TheBrickHitHouse Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I lost track - are we expecting more Rebels sets this year (not including the cruiser)? Feeling like it's going to be a cheap summer. Quote
GuyDudeMan27 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Wow! Your recreation of the shuttle looks spot on. The size is perfect, which makes me more excited for the set. Quote
Darth Punk Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 In the perhaps changing landscape of action figures this is an interesting read http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/content/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=15082 Quote
djmangunz Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I've only seen guesses based on price point & piece count, rattling off the list of vehicles we know/suspect might be in the film: a new-style X-wing, a Falcon w/ rectangular radar dish, the concept-art TIE Shuttle, a 'new' TIE (so far differences aren't as obvious as between TFA X-wings and OT X-wings), Rey's speeder, perhaps one of the more complex speeder/shuttles from concept art, maybe an Imperial transport of some sort (whatever ship delivers the stormtroopers from the teaser to their destination), maybe some other character-specific ship we've yet to see. Thanks for the summary! I appreciate you taking the time to put the information together. Quote

Jedi-Bendu Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Can anyone give a summary of the rumors for the Force Awakens sets? I found nrg's post but I feel like there were a few other people who had information about what we might see with the sets. Here's my detailed (and spoiler filled) guess on what the Episode VII will be, illustrated with leaked pix and concept art: •75099 Lead Hero Craft 26,99 Euro Rey’s speeder Minifigs: Rey, Finn, BB-8, maybe Max Von Sydows character? •75100 Villain Craft 49,99 Euro I have no idea....could be this...or maybe the Tri-WIng fighter? I don't think it's this one, since it's seen in Rey's AT-AT. The TIEis very much like the old one, so I don't think it's this one. •75101 Villain Starcraft 69,99 Euro Since it’s a Starcraft, I bet it’s this one. Larger than the standard TIE, so the higher price is justified. Figs I think that are included: new stormies, GC’s chrome stormtrooper. •75102 Hero Starfighter 89,99 Euro A no brainer: the new X-Wing. The old one was 69,99 Euro; the price difference is because I think a large animal is included as seen in this pic. Figs included: Poe Dameron,.... •75103 Villain Transport 99,99 Euro Stormtrooper Transport Since it states Transport, it must be the trooper transport. Figs included: loads of stormies •75104 Lead Villain Vehicle 119,99 Euro Likely to be something we haven't seen yet in the leaked concept art pix. Minifigs included: Kylo Ren, Andy Serkis' character, Domhnall Gleesons character •75105 Hero Vehicle 149,99 Euro Easy: the Millennium Falcon Included: Han, Chewbacca.....and 4 other figs I guess (since the 7965 also had 6 figs) Figs that are likely to be included in these sets (besides the characters I mentioned): -Luke -Leia -Max Von Sydows character -Lupita Nyong'o's character (there were rumors she's playing an alien....maybe this fella? -R2 & 3PO Also, this pic leaked....it shows 5 Hasbro figs. No doubt their LEGO counterparts will look almost the same... Edited February 19, 2015 by Jedi-Bendu Quote

I don't nornally follow Hasbro so it's hard to gauge some of this stuff. The lego Star Wars constraction sets do indicate a change. How much of it will affect TLG is hard to say. Hopefully we will see with the TFA sets. Quote

TWP Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Just wondering... Does the WHITE Rebel Hoth Trooper in the advent calendar mean that we'll have a re-design? Although, quite a nice one. I wonder this too, does anyone know that? Is it a officer-type trooper or just a regular one? Quote
Gremer Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Have we ever had an exclusive variant of a figure in an Advent Calendar (excluding holiday variants and Boba Fett)? Quote
GallardoLU Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Have we ever had an exclusive variant of a figure in an Advent Calendar (excluding holiday variants and Boba Fett)? Boba I would list as an exclusive from an advent (I agree holiday ones are expected so don't count) aside from little Boba, there are technically about a dozen exclusive to the previous 4 advents. usually due to a head swap (heads not exclusive to the advent of course) in reality there one other with unique parts, and that is Luke from 2014 with his unique legs. (white legs with printed wraps, all others are tan with printing) Quote

The_Chosen_1 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 The minifigure is revealed! I love it! http://www.starwars.com/news/lego-star-wars-character-encyclopedia-and-proto-fett-minifigure-exclusive Quote
Slurpifier Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 That is cool! Loving the detail! Must pick this one up! Quote
Jedi-Bendu Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 The minifigure is revealed! I love it! http://www.starwars....igure-exclusive Since TLG doesn't make new molds for figs like this (figs that are included with a book) this is a great minifig to get. About the figure: A few years ago I interviewed Robert Watts, co-producer of ESB and asked him: I read something about an abandoned concept for The Empire Strikes Back; the Elite Stormtrooper. It was basically an all-white Boba Fett. The concept was abandoned and Boba Fett was created out of this. Can you give more insight/information regarding this? Why was it abandoned and what did George Lucas initially want to do with it? His answer: I remember it being called a super stormtrooper. What happened was that the character of Boba Fett appeared and the costume in a different colour was perfect for him. Remember that the screenplay was still being written whilst we were preparing so changes happened. I think the super stormtrooper was thought of for the Hoth sequence and became the snowtroopers you see in the movie. http://starwarsinterviews1.blogspot.nl/2011/02/robert-watts-co-producer-star-wars.html Quote
GallardoLU Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 yup, that went from Meh, just another book, to I Must Have IT!!!! Proto Fett has always been my favorite piece of concept art, and this just hit it out of the park for me! too excited! Quote
Krulis Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 He realy is just perfect. Must have fig for sure. Quote
Gremer Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Proto Fett is fantastic! Unlike the Dark Side, I actually have a reason to pick this up now. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Wow, TWO versions of a character that was literally never in anything but concept art and tests. That's awesome. The old one was quite bland really, while this one looks great and will be useful for making custom figures. Quote
VSimovic Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 The minifigure is revealed! I love it! http://www.starwars....igure-exclusive VERY cool Quote
Sir von Lego Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 What will happen with Set numbers 75061 - 75071? Quote
wesker Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Boba Fett looks pretty cool. Would love to see Lego release more concept art minifigures in the future. Since this is the first chance I've had to check out the Toy Fair pics, I have to say I'm really impressed by both the Imperial Shuttle and Flash Speeder. The builds on both sets are fantastic and I can't wait to pick them up the moment they come out. The minifigure selection is nice too. Its good to finally have an Endor Han Solo and Captain Tarpals is a nice surprise. I'm glad Leia finally has a unique face again and I like the choice of giving her a cloth poncho since its not only giving us an update of a previous minifigure (Endor Leia) but its also giving us an all new one underneath (General Leia) The Naboo Fighter looks solid for the most part, but too similiar to the previous versions. I'm not sure I like the grey underside showing up around the cockpit area. Shame there's no Theed Battle Padme either. She's long overdue. The Final Duel looks good and I like the way it can fold up. Great to have Palpatine with a more neutral expression this time and the new Vader helmet looks awesome although will take time getting used to after 15 years of the classic helmet mold. The one thing I don't like is Luke's new face. I know everyone wasn't a fan of how detailed the 2014 one was, but this one is almost too plain. Its also annoying that they can't keep a consistant design for Luke and keep changing his face every year. Quote
