Officially, we haven't actually gotten a trailer yet, just two teasers, the BTS reel from SDCC, and the Korean TV Spot.

It was confirmed by J.J. Abrams that we would get the first trailer "in the fall." Guessing we still have to wait a bit.

Right on. Well then the trailer ought to be amazing!

Well what is your website?

May I have a PM for Kylo with hood please if anyone would. :)

@ People who keep asking about Kylo with the hood - The box image is not that great, so all you see is a black minifigure with a black hood. Can't make out any details.

Oh nvm I have that pic thanks anyway.

I thought it was a more clear image so we could see the face print or mask whatever it may be. Certainly looks too dark and metallic for a face.

Awesome review! It really sucks because I have the last version and these aren't that different, but I really want the minifigs. What does BB-8 look like without the top part?

A single stud basically, the printing is repeated 4 times around it. But it's basically the soccer ball I described it as at that point.

Jim

Thanks for the review! Did you see any other sets when you picked up yours? I desperately want to see more of Kylo Ren minifigure and his command shuttle.

If possible could you take some pics of Finn?

I'll update the review to have better mini-figure pictures tomorrow.

As for other sets, I wish, I really want the troop transport and snowspeeder. Only this one was there.

Jim

And pics of Rey, Tasu leech, the other henchman, and the new bow?

I'll add them all don't worry.

Trust me, I've seen every photo of the ship, including the very first one. I've been following the leaks since day 1, and I have all of the original source images safely on my hard drive.

If anything, the back of the box only backs up my theory. If you look closely, you'll see a third set of arrows, possibly indicating that there's another stage to the wing functions.

Also, if you look at the connection points, you'll notice that they consist of a few black 1 x 4 bricks with grooves. Why would that be there, if not for another function?

Either way, I don't think you can definitively say that the wings do not fold out, much like I can't definitively say that they do. There's evidence to back up both sides of the debate. As noted by Lego Fett, we'll just have to wait and see.

Perhaps a 1x2 plate modified with door rail slides in that and when it has slid back the two studs length the wings then fold outward.

People saying they can't possibly move may be lacking some imagination about the mechanics. If you can't see in there from the box-art it's hard to be certain. People may be making false assumptions about where and how it is jointed and whether part of the body moves with the wing root.

Looks like some companies really could care less about Force Friday.

The ship really looks good in some ways, and lacking in others. I like the slide-out gunner stations, dislike the obvious gaps in the hull-top. Figures look nice, even the soccer ball, whose bottom looks better in those pics than the ones we saw before.

Glad someone agrees with me. Like I said before, I'll heavily modify the set if it comes down to that, but as it stands right now,

I believe that there's a solid possibility that the wings do fold out. I wonder if we'll know before September 4th, as the sets are being

spotted on the shelves and available for sale due to retailers making massive mistakes. As rollermonkey said, some companies really

couldn't care less for whatever reason. I'd pencil it down to employees not paying attention. My local Target has NO IDEA that a midnight

launch is happening, so that's a little concerning...

Also, the review is fantastic. That Dejarik table alone is honestly enough reason for me to purchase the set; the piece is absolutely gorgeous.

Not to mention the fact that nearly everything else is improved from the previous iteration, whether it be a simple color swap or a different build entirely.

Looks worth it to me, and in light of the review, the set has definitely moved up in my list of priorities. Still don't want anything as much as the Lead Villain Vehicle,

but that's neither here nor there.

There actually is a clear picture of the main bad guy figure out of the box with his printed mask floating around out there. I'll send you the picture.

Thank God I've been slacker and have never had a Millennium Falcon. This one looks pretty great although very similar to the last one. I'm just excited to finally get one. +1 for the great figs it comes with

Yeah, whats this image?

Again, this is not a forum for people to ask for pictures sent to them or communicate one2one. A community board is for more people to interact Stop that behaviour please.

I suggest you to read the post just above yours...

EB is not the place to try to work around TLG confidentiality policy, we won't allow that.

Any ideas when the advent calendar will be available to buy?

New images of ep7 minifigs show a lot of details. The biggest dissapointment for me is that Captain Phasma has a blank head with no printing. That is so outdated Lego, can't you print Gwenline Cristie's face for Phasma? As for other minifigs it now officiall , all Stormtroopers and Tie pilots have generic angry clone face, as expected. Rey and Uncars thug booth look pretty detailed and nice.

That's remind me of the old times of Star Wars theme where all Stormtroopers minifigures has either yellow or black colored head without printings.
