Gremer Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Rumors or wishlist? Either way, they seem plausible. The ARC-170 Starfighter sounds interesting, especially if it comes with a normal clone pilot. Edit: Nevermind that first part. Edited August 10, 2014 by Gremer Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Sounds great The only thing that confuses me is the Shadow Troopers battlepack, I mean those aren't canon anymore, are they? Quote
Just The Doctor Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 I wonder if geonosis troopers would be a clone wars set. If it were a pt then it would be plain white non camoflagued clones. Shadow troopers sounds good, I only have one original shadow stormy from the drop ship. I'm guessing the ones I mentioned are BP's The micro fighters sound great! I think we might finally get oddball with the arc-170. Not too interested in the other sets ATM. Quote
Robianco Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Well if it stays like that it'll be a cheap wave for me... I hope the microfighter Snowspeeder is Wedge or Wes Jansen. Troop Transport from the Kenner toys sounds interesting... Just a T-16 as a OT set then... Shadow Troopers BP also sounds interesting. Quote
GuyDudeMan27 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 These sets sound great! They also sound like I can afford most of them, so double yay! I am really sad that we didn't get a new imperial shuttle or tie intercepter however. I guess more reason to finish my system scale version... Quote
Gremer Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 I'm going to skip the Rebels sets (because they don't appeal to me, and I want to save money), so it seems like next year will be pretty cheap, especially compared to this year. Quote
CM4Sci Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Eh, not too interesting. But a new AAT! Hooray! -Sci Quote
adotnamedstud Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 T-16 Skyhopper is the most interesting one to me on the list. I hope we get some Womp Rats or Tusken Raiders in that set along with a red jumpsuit Luke. Quote
Tom Jurassic Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Sounds fairly interesting. Sounds like a lot of Stormie building potential with the Transport and Shadow Troops, so rather happy. However, Shadow Troops could be clones... Quote
just2good Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 All I want are the OT microfighters, and if they have her, the blue-haired Rebels girl. Quote
Blackice200 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Sounds great The only thing that confuses me is the Shadow Troopers battlepack, I mean those aren't canon anymore, are they? Unless they make an appearance in rebels, which seems very likely. THE RUMOR LIST Microfighters 75072 ARC-170 Starfighter™ 75073 Vulture Droid™ 75074 Snowspeeder™ 75075 AT-AT™ 75076 Republic Gunship™ 75077 Homing Spider Droid™ Normal scale sets 75089 Geonosis Troopers™ 75079 Shadow Troopers 75080 AAT™ 75081 T-16 Skyhopper Star Wars Rebels 75078 Imperial Troop Transport 75090 Ezra’s Speeder Bike™ 75082 TIE Advanced Prototype 75083 AT-DP™ 75084 Wookiee™ Gunship Hm. I can most guarantee that TLG won't miss the opportunity for sand people in the T-16. As for the shadow troopers, maybe it will be something like this? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_shadow_trooper Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Yes!!! I've been hoping for a T-16 remake for a while now, and had a feeling it was coming. I'm definitely not counting on Tuskens being included, but it would certainly be a nice surprise if so. Really happy about the new AAT as well (hopefully it's a TPM version)! Quote
Venkefedo Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Disappointed in the rumored Microfighters... I know the Gunship and Spider Droid will probably look adorable, but I was hoping we'd see a little more OT (or even EU) in the next wave... Y-wing, B-wing, A-wing, Sandcrawler, Cloud Car (would be odd, but I'd love to see it), E-wing, Hound's Tooth, IG-2000, Slave II, Moldy Crow, Ebon Hawk, Mynock, Outrider, Mon Calamari cruiser, Rebel Frigate, Rebel Transport, TIE Bomber, Lambda Shuttle... and several PT/CW ships, too, of course. I just hope the PT figures in this one are more interesting than "2 battle droids and 2 clone pilots" The Rebels sets sound unsurprising, but I'm still looking forward to them. Never been too crazy about the T-16, but it could be intriguing (especially what figures/creatures it might include--DARK TAN hair for Luke, please!). The AAT might be okay, but would it be too much to ask for it to be crewed by Neimoidian Warriors from the current Vulture Droid set? The Shadow Troopers BP sounds most interesting; I've got 3 from the drop ship and TIE Crawler, but more would be welcome and could also be a sign that they'll still tackle some EU, even if only in small sets (again, Micro Fighters would be great for that!). A regular Stormie BP is overdue tho... It's been ages since the drop ship BP! Edited August 10, 2014 by Venkefedo Quote
Archer Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 As far as I can tell we have a representation of every battle droid type from the movies, however we know that lego rarely releases a set anymore without some unique fig in it, so I'm kinda hoping to see a Boss Nass fig in the AAT set, I mean it would be just as out of place as the Naboo Security Officer that came with the MTT. Quote
Slurpifier Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Seems nice, I suppose? Like a few of the set names, hope these rumors are 99% true! Quote
AnthonyP301 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) That sounds good if it's true. I'll probably get the Rebels sets and the T-16. I wonder if the Shadow Trooper battle pack is from Rebel and what the Geonosis BP would have. Edit: I'm also hoping that The ITT will be a $30 army builder for Imperials like Uruk-Hai Army and Mirkwood Elf Army in LotR/Hobbit. Hopefully it will have the prison thing like the Kenner toy.

Mahtion Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 All of the Rebel sets were ones I expected for Lego to make, so that's exciting. The Tie Prototype is essentially a mix of Tie Interceptor and Vaders Tie Advanced. The Troop transport will have lots of troops along with Agent Kallus unless he comes in the Ezra's speeder set. Maybe Sabine will be with the Inquisitors Tie Prototype or included with the Troop Transport. The Battlepacks are always welcome as long as Geonosis Troopers aren't Battledroids. The Microfighters seem like interesting choices, what will the Vulture Droid, Republic Gunship, and Spider Droid have for minifigures? Certainly not Battledroids we would hope. And the Snowspeeder would have yet another Rebel Pilot just with white gloves? What about the ATAT, a Pilot like in the system scale set? Quote
General Magma Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Geonosis Troopers? Hasn't there been a fairly recent Geonosis battlepack already? Assuming that one is PT-based, the shadow troopers could be based on Star Wars Rebels. The fact that we probably won't be seeing new SWTOR sets anytime soon (if ever again) still disappoints me very much, though. We got Darth Revan as a promo fig, but I don't think they can still make KOTOR or SWTOR sets due to the new canon - unless that SW era will somehow manage to be accepted back into the canon.. Quote
Darth Malgus Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 I'm quite happy with that list enough variety, I'm excited about the shadow troopers bp. An AAT would be good any chance of a Sio Bibble Quote
namioik Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) I sense the AAT would definitely be out of scale from the MTT. Regardless, I am still excited for it! Edited August 11, 2014 by namioik Quote

I don't think Shadow Troopers 75079 is a Battle Pack.. could be.. but theres the thing, the Geonosis Trooper's number is 75089.. theres a 75090 on this... but NO 75087.. if Shadow is a battle pack, then that would it have been its number, every year for Star Wars Battle Packs since 2007, the packs numbers have always been along each other, so I think theres some sets missing from this list. I could be wrong though. For gawd sake, I hope that Geonosis Battle Pack has just plain white Clone Troopers in it, I don't want the Clone Wars camo ones (There cool, not army builders though)! AAT sounds nice, if it isn't an f-up like the 2014 MTT was. I hope that AT-DP or Transport Ship has the Inquisitor in it the set, he seems like a really cool character to be made into LEGO (especially his lighter saber hilt) Quote

Agreed that we need more Plain Clones though, especially the Phase II Variant featured in the Turbo Tank Microfighter. Looking forward to see if anything from this list ends up in your Kashykk MOC, especially the AAT. Quote
wesker Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 So happy we're finally getting a new AAT. Hopefully it will be as well designed as the 2008 version only in Episode I colours this time. Fingers crossed for Theed Battle Padme and Boss Nass. I also missed the original T-16 so I'm glad we're getting another shot at it. Some Tusken Raiders or a deleted scene Biggs Darklighter would make this a must buy! The micro fighters seem pretty decent. Hopefully the Snowspeeder will come with a named pilot like Wedge Antilles rather than another generic one. Not as keen on next year's battlepacks however. I don't care for EU-ish troopers and am pretty burnt out from all the clone variants at this point. Just give me a set with four plain white clones and I'll be happy, Or better yet some OT Stormtroopers and Naboo Soldiers. The Rebels line up is about what I expected it to be. Wonder if we'll finally get that elusive Bail Organa thats been missing from all the PT and TCW sets? Biggest disapointment - no Bounty Hunter Pursuit remake. Hopefully it can still turn up as a store exclusive. Quote
DarthPotato Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 It's nice to see that the Microfighters are back. I guess that means the ones that came out in the 2014 winter wave sold well enough. I'm surprised we're still getting PT sets though (but I'm not complaining). It seemed like they were trying to push those aside and have more OT era sets. I really wonder how big this AAT is going to be... the Wookiee Gunship is most likely the largest set of the wave. Can they do the AAT justice if it's under $60? Because going by the numbers even the Skyhopper's bigger than the AAT. I'm curious about this. Captain Tarpals or Boss Nass would be cool, although I'm expecting another Padme. The Skyhopper really interests me as well. I think it will either come with either Tusken Raiders or Jawas. Quote
