Darth Mallet Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Seeing all the picture in clearer quality has made very excited. I know things are still preliminary but now we have a good idea of how the sets will look. With that said, the majority of the sets look like the builds are basic. I'm having a hard time thinking of how to explain it but something seems off. The front of the boxes must surely change when they are made official Take the Microfighters as an example - the vulture droid has a standard droid seated but on the side/top of the box he is a Droid pilot. Same with the republic gunship, on the front it's a standard clone but on the side/top he has the yellow helmet. Then the biggest one is the ARC-170 with the pilot being a rebellion pilot but on the side/top it's clearly a more grey clone pilot Edited September 16, 2014 by Darth Mallet Quote
wyrm12 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Umm, sorry but they're not showing up. Says they're deleted. Is there any other ways to view the prelims? EDIT: Found a gallery linked from hothbricks: http://imgur.com/a/EhwGw#0 That AAT is TINY, but I'm looking forward to the non prelim pictures of the ITT and Shadowtroopers. Thanks for finding the new link! Just what I was looking for too. Quote
Clone 01354 Productions Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Did anyone else notice the new Battle Droid arms? I know I pointed this out before, but the BDs seem to utilize the newer skeleton arms, like from the Rancor Pit, but in tan. Is it likely to appear in the set, or do you think that this is just the box art? Quote
Jdurg Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I'm actually kind of happy that there aren't too many sets that scream out "BUY ME NOW!!!!!" Aside from the UCS Slave I, of course. Having come out of my Dark Ages earlier this year, I have spent a LOT of money on Star Wars Lego. We're talking multiple thousands. (Having been making good financial decisions over the past few years, I had the money to spare and figured there's no point in saving up money if you don't use it). I could actually use a break from spending hundreds of dollars each month. This past summer wave of sets was very money consuming as I really wanted an AT-AT, the Cantina, as well as the ISD. Being able to take a small break for a while is a very good thing. Heh. Quote
Galactic13 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 So!!!!!!!! The Jedi Starfighter is from the micro series!!!!!!! And the Disney logo is at the bottom of the packaging. I hope that is only because the boxes are Rebels themed. They don't do that with the Marvel sets, I hope they don't have the logo on the Ep 7 sets. Quote

Artanis I Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Ha... Whoops... I'd only just stripped a Gandalf figure for parts and realised I'd not actually seen much of the torso due to his beard and it was in my head when I saw that pic and I'd have sworn it was the same... which it obviously isn't! Ninja's it is!! Good, because I originally thought it was ninja. Quote
Rob1321 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 What series/movie/tv show are the Shadow Troopers based off of? Quote
The Executive Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Ah man I sure hope they make the senate commando troopers, such a great concept. Those lego stud shooters have grown on me and the multi shooter looks really cool. I'm really upset that the ITT is going to be rebels, those stormie faces look so awful. Also, the AAT is really tiny but its actually a pretty good deal for $25-$30. I'm pretty pleased with most of the battle packs so far but I'm still really hoping for a 501st battle pack in the near future. Quote
RaginSpartan86 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) What series/movie/tv show are the Shadow Troopers based off of? It's based off of the first The Force Unleashed video game. Edited September 17, 2014 by RaginSpartan86 Quote

Galactic13 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Now where do those Shadow Guards come from. I have never seen them before. Quote
GallardoLU Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Now where do those Shadow Guards come from. I have never seen them before. also from Force Unleashed Quote

Also, there will be no 501st BP, since they only do three every wave. And while people are bringing up TFU, I actually liked it quite a bit. It had some really great designs that never got translated to Lego: Riot Troops, a GOOD Rogue Shadow, Bounty Hunter Landing Craft, etc. They only gave us an undersized, ugly Rogue Shadow. Quote

I'm pretty sure the ITT battle pack has Rebels printed on the bottom. Could be wrong though. https://mobedal.wordpress.com/2014/09/15/leaked-2015-lego-sets/#jp-carousel-246 I'm newish here so I hope I don't get in trouble for the link. It was posted earlier I believe in another thread. Scroll down to the Star Wars sets and the ITT clearly shows "Rebels" on the box. Quote
montgocloud Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 There's something off about that speeder bike set... They look so bulky. Also, is it just me or does the box art seem a bit wonky? Especially the AAT and Anakin's Starfighter. I love the AT-DP and the Stormtroopers battlepack. I'll also get the TIE Advanced if only for the Inquisitor... I really want to like the Azure Angel. The Clone Wars microseries was a great show and I've always wanted to see LEGO make an incarnation of it. But right now, like the speeder bikes, it looks off as well. Hopefully those two sets and the packaging will be fixed before the wave hits the shelves. Quote
GallardoLU Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 They only gave us an undersized, ugly Rogue Shadow. very true, though to be fair to Lego, the Rogue Shadow is 65 meters long, that's 20 more than Millennium Falcon.... so getting it at Minifig scale was never going to happen. I've wanted to do a large build for quite a long time. maybe I tackle Rogue Shadow.... (58inches long at minifig scale, that's longer than the SSD, and wider than UCS MF.... oh boy! ) Quote

ChiefPie Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Well as you can see the ITT in the rebels trailers it will probably be rebel stormies. Quote
Flieger Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I'll also get the TIE Advanced if only for the Inquisitor... The included officer could also be very nice, especially since he seems to have the officer's cap, which so far only comes with the Star Destroyer. Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Well as you can see the ITT in the rebels trailers it will probably be rebel stormies. Darn... Oh well they don't look that bad... Quote
Peasantseverywhere Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I think I'm the only one hoping its the rebel stormies haha Quote

I was commenting on how the actual sets look. None of the sets look like the builds are complex, they look basic. Edited September 17, 2014 by Sir_Basil_Ashton Quote
