Yah, I think the helmets are okaytoo, I don't see anything wrong with them. but we need better pics first.

Oops. 2008 stuff. Never mind.

I've entered the 14 karrot gold C-3P0 contest!
When the results come out my name is Noah Quintero.
What do you think are the odds?

You shouldn't post your real name.

But the odds are like what? 1 in 10 000? Hope you win though.

Edited

The new sets are amazing. Love the new Vader.

The new sets are really awesome. I really like the AT Ap. But I'm not sure we should discuss them?

-ZotS

ALERT: Leaked images of star wars sets have been posted on the web. Remember for no discussion about them until January, When they come out.

You know how the official ILC is trash? Look at THIS one! Soooooo much better it's craaaaazzzzy!

The ILC from lego is actually pretty good. I'd say the battle pack set things are trash.

-ZotS

Well I've got it, and I regret purchasing it... As for the "dropship" thing, I'll probably put it in my extra piece box. It appears to have some useful pieces, and the shadow stormie is a good feature...

Well, Shadow Troopers are also available in that TIE Crawler, which by the way, is it available yet?

-ZotS

TC isn't available in stores as far I know...I think it's available on S@H. The ILC isn't the worst set, but it's not the best. If I had a choice between Imperial Inspection and ILC, I think I would choose II:

II:
Pros:
Four stormies with printed legs...the only set with printed stormie legs!!!
Only set with gray Palps...the other ones have yellow, which looks horrible next to the gray
Two Imp captains, Royal Guards, and Vader...for a grand total of 10 MFs
Shuttle is easily customizable and is closer to scale than the ILC
Small command center which is pretty good. If you don't like it, you can destroy for MOCs
Cons: Shuttle body is too small compared to the cockpit
Imp captains have standard smiles
No shuttle pilot
Megaphones
Hard to get

ILC:
Pros:
Looks like the actual movie ILC, except much, much smaller
Easily customizable
Five MFs: four stormies (I refuse to call them sandtroopers. A pauldron does not make you a sandtrooper; it raises your rank) and TIE pilot
Cool dropship feature
New guns
Can get at MSRP

Cons:
ILC only holds four stormies, as well as the TIE pilot(???)
Why is there a TIE pilot???
Where are the "sandtroopers'" cooling backpacks?
Can break if not handled properly
Overpriced
So, I'd go with II.

PS Karzahni has a lot in common with Darth Krayt.

I have 'em both, and I just wanted to point out that the smilies on the captains aren't standard. They have eyebrows, different eyes, and a different size smile. I think they should have scowls though... The captains should actually have black hands, so I took the black hands from my severely misprinted stormie from the ILC and gave them to the officer. He looks much better now! And as for the TIE Pilot, on the box he's called "Imperial Pilot."

Oh i saw the Tc a week ago. It is cool looking The shadow troopers are all black.

My TRU has most of the new sets. I didn't buy them though because their expensive and I usualy get sets for Christmas.

I am soooo wanting the Republic Cruiser for Christmas...

Green Astromech Droid...

Actually, I was able to fit seven stormtroopers , a snowtrooper , and the snowtroopers gun(the one from 4504) in the ILC.
But , I did take out the blue chairs. Oh, and on that note on the rebreather , they are really easy build ,all you need is a
1x2x1/3 brick ,two lighsaber hilts and two tiles with a clip.

I recently bought the Sith Infiltrator at Wal-Mart.I think it is really awesome!Well worth the $30!

Erm... What? The LEGO version holds four stormies and a pilot for the cockpit. And the "actual" (by actual I mean in the star wars universe) ILC could hold 54 troops and had alternate configurations like Speeder bikes. And not only Snowtroopers use E-Webs. All stormies can. If that's what you mean anyway... Your post is kinda confusing...

sorry for the leaked pics, had no idea they were leaked, sorry

Don't know how new this news is, but...

This month, in the November 2007 issue of the Disney Adventures magazine, pages 44 and 45 are devoted to "Technomania's Top 5 Handheld Games!". #3 would be Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Here is the quote:

That isn't nearly as interesting to me as the pictures that go along with it. All previos screenshots from LSW:TCS have been for the other versions, by the looks of the graphics. These screenshots, however, appear to be for the DS version, the version I'm definitely getting. A screenshot featuring Anakin Skywalker (Episode II version) is provided, along with a second one featuring Shaak Ti (sp?), Mace Windu, and Luminara Unduli in what appears to be a desert-like area. From an online movie review of the first game, it looks like this second screenshot is from the battle arena of Episode II.
I am pleased to say, the DS's graphics for LSW:TCS appear to be better than the DS's graphics for LSWII:TOT.

Oh yeah, I saw on a movie for the game... you can play as Indiana Jones!

I'll post it if I can find it.

-ZotS

I scanned and uploaded the said page of the Disney Adventures magazine I mentioned in the last post. Here's the link:

Link! I am your father!

I just hope that the DS version has as good gameplay as the other versions...

Wow! The graphics for the DS version look way better then the ones for lsw2! Hopefully it won't have all the glitches...

Some of the 08 pics are now on Brickset, so they are basicly un-leaked. But just to be safe...

That ILC Moc looks awesome. I wonder how many pieces it has?

Pics posted on Brickset doesn't mean they aren't leaked. Brickset
has posted leaked pics before.

The battlepack vehicles were made so the battlepacks would have some building material. Years before, LEGO released four sets, called Star Wars 1-4. Each had three minifigs with a stand for each (I think). They were great ways to get minifigs for cheap, costing somewhere around $4. The first one had a Darth Maul, Vader, and the Emperor with black hands(?!?). The others one had two battle droids and a battle droid commander, another one had Boba Fett, Han, and some other guy, and the last one had two scout troopers and Chewie. Everyone loved them...except for Hasbro. Hasbro complained that they were too close to action figures (which Hasbro had the license to). To avoid a lawsuit, LEGO made battlepacks this year, with a little building content.

More Complete Saga news:

Several days ago, in a Costco catalogue, they showed three games produced by Lucasarts that are coming soon. One of the three... yes, predictable, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Here is a scan.

What's interesting about the ad is that we finally learn what the cover art looks like. It doesn't look like the half-LSW:TVG-half-LSWII:TOT picture that is on the official website, but more cartoony, with Luke, Anakin, Leia, an Ewok, Obi-Wan, a Clone Trooper (who apparently is lying on the ground), Threepio, Artoo, Vader, and Maul all hanging out.

Unfortunately, this also reveals a terrible case for the ones (like me) who want to get the DS version. The E+10 rating given to the other versions is most likely due to the crude humor in the cutscenes, which explains why the GBA and DS versions of the previous games got merely an E rating. Here, you can see that the Wii has the usual E+10 rating... and the DS has a mere E rating. Come on, Traveler's Tales! Why can't you put the cutscenes into the handheld versions for once?

Master of Ice and Sonic: I knew that. I'm just saying that battle pack vehicles suck.

-ZotS

I saw that scan on another website. What were the other Lucasarts games though?

Well, it is getting a bit off topic, but the other two Lucasarts games advertised were Thrillville: Off the Rails and Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron. In an Official LEGO Star Wars Topic, I only scanned and posted the LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga ad.

I just went to Wikipedia, and it said that, to promote the upcoming LEGO theme and video game, Indiana Jones would be a playable character in TCS. However, this is Wikipedia I'm talking about, so naturally I wanted proof. Luckily, there was a footnote that led to the source. I think it was GameTrailers, but the link led me to a website that had a couple gameplay videos of the console version sof TCS. Two of these videos were in Freeplay mode, and whoever was playing the game was playing as Indiana Jones!
Indiana Jones as a character is pretty cool. His main weapon is a pistol, but for his meelee attack, he swaps for a whip and lashes foward with it! Man, I hope he's in the DS version!

i love star wars

Thanks. I was just wondering. The Indiana Jones video game sounds cool.

Are we allowed to discuss the Star Wars 08 sets now? I thought we weren't allowed... I hope LEGO makes an IFT-T! It'd be great... As long as it's not the same colour scheme as the TIE Fighters...

I don't think so, because the only '08 LSW images are leaked images from retailers' catalogues.

Urgh. I just decided here was the place to post this..

In LSW II, one of my few remaining gold bricks is from the Episode 6 Minikit Bonus. I got the 100,000 exactly five seconds after five minutes. Before that, it had been ten seconds. So I'm doing better. But still... agh!!!!!

Not anymore!

Link!

Pretty cool.

-ZotS

Those are cool. The Rogue Shadow is my favorite and my second favorite is probably Anakin's ship. 2008 is looking great.

jawd, i havent posted in foreverz


the new sets are, o.k.ish
i like the battle packs and the hellfire droid the othes are weird, the walker might be good, looks like we're gonna see clone war sets in the summer

Looks like no LSW C for the computer, that makes me mad! I wish it was for the PC as well. The other two were, why not this one?
I always hoped LEGO would make the EP II chase level, and when they did, it's not for the PC!

Well, I guess time for you and me to get a PS3 (or 360... or Wii....)

-ZotS

The Rogue Shadow: it looks pretty cool. I think it's a little blocky on the prongs, but they look like they are storage compartments. I hope the cockpit bubble is printed.

Battle packs: At the middle-bottom of this folder are pics from that event of the battle packs. Clicky 1 Clicky 2. It looks like the black piece on the Rebel helmets are actually black visors. So if you want white helmets, simply swap the visors or paint it white. The Rebel speeder is the best BP vehicle yet. Yet the dropship is the worst. I'm glad they decided to go with a Blackhole stormie, cause I don't want to buy that overpriced TIE crawler. The removable turret on the speeder looks nice. It looks like there are stickers of Rebel and Imperial insignas on the dropship and speeder.

Also, if you look here, you can see the other sets. Anakin's starfighter looks better than the original, except that the socket is in the middle, but that should be easy to modify. I'm hoping the stickers on the yellow tiles at the front are clear, so I ccan apply them to other color tiles to make other Delta-7s, that is, assuming they are stickers. I like the hailfire droid, spider droid looks okay, and the AT-AP looks great. I'm glad they decided to add the AT-AP third leg there.

Well, I Googled "LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga", hoping to find any news about it at all... or at least, the DS version. And guess what? I found a website that said it had in-development screenshots from LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga Nintendo DS! Not risking whether or not that website is safe to go to (and plus, those images were HUGE and needed resizing), I saved the images, resized them to a reasonable size, and uploaded them onto Maj.

Most of the screenshots, by the look of the "widscreen" format, are screenies from cutscenes. I hope this means that the cutscenes will be of better quality than those in LSWII Nintendo DS.
ACK! It's Ackbar!
Prepare to be Maul'd...
A better-quality version of thte screenshot provided in the Disney Adventures magazine.
Qui and Obi, perhaps the greatest-quality screenshot that was provided.
Now, if I remember correctly, the website said these were in-development screenshots of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga Nintendo DS. I sure hope so. Although the "widescreen" screenshots seem to have great graphics... what appear to be "in-game" screenshots look terrible.
Of the in-game screenshots, this is the best-quality. I suspect this will be an interesting level, because from the looks of it, we'll be using the Touch Pad to use the lightsaber to block those lasers.
A Tatooine race. The Touch Screen does look a bit interesting...
This is the worst of the screenshots, unfortunately. Luke and Han both look like they're right out of LEGO Rock Raiders, in terms of graphics and appearance. The Battle Droid is OK, however. The Touch Screen reveals that Free Play Mode is closer to the console versions than Free Play Mode of LSWII Nintendo DS.

As I said, I hope these are merely in-development screenshots. While some look great and interesting, others - like that last one - look horrible.

Or we could boycott the game.
Because I willl NOT buy a PS3, Wii, or Xbox360 and the hand held Ones are always a different game.
DOWN WITH PLATFOM DOMINATION!!!

Poor SP... I have you now!

I shall join you in that, then!

Okay...

I might get the DS version...

-ZotS

I went to the official site of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, and it's been updated! I checked out the "Nintendo DS" section, and it had a video and a bunch of screenshots for the game. The graphics look AWESOME!... or at least, in comparison to LSWII for DS, and in comparison to the in-progress screenshots I posted in my last post.

It looks very interesting. From what I can see of the screenshots and gameplay video, there will be cutscenes like those in the other versions (FINALLY!), a whole new type of Touch Pad (the blue box in the Touch Pad in that previous screenshot of Luke and Han, that I think controls the Force), and in addition to the thirty-six or so levels of LSW and LSWII combined, there will be 8 mini-games accessable from the Cantina (which tells us that the Hub of LSW:TCS will be the Cantina, not Dexter's Diner). Although I cannot remember all of them, here are a few:
You play as General Grevious's vehicle, and you have to speed through a tunnel.
You play as Luke wearing a helmet, and using the Touch Screen you must block lasers with your Lightsaber.
You have to quickly repair Anakin's Podracer.
You have to levitate the chair that Threepio is sitting on, to convince the Ewoks that he is an angry god.
This is all just making me more anxious! Can't... wait... for... LEGO... Star... Wars... The... Complete... Saga... for... Nintendo... DS...!

Of the 08 sets, the only one I like is the Rogue Shadow. Probably getting that one.

Gotta love the Republic Cruiser though
