ArrowBricks Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I agree with many (apologies as for some strange reason I'm unable to quote) It's frustrating to see another Naboo Starfighter and Sith infiltrator when a Naboo Yacht could be included. However it's going to be refreshing seeing completely new sets for The Force Awakens! Also new rebel version A-wings and other ships we're familiar with but also completely new ones. Reminds me of the excitement of the never seen before Clone Wars sets back in 2007-08 Quote
npgcole Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Doesn't look like any of the minifigures are updates, they usually have an orange glow around them if they're new. Quote

Fire spray 31 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 For a picture of the Sith Infiltrator 75096 (minifig line-up only), please visit: http://www.brickshel...drace/image.jpg Haha jokes on you I can see the Sith Infiltrator on the side of the box! Wow looks amazingly pixelated : D Quote
The Executive Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Boy I can't wait for TFA to come out and we can finally start getting some new stuff instead of the same crap rehashed every two or three years. Quote
Fulcrumfan91 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Actually, Darth Maul looks updated. It looks like he has a new head mould, similar to the Tusken Raider in theT-16 Skyhopper set. I'm very curious to see the Infiltrator when in comes out. Quote
Fulcrumfan91 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Also, I suppose this is all personal preference, but I don't understand the complaints a lot of people have with sets that are redesigned. I for one welcome redesigns...they give us a chance to see what's new with the iconic ships, how lego has tried to improve sets and make them a little more movie accurate. The last sith infiltrator had a serious design flaw in that the ship couldn't be flown upside down..I find it exciting that the ship has been redesigned and these issues have been possibly corrected. The new Naboo Starfighter was redone so that the ship could have a new firing mechanism installed...although not much else was really redesigned, other than the destroyer droids, fighter accessories. The Flash Speeder looks amazing and I definitely like that new battle droid carrier. I think it's great that we get redesigns. Quote

Clone 01354 Productions Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Boring set + Boring Minifigs + From TPM = Skip. Well, I just saved some extra money! Quote
James Wellington Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Boring set + Boring Minifigs + From TPM = Skip. Well, I just saved some extra money! I couldn't of agreed more! More money for the other June sets, or TFA sets Quote
Artanis I Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 The big question is: what colour are Watto's hands? Medium blue? (Please, TLG I want medium blue hands for less than $40 or whatever it is at the moment) Quote
hallonsylt Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Is it just me that would LOVE to see a UCS-style Vulture(Edit) Droid Starfighter? I think now is the last chance for these types of sets to come out in a while because of the new movie. Hoth rumors are nice to hear, a UCS AT-AT makes alot of sence. We'll probably see them in Episode VII. Edited March 9, 2015 by hallonsylt Quote

I for one welcome redesigns...they give us a chance to see what's new with the iconic ships, how lego has tried to improve sets and make them a little more movie accurate. I think you have to put it in perspective. We get sick of the same thing over and over when there are other ships they could add to the lineup. Plus overall I think we get bored of the same stuff because there hasn't been a new movie in a while. So in a couple years when we are awash in new movie based sets, the redesigns will be fine since they will be more of a "side dish" instead of being the "main course". Quote
JRBricks Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Forgive me if I've missed this, but is there any info/pictures on any Star Wars Celebration Anaheim exclusives? Whether it's along the lines of the past chibi sets, CubeDudes, or even exclusive minifigs, sets, etc?? Quote
Im a brickmaster. Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Actually, I wouldnt mind a new infiltrator as the 2011 one is currently half destroyed in one of my drawers... Quote

It can either be a moulded head like the Tusken Raiders but then it can be what they've done in the past and have the head piece. I really want this to be a good set. I love sith ships! Quote
hallonsylt Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 ......You're not alone. Im glad to hear it! :D I really wouldn't like a UCS Vulture Droid Starfighter. I'd much rather have a a new UCS millennium falcon, or a UCS hoth or AT-AT I get why you would like the AT-AT, but why a Falcon? The current one looks amazing. And is not the whole point of it to be rare "dayum I wish I had that one"-ish? Just personal preference Quote

Just personal preference The current one looks amazing indeed, but because I don't have one, a new version would be awesome with the movie coming out. Edited March 9, 2015 by Kelso Quote
Legopls Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I am actually happy with this new episode 1 sets as I was only able to pick the podracers up. I just jope that lego will make a naboo royal starship. Quote
hallonsylt Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) The current one looks amazing indeed, but because I don't have one, a new version would be awesome with the movie coming out. I see what you mean. But it feels like current 10179 owners are getting robbed, especially those who bought it back in the day on release. I've saved up alot of money to buy that Falcon, to have this great epic ship. Then it comes a new one, more refined, and I stand here with the "outdated" version that cost me tons of money. Edit: Do you feel what I mean? :) Edited March 9, 2015 by hallonsylt Quote

Am I getting robbed? Nope. Quote

Look at the mos eisley cantina, everyone wanted the old one until the new one came out... Quote
Khaled Yousef Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I think the ones being robbed are those who buy the original UCS Falcon for thousands of dollars; I wish LEGO would release a new one so we can buy it at retail price again and not get robbed. Quote
