trooperdavinfelth Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 It'd be awesome! Although they would have to do some serious damage to Vader's helmet! I can see a new torso, possibly but not probably new legs, and of course a slightly blasted-away helmet. Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 There are still one or two direct to consumer exclusives planned, like a Target or Toys R Us (though we know what TRU's is...) similar to the 7283 offering. This means that TLC still have a surprise or two for 2008. What is not a surprise is that those exclusives will not be EU. So something from one trilogy or the other.Rather than speculate, I will report back when these exclusives are firmed up. This are great news! Thanks, DJSaulTNutz! Some more sets based on episode 4 to 6 would be very nice. I'd like a lot of minifigs and stuff TLC hasn't released yet - not only "re-releasings" of sets which have been already there for many times (e. g. X-Wing, Y-Wing, B-Wing, A-Wing or Snowspeeder). But let's be surprised what will come in 2008 ... Quote

But let's be surprised what will come in 2008 ... Good point there! An X-wing would be an absolute last-resort. A Y-wing? Too soon. A B-wing? Probably not much they can do more than a new model. An A-wing? Same as B-wing. Snowspeeder? They already have one in the Hoth Base, but as for an individual set, crazy! I wish for a Tie Defender, as they were used in Epi. 6. Colonel Jendon and Captain Yorr piloted two of em' in Onyx Squadron during the Battle of Endor. The two also flew Vader's shuttle. A good EU set would be a V-wing, I.E., from Rogue Squadron. But enough speccing, here's a query to DJ: Are there any new molds whatsoever? Except from the Rogue Shadow, of course, which will probably have em' for Vader and the Apprentice, although the latter will probably have a hood. Is that right? Quote
WookieeWarrior Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 I imagine that we might get another $100ish big ship in minifig style. They've done it with the ISD and the Republic cruiser. I'd love to see one of Padme's Royal Starcruisers. Quote

I'd love to see one of Padme's Royal Starcruisers. I was watching EPI a few nights ago and I kept thinking to myself: When will LEGO make a minifig scale Starcruiser finally!! Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Yeah, TLC has made a bunch of great sets demonstrating their articulation in such things, but they need to demonstrate their artic' with the big stuff, and making it fit minfigs! At least 1 Royal starship is due by 2011! Quote
WookieeWarrior Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Yeah. We've got to get the Royal Starcruiser bandwagon going. LEGO does listen, and if we're loud enough, we'll get it soon enough. I think for them to do it right, it has to be in chrome and if they do that, I know I would pay for the price difference. That would be such a beautiful set. And it would include a Padme. Forget cowbell, we need more Padme! Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Finally, EU sets. I've waited so long for this joyful day! Quote
Clonie Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I think for them to do it right, it has to be in chrome and if they do that, I know I would pay for the price difference. That would be such a beautiful set.I'm with ya. *y* Quote
WookieeWarrior Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I'm with ya. *y* Plus, because LEGO gets these pieces chromed in large quantities, the price increase shouldn't be that large (several dollars, at the most). That band wagon is rollin'! Quote
Clonie Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Except the parts used would be quite large... hmm... I think it'd be about $10-$20 more. (AUD) Edited July 5, 2007 by Clonie Quote
dunamis Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 You have to figure we will be getting a minifig Rebel Blockade Runner (similar to the 6211 Star Destroyer) at some point. Plus, that will be their chance to get us the rebel infantry we have been asking for... Quote

Plus, that will be their chance to get us the rebel infantry we have been asking for... i agree, thats one of the most likley.so lets all hope for a rebel blocade runner and queens naboo starship. not EU on! Quote
WookieeWarrior Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Yeah, I think the RBR is burner somewhere. No way that LEGO ends the line without one of the most iconic ships in minifig form with some of the most iconic soldiers. Don't get me wrong, though, I'd love to see them make SW sets long after 2011. There are so many great sets that they haven't made yet after almost 10 years, and with new shows on the horizon, I'm sure there will be plenty of memorable moments begging to get LEGO-ized. Quote
Sir von Lego Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 ...and queens naboo starship. Hi, thats a ver y good idea! The most important thing is that we get more NEW characters from the films. There are soo many important characters (Amidala, General Ackbar.......) they MUST include in a set. And there are so many possibilities for new starships, too. Let`s hope that we will see more new sets than re-released sets in the last years! Otherwise it would be boring to see a third or fourth AT-AT, MTT and so on. greetings Hendrik Quote
iamded Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I thought the Rebel Blockade Runner was the other set released when the Hoth Base is released? Ohhh. That's the Republic Cruiser. So we need a minifig scaled RBR. Quote
Grand Moff Viceroy Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 the royal starship would not come out because the chrome is expensive and it would look bad in gray. Quote
DJSaulTNutz Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Ok, So I've had a squint at the Rogue Shadow fighter set's minifigs.... You get 3 in total. I don't know the character names of two, but you do get a scarred Anakin head which seems to be the same scarred face design on light gray head from the 7251 Vader Transformation set, no vader helmet seems to be included .....of course per the story of the game. Next is the all black female imperial looking officer, shown in the actionfigure pic link a few posts back...with a black kepi hat which is simple and cool, can't tell if it is a new face design... Finally, is this bare armed lightsaber wielding character whose name I do not know shown in the center of this picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Swforce.png Its very cool to see these EU figs, other than the Shadow Troopers we've seen already that come with the Tie Crawler..... Awesome Lego!!! DJ Edited July 5, 2007 by DJSaulTNutz Quote
CopMike Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 *wub* *wub* *wub* ! Thanks DJSaulTNutz - awesome *y*! EU On copmike Quote

I don't know the character names of two, but you do get a scarred up Anakin on a Vader body, which seems to be the scarred face design off the fleshie head from the 7251 Vader Transformation set, but this is on a light gray head now....No vader helmet of course per the story of the game.

Awesome Lego!!! DJ Sounds awesome! 1 comment, though: I thought Vader's apprentice was to be included! It is his ship, and I don't think he would be restrained as per game-not-released because we have already seen him here. Anyways, I hope to see more Force Unleashed sets, at least with the cool new stormtroopers. Quote

This isnt 100% confirmed, but i think you will find that the guy with the 2 lightsabres (the one that lego will produce) is in fact 's apprentice. Rumor has it that hes forced somehow to serve *vader* , so you see the ship will have the apprentice just not in the clothes that we thought. Anyway its all good and thanks for the info again DJ ;-) *y* Quote

Nice! I like the whole 'corruption' thing, because you never really see Vader corrupt a Jedi in full. I hope it's good! Quote
Autobob Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) I thought the Rebel Blockade Runner was the other set released when the Hoth Base is released?Ohhh. That's the Republic Cruiser. So we need a minifig scaled RBR. i made the same mistake initially as did some other people i know. i think its just that we all really wanted the RBR to go with our star destroyers and so we all just read it wrong. :-) i like the cruiser and i probably will buy it, if for nothing else then for the fleshie Quoi gon, but the blockade runner would have been much better.

iamded Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 You could always get the UCS Rebel Blockade Runner, if you can find it and have @&%#loads of money to spare. ('Scuse the profanity.) :-P Quote
