deskp Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I usually get my advent calendar around Easter. I think I'm going to first buy the FO transporter. Or does anyone think I should get something else. Transporter is the buisness! get that yes. Quote
Lego Fett Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Transporter is the buisness! get that yes. The Transporter looks like a great all-round set. It has great figs, good look, and functions. Definetly a day one pickup. Quote
ChiefPie Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Thanks! I will definitely pick it up first. Quote
Richpepperell Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I usually get my advent calendar around Easter. I think I'm going to first buy the FO transporter. Or does anyone think I should get something else. The FO transporter will be in my basket too - the minifigure selection is brilliant and I really like the amphibious landing craft vibe - although a lot of people are not so keen. Also probably going to pick up the x-wing and Reys Speeder. Quote
Squarefoot_Calrissian Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Hey everyone! First time poster! I get paid on Thursday so needless to say my check will be going to TFA sets! For right now I'll be getting Rey's speeder and the advent calendar and one more set. I haven't decided between Poe's X-Wing or the FO Tie.. Decisions decisions.. Quote

Well, if i usually have to choose, i see which craft appeals more, then i see a review to choose. And i evaluate which side i need more of. Quote
fire117 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 The LEGO Star Wars website is down at the moment... We could be seeing an overhaul of the site to promote the new sets! Most likely. I wonder when it'll be back up and running. Quote

For right now I'll be getting Rey's speeder and the advent calendar and one more set. I haven't decided between Poe's X-Wing or the FO Tie.. Decisions decisions.. The Poe Xwing review really put it into perspective. $10 more for Poe set and 200 more pieces plus you get bb8. It comes down to which design you prefer ultimately but poes xwing is the better buy with price per piece count. Transporter is the buisness! get that yes. Need to see the review first. Quote

You do have a point there but I think I'm gonna wait for someone to review the FO Tie and then make my choice.. If the sets sell out by then I'll at least have Rey's Speeder!

Nokturn Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) You do have a point there but I think I'm gonna wait for someone to review the FO Tie and then make my choice.. Someone already has reviewed it: Granted, it's not a very good review by any means, but it's there. Edited September 2, 2015 by Nokturn Quote
benjiv1 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Another image of Kylo's Shuttle. Back looks very comparable to to the shuttle in the trailer. Quote
Fives Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Saw this image and was gonna post it, but not to point out how it looks like the V shaped shuttle in the trailer. You can obviously see that there is no actual mechanism on the ship that would even allow the wings to fold down or in any direction. Its just one big solid thing. Quote
Squarefoot_Calrissian Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Someone already has reviewed it: Granted, it's not a very good review by any means, but it's there. Don't know how I missed that but thanks!! Now I can make the choice by Friday! Quote
GuyDudeMan27 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 That image proves that the wings on the Lego version is accurate. They retract up and down, not out. I really don't know what's up with the whole wing thing. Maybe the trailer wasn't final? Quote
Lynx Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Saw this image and was gonna post it, but not to point out how it looks like the V shaped shuttle in the trailer. You can obviously see that there is no actual mechanism on the ship that would even allow the wings to fold down or in any direction. Its just one big solid thing. To me, it clearly shows that the wings can be folded down. There's an image to the left, pointing to the upper parts of the 'wings' and even a description: "retracting upper stabiliser". The only feature present in LEGO's model and not visible to me here are the two ventral flaps on each wing. Quote

The only feature present in LEGO's model and not visible to me here are the two ventral flaps on each wing. I think "retracting upper stabilizer" would be referring that the wings themselves retract, as in pull back into themselves, not fold out. I think that ship in the trailer is a different one or they just changed it. Shouldn't be that hard to do as it's probably CGI Quote
CM4Sci Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Click here to see the Commemorative Brick that will be given out for the Force Friday event thing. Quote
Nokturn Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Click here to see the Commemorative Brick that will be given out for the Force Friday event thing. That looks absolutely amazing. Can't wait! Quote
Archer Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I know that many of these sets will end up on back order pretty quickly, but does anybody expect them to disappear entirely before the ~year and a half were used to Quote
Jacob_9821 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I know that many of these sets will end up on back order pretty quickly, but does anybody expect them to disappear entirely before the ~year and a half were used to Since a majority of these vehicles will probably also be in Episode 8 and 9.. no Quote

I really don't know what's up with the whole wing thing. Maybe the trailer wasn't final? Again I am going back to what I saw a while ago-Disney didn't even want to put out a trailer but JJ insisted. That being said, there were bound to be changes from that point up until now. It wouldn't surprise me that they had changed the design of a CGI ship to do something different from months ago until now. I believe Lego has it right and we are just seeing a final version. Quote
Rayskull Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Click here to see the Commemorative Brick that will be given out for the Force Friday event thing. Perfect... I'm getting the two speeders for sure now. I really wanted one of the normal storm troopers... OH no its just a big Brick :( Don't know how I missed that but thanks!! Now I can make the choice by Friday! would be a good review if the lighting wasn't horrififc Edited September 2, 2015 by Rayskull Quote

Do we know that clip is CGI and not practical effects models? I mean, wasn't that the big deal over the past year, about how they were returning to practical effects as much as possible? Has anyone mentioned when or where that Threepio polybag will be? I've been reading all over and don't see anything locking it down. Quote

They have talked the pracital up way in a way where they set themselves up for some scrutiny they cant really stand. making these kidsn of scenes with miniatures will not look as good as cg these days.

Fire spray 31 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Yeah there still will be a ton of CG in TFA. Sorry its 2015. Quote
