Venkefedo Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Hopefully not, are Comic-Con sets known to have exclusive minifigures inside? Not really, AFAIK... but do we even know R2's head will be printed like that? We've only seen artwork on a box, not actual photos of the minifig. If it is printed that way, tho, I imagine he'll show up in a TFA set or a Winter Wave set with that printing. Quote
aaroncb Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 guessing all the commotion over plasma is over David halls video? (solid brix) Quote
TheWolffe Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 It is a bit strange R2's head is displayed on the box in both images with an angled print. Hopefully it's just the box art. Imagine that for an exclusive figure. An R2-D2 looking slightly to the left! Quote
Nokturn Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 guessing all the commotion over plasma is over David halls video? (solid brix) Yep, video's been taken down now, though. I've got a mirror of it on Dailymotion if anyone's interested. On a semi-related note, I'm rather excited to see what TFA sets LEGO will reveal at SDCC. Quote
Fives Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Yep, video's been taken down now, though. I've got a mirror of it on Dailymotion if anyone's interested. On a semi-related note, I'm rather excited to see what TFA sets LEGO will reveal at SDCC. Part of me hopes that LEGO will release hi-res images of all seven sets, rather than display one. But my guess is we'll only see Rey's Speeder and maybe Kylo Ren's Shuttle (because of the leak of the instruction manuel, but also because it seems that Kylo Ren is being pushed hard by the marketing of the film, they want us to wonder about him).

geobrush Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Photo of a mexican Lego sales facebook group. You can see the new snowtrooper in the right side. The black trooper in the left side looks new too. Edited July 1, 2015 by geobrush Quote
General Magma Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Oh darn, those troopers look wicked. I really hope we'll be able to army-build these efficiently in the near future, very nice looking figures. Quote
General Magma Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I think that black trooper is a TIE pilot. It seems so. Quote
Nokturn Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Absolutely loving that snowtrooper. Looks exactly like I thought it would! Quote
General Magma Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I assume the final snowtrooper will have a white kama as well - that would really complete the look of it. Quote
Nokturn Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I assume the final snowtrooper will have a white kama as well - that would really complete the look of it. Agreed. It'll likely look similar to the custom trooper from Minifigs4u. Quote
bungeshea Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Hopefully not, are Comic-Con sets known to have exclusive minifigures inside? FBTB contacted LEGO about exclusive figures in the SDCC sets. They say that the only exclusive SDCC figures will be those that are given out individually (Captain America, Arsenal, etc); there are no unique figures included in the sets. http://www.fbtb.net/...are-not-unique/ Edited July 1, 2015 by bungeshea Quote
Tariq j Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Cheers guys hopefully we will see that R2 in another set, as far as that Snowtrooper goes... Its excellent! Looking forward to collecting lots of these. Quote
deskp Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Photo of a mexican Lego sales facebook group. You can see the new snowtrooper in the right side. The black trooper in the left side looks new too. Got a link? someone should ask the user for mroe pictures of those figs specificaly. Quote
Slurpifier Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 That new Snowtrooper looks very detailed, but very nice, too. Hopefully TLG releases a battlepack with both the First Order Stormtroopers and Snowtroopers, so we can amass big armies of them. I'm just pondering if there is going to be a First Order Scout Trooper in The Force Awakens. Although, it does seem less likely as time ticks on. Hopefully an updated one appears in the next film.

geobrush Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) I ssked the seller for close up pictures but his out of town and is unable to do it. Edited July 1, 2015 by geobrush Quote
Robianco Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 After looking at that SDCC box I'd say the R2 head turn is just how the CGI render was set up so that R2 looked at the 'camera' while having him stand at 3/4 view. Quote
Wotan135 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) It seems so. *snip* He looks like Soontir Fel :) Edited July 2, 2015 by Lobot Please don't quote images, thanks :-) Quote

Really looking forward to that prospect, the Snowtrooper minifigure looks epic and the idea of being able to collect them in a battlepack in January is such an exciting prospect. The Tie Pilot looks fairly well done as well, but because of it's colour I can't seem to make out much detail. Quote

Bolingbroke Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 gah. i see theyre still insisting on ending the leg printing abruptly at the knee. i would honestly prefer no leg printing at all. Quote
deskp Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 gah. i see theyre still insisting on ending the leg printing abruptly at the knee. i would honestly prefer no leg printing at all. No its jsut about them doing it artfully, wich for some reason they don't =/ Quote
