July 2, 20159 yr Yeah, they're real. The printing is too detailed & precise with TLG-style foibles (clipped kneepads), the helmets of both look very clean... no reason to think they're fakes.
July 2, 20159 yr That was posted a couple of days ago Sorry guys, haven't really kept up with this thread as much. Good to know they're real though, they are very nice looking.
July 3, 20159 yr I'm really looking forward to Episode 7 and the associated sets! Just thought I'd share my thoughts on what little is available. I'm very interested in reading your guys opinion, ideas, and thoughts! SPOILER WARNING In the following, I share my thoughts about confirmed LEGO sets associated with the movie 'The Force Awakens'. This includes musings about plot and character rumours. * Rey's Speeder I expect it'll have Rey and BB-8 as minifigs, which, after seeing BB-8 on stage, makes this an instant purchase for me (likelihood to purchase at this point: 95%) * Snow Speeder No info yet other than the Snow Trooper picture. Really like the troopers and look forward to images of the speeders - 30% * Special Force Tie I like the new colour scheme of the ties and don't have a LEGO tie, yet. However, I'm not sure if the 'special force' will look different from the ties in both teasers. 50% * Poe's X-Wing I'm really curious to see whether this is the white/ blue X-Wing seen in the trailers or the black X-Wing from set photos. The latter would be very interesting and make this a certain purchase (80%). If it's white, I'd have to wait for the minifigs (aside from Poe and a droid, I don't know who could be included) - 50% * Transporter The greatest mystery, isn't it? The ship's shape and design will be important, but I think the main draw card for this set will be Captain Phasma and a number of the new Stormtroopers (including Finn). I suspect we'll see a battle pack sooner or later; yet, this one will test my patience - 40% * Kylo's shuttle I'm not a big fan of the design with its bland colour scheme and huge abundance of studs. It reminds me of far older LEGO SW sets and - for some reason - of the Sith Interceptor models. That said, I love the look and mystery surrounding Ren. I guess with this set I'll wait for the movie to see how much I like the character and how iconic his ship will be. If Ren shares the fate of Darth Maul (hugely promoted with massive potential before succumbing to a combination of poor writing and questionable acting), I might pass. If Kylo Ren turns out to have a similar impact as Darth Vader, I might get the ship come Christmas time. - 60% * Millennium Falcon My favourite fictional craft, and the only one I have is the Microfighter model. I purposefully let the 2011 version on the shelf as I hoped for a remake for Episode VII. Really hope the design will be improved upon (gaps and underbelly). I don't care too much about the minifigs but hope for C-3PO and Leia (I have neither). Either way, if the model's quality is at least on par with the previous version, it'll be my first Episode 7 build. 95% How do you guys think the characters will be distributed? I expect the following: Finn: Stormtrooper outfit in Transporter and casual outfit in Millennium Falcon Rey: Speeder and Falcon Ren: Shuttle, only Poe: X-Wing, only Luke: no idea! I hope he'll feature in this wave! If so, the Falcon seems most likely, I guess. Leia: see Luke. Phasma: I expect she'll be exclusive to the Transporter but could image she might feature in Ren's shuttle or even the Snowspeeder set (depending on the plot) Snoke: I'm afraid he might not feature in this wave. If he does, Ren's shuttle seems most likely. Kanata: no idea but suspect not in this wave Edited July 5, 20159 yr by Lynx
July 3, 20159 yr about the EP7 sets: I stopped to buy the LSW sets classics and rebels. I am buying only the Battlepacks until the release of the new sets. about the mini figures: it´s to early to know which one will be exclusive of a specific set. I believe we will have to wait until 2nd season of 2016 to discover it Edited July 3, 20159 yr by Mr Meleca
July 4, 20159 yr I really like the design of the FO Snowtrooper, but I can't make out too many details on the FO TIE Pilot. Here's my minifig predictions: -Rey's Speeder: Rey, Finn, BB-8 -First Order Snowspeeder: Kylo Ren, Snowtrooper [x2] -First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter: TIE Pilot, Dohmnall Gleeson's character, Stormtrooper [x2] -Poe's X-Wing Starfighter: Poe, BB-8, Gorwyn, Resistance Soldier [x2] -First Order Transporter: Finn (Stormtrooper), Poe (jacket), Captain Phasma, Stormtrooper [x3] -Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle: Kylo Ren, Flametrooper [x2], Stormtrooper [x3] -Milennium Falcon: Han, Chewy, Rey, Finn, BB-8, Leia, Maz Kanata
July 4, 20159 yr * Poe's X-Wing I'm really curious to see whether this is the white/ blue X-Wing seen in the trailers or the black X-Wing from set photos. What set photos??
July 4, 20159 yr I reckon Luke will show up in a set that ren is in possibly, as its rumoured that the two have a spectacular lightsaber duel in a snowy forest.
July 4, 20159 yr I reckon Luke will show up in a set that ren is in possibly, as its rumoured that the two have a spectacular lightsaber duel in a snowy forest. You might have your rumors mixed up, the widespread rumor has it someone else duels in the snow forest ;)
July 4, 20159 yr You might have your rumors mixed up, the widespread rumor has it someone else duels in the snow forest ;) Odd I could've sworn I read somewhere that Luke alongside another lightsaber wielder duels Ren, oh well guess we'll find out in December or in the next trailers/tv spots possibly. Either way i'd be surprised if lego didn't include Luke in this wave.

July 4, 20159 yr Things have gone very quiet as to whether we're getting another UCS set for the year. Rumour has been for Hoth base - with the new advent calendar trooper as evidence. Was quite looking forward to that...
July 5, 20159 yr * Poe's X-Wing I'm really curious to see whether this is the white/ blue X-Wing seen in the trailers or the black X-Wing from set photos. The latter would be very interesting and make this a certain purchase (80%). If it's white, I'd have to wait for the minifigs (aside from Poe and a droid, I don't know who could be included) - 50% From the prominence in the trailer, I'd bet that the X-Wing is going to be the blue one. However, I do hope that Lego uses lbg rather than white. From the initial video with JJ Abrams, i think grey will be a better march.
July 5, 20159 yr I really like the design of the FO Snowtrooper, but I can't make out too many details on the FO TIE Pilot. Here's my minifig predictions: -Rey's Speeder: Rey, Finn, BB-8 -First Order Snowspeeder: Kylo Ren, Snowtrooper [x2] -First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter: TIE Pilot, Dohmnall Gleeson's character, Stormtrooper [x2] -Poe's X-Wing Starfighter: Poe, BB-8, Gorwyn, Resistance Soldier [x2] -First Order Transporter: Finn (Stormtrooper), Poe (jacket), Captain Phasma, Stormtrooper [x3] -Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle: Kylo Ren, Flametrooper [x2], Stormtrooper [x3] -Milennium Falcon: Han, Chewy, Rey, Finn, BB-8, Leia, Maz Kanata I suspect there's some wishful thinking clouding the force. The future, always in motion it is. Difficult to tell. No way we're getting three principal characters in Rey's Speeder. Rey, BB-8, if there's a 3rd, it will be someone/something from the sand planet, Maz maybe. First Order Snowspeeder: Pilot, Snowtrooper, +1... Maybe Kylo Ren. First Order TIE: either what you said, or substitute a FirstOrder astromech for one (or both) of the troopers. X-wing: Poe, astromech, Leia. (Echoing the previous Y-wing figs) First Order Transport: Phasma, 3xStormtroopers, 1xFinntrooper, Pilot Command Shuttle: Kylo Ren, 2x Flametroopers, Pilot, First Order officer Falcon: Han, Chewie, Rey, Finn, BB-8, Threepio, 1xStormtrooper, plus one minor character like an Alliance officer or trooper
July 5, 20159 yr I see that we have moved from "Pictures and Rumors" to "Wishlists". I also see that no one cares about spoilers and being courteous to others anymore. But anyway, that snowtrooper looks pretty neat, but I think it's a bit too over-detailed on the torso. The helmet is so simple and plain, but the torso has too many lines and shadows.....
July 5, 20159 yr I reckon Luke will show up in a set that ren is in possibly, as its rumoured that the two have a spectacular lightsaber duel in a snowy forest. You might have your rumors mixed up, the widespread rumor has it someone else duels in the snow forest ;) Hey guys, let's stick to rumours about sets, not about the films and let's also avoid wishlists. Thanks.
July 5, 20159 yr While I can't begin to understand why people who wish to know absolutely NOTHING about the year's biggest movie can't stay out of a topic which is discussing rumors and pictures of LEGO sets based on that movie, in 3 days, the exhibition hall doors open at San Diego Comic Con, where SWTFA is known to have an absolutely enormous presence, including at least one new set reveal. Do you think they'd save the rest of the sets to be revealed at D23 on August 14th-16th? That'd be getting pretty close to the street date of Sept 4th...

Well said. Do you think they'd save the rest of the sets to be revealed at D23 on August 14th-16th? That'd be getting pretty close to the street date of Sept 4th... Maybe the rumored UCS EchoBase will be revealed at D23? I believe this UCS was scheduled for a october/november release (this was posted months ago).
July 5, 20159 yr However... if this ship's wings were able to slide up and down in variable modes it might explain all the deep grooves and details on the underside of the wing. SPOILER WARNING My reply to this post includes thoughts based on the second official trailer to The Force Awakens movie. I am very certain the wings can be extended and retracted. Just look at this image from the trailer: http://images-cdn.mo...aser-360349.jpg The right wing seems much shorter than the left one - and that's clearly not just due to perspective. I wonder what the advantage of this would be. More space could allow for more canons and firepower - but I can't make out any on the LEGO model. Unrelated to Ren's shuttle: I wonder if these bulkier ships (same image as above) could be the First Order Transporters. Ah, this speculation before a release is so much fun. :)
July 5, 20159 yr SPOILER WARNING The right wing seems much shorter than the left one Thats because there's a ship in front of the right wing.
July 5, 20159 yr Thats because there's a ship in front of the right wing. Haha, you're right! I was staring at that image for an eternity but was sure the transporter was closer to the star destroyer. Old I become. Poor my eyesight is. :)
