awesome with the movie coming out. Edited March 9, 201510 yr by Kelso
March 9, 201510 yr I am actually happy with this new episode 1 sets as I was only able to pick the podracers up. I just jope that lego will make a naboo royal starship.
March 9, 201510 yr The current one looks amazing indeed, but because I don't have one, a new version would be awesome with the movie coming out. I see what you mean. But it feels like current 10179 owners are getting robbed, especially those who bought it back in the day on release. I've saved up alot of money to buy that Falcon, to have this great epic ship. Then it comes a new one, more refined, and I stand here with the "outdated" version that cost me tons of money. Edit: Do you feel what I mean? :) Edited March 9, 201510 yr by hallonsylt

Edit: Do you feel what I mean? :) ...and you will still have that epic ship. I don't see the problem? No one is robbing you. I have the 7965 Falcon and this year the new TFA Falcon will be released. Am I getting robbed? Nope.

Edit: Do you feel what I mean? :) Yeah, I know what you mean, I have the death star and wouldn't like it either when they would make a new one. Look at the mos eisley cantina, everyone wanted the old one until the new one came out...
March 9, 201510 yr I think the ones being robbed are those who buy the original UCS Falcon for thousands of dollars; I wish LEGO would release a new one so we can buy it at retail price again and not get robbed.
