June 16, 200717 yr Well at least he has a chrome lightsaber...and that speeder is...*wub* The rest of it doesn't look so hot, and now I'm worried about the front part slipping off unintentionally since I down see a mechanism to secure it. meh, parts pack
June 16, 200717 yr Check out this link looks like a much better model than we first though :) that speeder bike is a big improvement :D Edited June 16, 200717 yr by Big Pete
June 16, 200717 yr I agree that it looks better than we first thought. I love the printed pieces used.
June 16, 200717 yr Nice find TFBF :-) . I always liked the look of this set and now we have good pictures i am more that happy to part with my hard earned cash for it :-D .
June 16, 200717 yr There's something different about that Maul fig that I can't quite put my finger on... Or my foot... In fact, any part of my body really... *wacko* TK
June 16, 200717 yr There's something different about that Maul fig that I can't quite put my finger on...Or my foot... In fact, any part of my body really... *wacko* TK I think it is the face.
June 16, 200717 yr Author I think it is the face. To me it looks like the eyes are the problem, they look too big or something. :-/ compare: original maul new maul Edited June 16, 200717 yr by Two-Faced Batman Fan
June 16, 200717 yr Hmm, It looks to me that the figure is altogether too bright. In color, I mean. It looks shiny, almost Jedi-ee. But the original looks more dark, more Sith-ee. I think the Infiltrator follows the idea of Grievous's Starfighter. It's breakable, grey, streamlined, and has lots of big bricks that have lots of stud-free smoothness.
June 16, 200717 yr To me it looks like the eyes are the problem, they look too big or something. :-/compare: original maul new maul On the old fig, the eyes are white with an orange/yellow pupil, but the new feg has yellow eyes with a black pupil. The old face is more detailed, so it's actually way cooler >:-) .
June 17, 200717 yr Wow, I haven't seen this set before, the only Lego Sith Infiltrator I've seen is the original one. All studdy and what-not. This one's alright, although I don't like the way they use lots of big studless bricks. Although I like the way the speeder bike fits in the back. :-/
June 17, 200717 yr INdeed many tks for the link ;-) I do agree that it looks better than we originally thought it would ;-) Still its way underscaled, but what the heck hehe The bike is sweet by=ut I really think its retarded for Maul to pilot the ship sitting on his bloody bike *wacko* X-D And I'm not really covinced by the spy droid space |-/ *yoda*
June 18, 200717 yr Wow mauls face sure is different, seems lego have removed the old sith eyes and gone for a far more friendly looking sith |-/ Even though the ship looks better than i first thought its still a big let down, if only TLC had made the ship bigger and sorted the wings out. If they had then we could of had a really great SI.... :'-(
June 18, 200717 yr Wow mauls face sure is different, seems lego have removed the old sith eyes and gone for a far more friendly looking sith |-/ Are you sure its not the same head ? Hum, need comparison pics now hehe Even though the ship looks better than i first thought its still a big let down, if only TLC had made the ship bigger and sorted the wings out. If they had then we could of had a really great SI.... :'-( Indeed, but I think TLC is reserving this for a re-re-release with a soft plastic spiked Maul 8-
June 18, 200717 yr Yes the eyes look alot different from that pic, they lack the yellow and red that was on the first one. I would love a spiked head maul but after all this time i think thats doubtful.
June 18, 200717 yr I'm getting this mostly because I was missing the first darth maul mf. :-P and if there is one must have char from the prelude episodes, you know it's darth maul! If they make a special soft rubber hair mold, that's even better!
June 18, 200717 yr If they make a special soft rubber hair mold, that's even better! It wound have to be quite small or maul's head would look enormous :-D .
June 18, 200717 yr Thanks for the link to those pictures! I can not say that I like the model, it looks a bit cheap and <insert that tiresome argument> with those large pieces on the front end and the fold-out wings in the back. I have the original version and I have to say that while other sets (MTT Naboo fighter) might have improved in the re-release this set has taken a few steps (giant leaps) back on the improving scale. Where, by the way, are the Sith Probe Droids, in the old version depicted with black mf heads and antenna's? It looks smaller than the old version, am I right?
June 18, 200717 yr Where, by the way, are the Sith Probe Droids, in the old version depicted with black mf heads and antenna's? They can be seen in this pic: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/UHAUHA/7663/7663-032.jpg
June 18, 200717 yr They can be seen in this pic:http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/UHAUHA/7663/7663-032.jpg Ah they are there, thanks, I just missed them. No restyling here I see :-D
June 19, 200717 yr You think it's worse than the original, simonwillems? I just don't understand...the old one looks like a semi-triangular piece of paper with a TIE Advanced stuck to the back. Would you mind elaborating?
June 19, 200717 yr I might get three cause Bricklink Mauls are waaaay overpriced and I always like having the option of glueing one of them and throwing it on teh ground. >:-) Might even try to make spikes. Still I can imagin better a brick-built probe droid.
