That's cause it was made for children.



I think the proto pics were back a few pages, before ToyFair.





-S82-

Someone posted them a while back. No farther than 5-6 pages back.

Well Echo Base is a little bit less than I expected, but at least that means it'll cost a little less, too. I guess I still would've liked to see 2-3 more rebel soldiers, but I guess I should be happy that there are more now at all. Luke's unique gray snowspeeder is also a nice touch.

What I figure, though, is that you could combine this base (mostly an entrance and hangar) with something like the Rebel Control Center that came with the first B-Wing (possibly back from 2000), and then you have a good base.

Exactly, I don't really mind it since I am a kid [older than the age range but whatever] I'm just saying it does get old for me. But it suits the age range it was made for well.

I can't find pics of the AT-AT in the last 6 pages. Could someone repost them?

-Master of Ice and Sonic

Yeah, here you go. I guess I was wrong, it was farther than 6 pages...

I HOPE it is just a prototype, the legs look horrible!

anyone see the MTT commercial. Its cool. I'll try and find a way to upload it too Google Video.

-ZotS

That's a prototype? I looks like a really, REALLY bad MOC to me.

Did you even read Tilius' post?

He clearly says something like this. So it's NOT a prototype. Or a set for that matter

whoa guys, I went to Target today, they had one Slave I left and it was $35! so of course I got it, and its a pretty sweet set (especialy the shiny IG-88)

Was this in Canada? Thats so lucky!

-ZotS

Actually, this is the prototype that was posted on StarWars.com. So the set will look very similar to the one in that pic.

Now, those were sets to give the idea of what it would look like. It's a pre-viz, if you will.

...Am I the only one here who thinks the new AT-AT isn't that bad?

-K-

If we are biulding on that, it is a prototype. If it is going to look like it, then it is a preliminary design, or a PROTOTYPE. For example, when I draw, I like to get some beggining sketches down. Then I sorta work on those until I get a final.

What do we call those sketches?

Prototypes.

Anyways,I hope there is NO motor... that would ruin the whole set and take up all the space in the troop compartement. I'd much rather have space than a motor.

Titanium, that poll showed many different designs, no doubt created by LEGO employees themselves.

But, as we know, LEGO employees build stuff for fun, as can be seen here.

My bet is that Lucasfilm Online just grabbed the photos of a few models that LEGO put together and use them for the poll.

I could be wrong, but I'm expecting the AT-AT to be spiffed up before release.

I know that nobody pays attention to me because their jealous of my good looks, but I found (on my quest for AT-AT pics) a list of UCS sets this year and it appears that there are THREE UCS Star Wars sets coming out this year!! (and a meter tall Eiffel Tower but that's beside the point) so I am almost positive that we will see a #10180 Republic Gunship this year.

I guess... And I'm with you. I hope they make some improvements.

So maybe that wasn't a prototype and we will get one that is halfway decent.

If the first UCS is Millenium Falcon, and the second might be LAAT/i, what d'you think the third will be?

-Master of Ice and Sonic

Has anyone found the new Y-Wing in their stores? I checked four stores and none of them have it...

-Lekongu Toa of Air and Lightning

Nope, its going to have a motor.

-ZotS

Not really. It's growing on me. It's smaller than the original so... Mini me: one command AT-AT and a few smaller ones for support. That'd be interesting.

Not sure if anyone's seen this commercial yet: EDIT: never mind, it's not working properly...

Anyhoo, it's about the MTT, and features a lot of droids and a few naboo fighters. Also, it appears that the MTT rolls. Don't want to set it on any shelves.

The Y-Wing's at my local TRU and Target, so might just be yours.

The third will be #10178 Walking AT-AT.

nope it was in the sweet U.S. of A.

republic gunship UCS, awww, I wanted figs, and I wanted afordabiliy

Well there isn't going to be a UCS Republic Gunship, so no need to worry there

How can you be so sure? It hasn't been confirmed
that there won't be one.

Has it?

-S82-

Yes, a gunship with figs would be greatly appreciated.

UCS are expensive with no playability. So I'm crossing my fingers for figs!

Nice find with those set pictures, Tilius.

The Hoth Base itself is a bit disappointing, but I think all of the rare (and peachy!) minifigs make up for that. And the Radiant VII is just awesome.

One thing, though; there is absolutely no way that the Hoth Base could be 545 pieces. One look at the picture shows it. That set looks like it could only pack, at the most, 300 pieces. Either the other 245 must be hiding, or that's an inaccurate count.

Hello, everyone.
I just joined a LSW forum as Threepio, (hope to see some of you there!) and I made a banner for myself there. For BZP, it could use some resizing, but that wouldn't be too hard to fix.



Hope you like it!

What makes you so sure? Lego's finally got some brains this year, and to prove my point read the following:

Lego clones: sell for a crazy amount on ebay and thus: #7655 Clone Battle Pack

Lego droids: same story, different set: #7654 Droid Battle Pack

Lego MTT: $150+ on ebay we get #7660 MTT

Lego Millenium Falcon: $200+ on ebay and we get #10179 Millenium Falcon

Lego AT-AT $250+ on ebay and we get #10178 Walking AT-AT

Lego Sith Infiltrateor: $50+ on ebay and #7663 Sith Infiltrator

Lego Obi-Wan's Starfighter: sells for CRAZY amount on ebay ($100+) and #7661 Jedi Starfighter

The list goes on and on, and the Republic Gunship sells for $200+ so do you really think that there won't be one?

Well, I really hope so.

I missed out on the other one unfortunately...

Look at the first pic! The X-Wing has a mighty nice Maquette...

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2440891

Now I really want it!

That's crazy! They just added a maquette thing and gave it a new product number!

But I didn't say it wasn't cool. Takes me back o the days when I'd walk into a toy store and see the giant minifig building sets...

I really didn't want the X-Wing before, but now there is a reason to get it.

Hmmm... Shall I get another one of those X-Wings?

XD

We haven't seen the AT-AT yet. The picture you mention is only a very rough version of the set.

And guys, no need to question sam89's sources. He knows his stuff he does.

The Hoth Base set really doesn't look like it could hold 545 pieces, nor the Radiant VII 919. Are you sure the piece counts are accurate?

~DudeNuva~

Please don't double post, TD. Use the edit.



That giant Luke does look pretty cool. I wish it was like that old

minifig set, but it looks like it's made from one piece.



-S82-

Sorry Snoopy.

I won't do it again. I thought someone had psoted after me.

It would be awesome if the maquette fig was removable and posable. Unlikely though.

Yah, it is pretty cool isn't it?

-ZotS

I hope they make another AFFORDABLE Millenium Falcon. That would be nice, with new and updated pieces.

Plus a Genosian Arena set would be awesome, with a Reek, Nexu, and Acklay.

Oh, and did someone say a few pages back there would be a Tantive IV set? Is this true?

I remember reading somewhere that the DV and Stormtrooper maquettes had removalble/exhangable heads. Dunno if it's the same with the Luke one.

Well, I just got back, but I went to the LEGO Discovery centre (or center)! That's the one with the giant Tahu and Sea serpent! Sadly, all the sets I didn't have were kinda... err... big... Vader's TIE UCS, Sandcrawler and UCS ISD... The later I went to a Toys R Us and I saw the new X-wing! But it costs 50$ and my sister had already gone on a dozen shopping sprees so I couldn't get it, and got Starwars Risk OT edition instead.

The walking AT-AT might be a bit... dissapointing, to say the least. I hate things that are completely technic (Excluding Bionicle) and I thing the motor will take up almost all of the back. Not to mention, it will probably be WAY under-scale... Doesn't sound like something I'd buy.

An affordable MF:



A Minifig Scale Genosian Arena =



But we can only keep on dreaming...



I don't think that there's going to be a Tantive IV,

but I'm not sure.



-S82-

Yeah... a Arena would be awesome...

All those Genosians... with Dooku and Jango Fett...

Maybe next year.

Well, I have a bit of money saved up for the ISD, but on Brickset's reviews it says it is really fragile.

Is this true? And is it worth the money?

If you mean the $100 ISD then yes on both accounts. I think it's great and probably worth the money, but it's floor is pretty fragile, so just watch it. If ur picking it up and making it fly or something, I'd hold it by the very front (which isn't floor) and the very back (where the floor's connected 2 the rest of it, and probably at it's sturdiest). LEGO, you did good on it, but an extra layer of plates on the bottom would've been nice. And if you get it, also just keep an eye on how tightly the bridge is stuck down.

Nah, not very fragile. Nothing like some other sets whos names slip me right now, but it's a little fragile I guess... it's DEFINITLY worth it.

Okay, Thanx.

It looks really good, and the figs are awesome and plentiful.

What fig would you want Lego to make the most? I'd like a Bossk.

I would love a Plo Koon fig, personally. A Mon Calamari, Quarren, Bith and Ithorian would also be great.
