Nom Carver Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Hey, the first episode of that Droid Tales thing is up. https://www.youtube....h?v=LGVJvwER38w Wow! that made a whole lot more sense than the actual movies, add another 10 minutes of battle scenes and tie some other scenes and you would have the revindication of the PT (even if its made with lego).

Neomars Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 This was actually pretty funny. But then again I like anything that can make a joke out of the prequels. Quote
rollermonkey Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Phasma looks pretty good, but I do hope we get a May 4th or other promotional chrome version. ...and if that picture of the fig with the full, in-costume character isn't a spoiler, but the idea that the Empire = New Order (OT-->ST), much like how Republic = Empire (PT-->OT), then we're just making up stuff as we go as to what is and isn't a spoiler.

Venkefedo Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 First Order. "New Order" was the Empire... "the Emperor's New Order" and all that. But yeah! Quote
Jedi-Bendu Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) First Order. "New Order" was the Empire... "the Emperor's New Order" and all that. But yeah! No, this is New Order ;) Edited June 16, 2015 by Jedi-Bendu Quote
NNOPMOC Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 If they have Stormtoopers disembarking from the troop carrier to the strains of "Blue Monday" in the background . . . you'll know you saw it here first. Well played Jedi-Bendu. Quote
Kdapt-Preacher Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Avoiding spoilers is a perfectly reasonable goal, and everyone should respect that, but if you really care about that a thread explicitly devoted to discussion of future Star Wars stuff is a really dumb place to hang out. Phasma looks good, IMO. I don't mind the lack of chrome on the minifig; I suspect that she's gonna stick out like a sore thumb in the movie since that isn't an aesthetic we see a lot of in Star Wars, and I don't mind them making the figure a bit more consistent with every other one as long as we get the full, accurate version at some point. The helmet mold looks nice. I think it looks more proportionate to the figure--the current TK helmets always seemed huge, partially just because they cover the whole shoulders. Quote
Kim-Kwang-Seok Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 just2good's YT Channel has been erased - because of copyright infringement Does anyone here know a good "Lego report channel"? Quote
J.V.D. Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Couldn't agree more, look how puny the 2005 version looks in comparison to the new one: My wallet hates you for posting that picture!.. :-) The images of the new 75094 Tydirium already looked tempting, but the pricetag didn't really convince me, so I was considering to restore my old 7264, who has quite some yellowed parts.. But now seeing them side by side, I am sure I will send the Tydirium the clearance codes, so it can land in my collection.. Quote
Jedi-Bendu Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 A SW Lego magazine is coming....hopefully we'll get minifigs with future issues? A NEW POWER RISES OUT OF THE KIOSK: LEGO ® STAR WARS ™ MAGAZINE IS PUBLISHED ON THE 4TH OF JULYLargest magazine launch in the history of Blue Ocean: Europe-wide starting with 700 000 copies in 13 different languages.

Flieger Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Thanks for the info! Let's see how these mini models work out. I am not really a fan of mini models coming in polybags, so I am a little sceptical. Issues with minifigs would probably be guaranteed sales... especially if they make a whole line of minifigs that can be collected with the magazine. But it seems they decided for mini models... Quote
Tariq j Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Sweet! It sounds exciting we'll be getting some polybags. Quote
Jacob Nion Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I guess it's this magazine: via hothbricks.com The mini x wing is nothing too exciting. Quote
JRBricks Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Those little stacks of 1x1 plates are supposed to represent Luke and Yoda?? That X-wing looks verrry similar to the one from this past Celebration... Edited June 18, 2015 by JRBricks Quote
Anio Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 This promotional set is IMO way better than usual. It looks nice. Quote
Tariq j Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Nice, shame we didn't get it in system scale. Quote
Robianco Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Nice, shame we didn't get it in system scale. I'd rather it was in microscale if it's an SDCC exclusive rather than system scale. Mind you... they don't often put exclusive figures in SDCC sets so it's not like they'd throw an updated Jedi training fatigues Luke in it. Is there any precedent for these things being precursors to a future set? I'd kind of got the feeling that they're normally smaller scale versions of sets we've already had such as the Sandcrawler (although it had a bit of a farm diorama with it). We've then had microfighter versions of things such as the Ghost, Landspeeder and Slave 1. It would be nice to think it was a hint to maybe getting a system scale version. Quote
HawkLord Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I'm glad the SDCC set is not made of exclusive material. This set looks pretty cool, but I don't know what I would use it for or how well I could display it. It'd be great to think that these are hints on future sets. Maybe yoda's hut makes some appearance in TFA, which could prompt it to be relevant to Lego again. Quote
atreyu2112 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I'm just glad there's no exclusive minifigures. Quote
namioik Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I'm just glad there's no exclusive minifigures. There never was for Star Wars (if you only count sdcc) Quote
ISDAvenger Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Are you sure about that? There never was for Star Wars (if you only count sdcc) Quote
namioik Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Are you sure about that? There has been only mini builds with rehashed figs from what I can recall. We will never know for future SDCC but if history tells us anything there won't be an exclusive figure for Star Wars. But hey what do I know? I'm just a Lego enthusiast Quote
L-space Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Have the instructions for the SDCC set been recreated or revearsed engineered already? Edited June 19, 2015 by L-space Quote
