Dragonlego27 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7Rfi4RQMFKM I already expected a new Hoth Echo Base. A few weeks ago Just2good posted this video with new molds and prints where you can see a medical droid and also a head that looks like the May 4th Han Solo (but it's slightly different). Wow, good find! It's nice we're getting the Medical Droid, though I can't tell if it's different from the original. In the video, there's also a black chestplate next to the droid, could that be from another Star Wars figure? Finally, does anyone think the summer wave will be postponed and combined with the TFA sets, or will they be kept separate. It seems odd that Lego would release so many sets from a single theme so close to eachother, even if it is the first new SW film in a decade and close to Christmas. Quote
Slurpifier Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I hope the summer wave, remains a summer wave! If Lego really want to make a big profit, I can see them releasing a TFA wave around the time of release, the same as The Hobbit line, but more closer to the release of the film. We should all know that Hasbro will do it, so why not Lego? Quote

It seems odd that Lego would release so many sets from a single theme so close to eachother, even if it is the first new SW film in a decade and close to Christmas. Seems highly doubtful that there will be a combined wave especially seeing we have a list for the summer wave developing. You have to remember that rebels is also getting sets and is most likely the source of the imperial assault carrier. This is Star Wars after all, a merchandising juggurnaut in of itself plus combined with Disney and next Christmas will be blanketed in Star Wars. I fully expect a TFA wave in sept/oct in time for the holidays of 5-6 sets. A wave dominated by vehicles and other non plot spoiling sets. January 2016 we will see our first TFA ucs, perhaps an iconic ship and it's new crew. Quote
kr-lik Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I just bought meslef the new 75082 TIE Advanced Prototype at a SMYK store in Poland. Buying LEGO at that store should be punished by death (their margin...) but I couldn't wait really. It's a pretty neat set tho the prototype seems really small comparing like to the last TIE fighter... Especially the wings are really smaller. The figures tho are perfect! Quote
Aethersprite Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 The droid carrier is the TRU exclusive here in Canada. That's great news! Anywhere but TRU is fine by me. Thanks! Quote
duboismerci Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 That's great news! Anywhere but TRU is fine by me. Thanks! I know most people dislike TRU but here it is a real life saver. The prices are the same as the one on the lego shop but TRU has 20% sale quite frequently. I buy mostly from TRU and almost never from the lego shop. I am so happy that we are getting a Flash speeder and another N1 starfighter. It is my second favorite ship (after the republic gunship) and I don't have one. Hoping one of these 2 sets have an episode 1 Dart Maul minifig Quote
markw Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I'd love for TFA lego to be available before the film. I remember getting hold of a Hasbro Biker Scout before ROTJ was released (that was my memory, but I was 5/6 years old and it may have just been before I saw it) and being totally blown away by it. Kenner, obvs Quote
TWP Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I have to say I'm quite exited for the summer sets that we know of, especially the tyderium shuttle. Can't wait to build it! Quote
Something_Awesome Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 So I guess the AT AT walker and new snow speeder make a lot of sense now that we know the death star replacement is the Hoth Echo Base. This could be awesome. Quote
Fuppylodders Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 So I guess the AT AT walker and new snow speeder make a lot of sense now that we know the death star replacement is the Hoth Echo Base. This could be awesome. No one 'knows' it is the replacement, that is a complete assumption... Quote
namioik Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 No one 'knows' it is the replacement, that is a complete assumption... Exactly. We been assuming the Death Star retirement since 2012 Quote
Something_Awesome Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) The death star's retirement is not important. The echo base is the death star-sized set that everyone was talking about. I used the word "replacement" to emphasize the piece count of the echo base. Edited December 28, 2014 by Something_Awesome Quote
Tariq j Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) ^^ Where did you hear it was the "death star sized set"? Edited December 28, 2014 by Tariq j Quote
DarthR2-D2 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Is there a source actually backing the Hoth set? And anything concerning it? EDIT: Or the Yularen promo fig? Edited December 28, 2014 by DarthR2-D2 Quote
Gremer Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Is there a source actually backing the Hoth set? And anything concerning it? There's a 2015 calendar that has the Echo Base on it and...that's it. Quote
Tariq j Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) A list was posted online a couple of days ago identifying some sets coming out next year. As far as I am aware (and correct me if I'm wrong) no other information has been given about it. Edited December 28, 2014 by Tariq j Quote
Darth Punk Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 The rumor about a death star sized set stated it would be coming out in January. Quote
irispen Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 No one said that it will come out on january Quote
namioik Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 The rumor about a death star sized set stated it would be coming out in January. That rumor doesn't seem likely. Lego usually gives at least 1 month notice before an exclusive is available for purchase Quote
DarthR2-D2 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Will one of those "Wolf" sets be the Advent Calendar? Quote
Darth Punk Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) merman, on 06 September 2014 - 06:20 PM, said: Spoke to an employee from a British Legostore. He told me a HUGE SW set is on its way. At least the size of the Death Star. The employees did not know what set it was, but only it was huge. Probably released in January and announced very shortly before that. A new Falcon? It will probably be in the 3000-5000 parts range. That rumor comes from me. I spoke to the employee. It was a SW set but he also mentioned January. And it was NOT the Slave. When we spoke the first images of the Slave already had emerged online. This is what the person who mentioned the Death Star sized set said. I was merely pointing this fact out, not that I believed it. Edited December 29, 2014 by Darth Punk Quote
DarthR2-D2 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I thought that was the 10179 re-release Quote
Darth Malgus Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Wonder how big the hoth set will be... wouldn't mind another wampa. 21-B wasn't too bad in the last set from memory. Looking forward to the tie fighter though. Quote
ChiefPie Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) It's gonna be hard not to buy sets when they are out since I would like the yularen. Edited December 29, 2014 by ChiefPie Quote

Looking forward to the tie fighter though. I had thought about the rumored (big) Hoth set. Something interesting would be adding thing from all the Hoth base sets. Quote
