Nice new name, Zaktan606 ;P. Maybe you're right. Perhaps they will make a Kowakian monkey-lizard minifigs. If not, you could always repaint a lemur minifig from Avatar (sorry, don't know the name). Dark tan was used on the vulture droid.

About the new Ventress head, I'm pretty sure they won't use a new mold. It's cheaper to just print. I'm not to sure about the Koon head. Look at Ten Numb. They may make it a new mold, but you don't know if it will be rubber. Kit was made rubber because of his tentacles, which would have made some pointy spikes in plastic.

Yeah, I didn't really like the Kit Fisto head. I couldn't turn... and it was weird.

~Air Spirit

Last I checked Koon had his share of pointy parts too...

TMD

How would you have made it so it could turn?


Not really, the two only spikes I can find are on his mask, and TLC probably would print that, or make it softer.

I want to ask everyone who is reading this topic, I am making an Ackbar cereal brick. (If you haven't seen it from Star Wars Robot Chicken, go see it. It's funny in a weird sort of way, and most of the bad words are bleeped out). I need to make a sticker or decal to put on a piece, but I'm wondering what piece. I was thinking the 1x2x2 brick (it's the 1x2 brick that's taller than the usual 1x2 brick). Does anyone have any better suggestions? Please tell me what you think.

"This oatmeal is gross..."


"IT'S A TRAP!"


""Yay, it's Admiral Ackbar!""

""Yay, it's Admiral Ackbar cereal!""

"With a suprize in every box!"

"Your tongues can't repel flavour of that magnitude!!!"

I loved that sketch! The 1x2x2 brick sound like the best choice to me.

lol, Robot Chicken is always great.

Anyways, we'll see Plo Koon eventually...

~Air Spirit

Upon getting 100% on LSW: TCS, an Asajj Ventress Head is unlocked in the character creator... I reckon we're gonna see a LEGO Star Wars: The Clone Wars videogame!

Jalaguy

Grrr....I really want to get the AT-AP, but it's far too expensive and is it just me, or does it cost twice as much in the UK?

The US S@H listing has it at $39.99, but on the UK site it's £39.99!

You wouldn't happen to be able to grab a screenie, would ya?

TMD

I like that new republic gunship, and the monkey lizard is interesting, a bit like the art bomber crews would put on the noses of their bombers in WWII.

Yes, but it doesn't seem like something near-mindless clones would do without being told to... I guess it makes sense with the ARC Troopers, since they're supposed to be more "independant" than other clones... Plus it looks rather odd...

@Jalaguy: What system do you have it for? Is it detailed or weird like in the original Clone Wars? Does it have those triangle tatoos? Can you take a photo?

*sigh*
Clones =/= Droids.

Clone troopers are just like ordinary people, they simply are more obedient. ARC Troopers are different because they have had a much broader training than standard clones. Savvy?

TMD

One pic of Lego Asajj comig up... She appears to be in the style of the original Clone Wars cartoon.

Clicky!

Sorry 'bout the large picture, you might be better off right-clicking and saving target rather than waiting for it to load...

Jalaguy

Ooo... That head is nice... Kinda wish she had a few more of her tattoos, though.

TMD

Except they're all the same, have accelerated growth, and their main purpose is to protect and fight for the republic. Commanders and ARCs are more independant then an average clone.

@Jallerguy: The Asajj Head is pretty good, but i hope the LEGO figure isn't quite like that. I'm glad that now she has pupils in the new Clone Wars cartoon.

EDIT: Why does she have a... a.. A... A NOSE?!?!?!?!?!?!

The Asajj Ventress head is ok. I'm glad it doesn't have the Anakin toad head.

Hmm... the Asajj Ventress head is pretty cool. Where did you find it?

~Air Spirit

He said he got it in the Charactor Creator when he got 100% completion in LSW: TCS.

I hope Asajj Ventress is like that. On the new Lego Star Wars, can you make a character with a shield? I don't think you can, but I was just wondering.

Well, we can't be sure it's going to be that design. but Kit Fisto's head did look like LSW's Kit Fisto head, so...

~Air Spirit

Neither did the Rebel fleet troopers.

But Luminara looked the same. (except her right hand...)

Video game Luminara looks like the real fig 'cause the fig came first. Video game Kit Fisto and fleet troopers look different to the real figs 'cause they came first and the set designers didn't base the real minifigs off the game.

Jalaguy

Oh... RIght... She was released in '05...

Check out this text from hasbro.com:

Interesting.


I think LEGO should release more Rebel ground forces. All they have now is bobsleds and everything else flys... T1-B, T2-B, T3-B, or T4-B would be good vehicles for them to use! What else can they use against AT-STs? Perhaps include Rebel Vanguards with rocket launchers as well?

Got the MTT, AT-AP and a Clone Battle Pack yesterday at Target for only $95. Lol. So now I've gotten an army upgrade. You can read my reviews on Brickset if you please, they should be up soon.

I just got Anakin's starfighter at TRU, and his head is horrible! For one, it's ugly, and his hair keeps coming off. And I saved the Republic Emblem sitckers to put on something. They're pretty small. Other than his head, I don't like the design of the R2 ejection contraption. If you bump it, you have to manually reset it. It gets pretty annoying. But the thrusters are nice. Other than the diffculties mentioned, it's definitely worth buying.

~Cmdr.~

[Looking back at this, I just realized you said that both Fistos looked the same. They looked different, the one from the video games had a normal head with an additional headpiece, and the real one was a completely different headpiece without the regular minifig head. You can't rely on the games for how future minifigs will look. I prefer the real one. THe video game Fisto looked just weird to me, sort of like those old composers who wore big wigs.

I don't recall powdered wigs being green... I need to find new battlepacks... lots of them... but I am unable to find them! ny suggestions as to which stores to search? Besides Target... None in this province. Stores I have checked: Toys R Us, Zellers.

Yeah, I realized that sometime after I posted that. XD So yeah, we can't rely on video games to determine how the molds in the future will look.

~Air Spirit

Unless they use the same thing as the videogame for Plo Koon! *dramatic music*

I really like the lineup for 2008 so far. Doing Clone Wars seems like an odd idea, given how many sets LEGO hasn't done from the prequel trilogy yet, but they look so well designed I can't complain.

Guys, I've got a question about the first LEGO Star Wars game for PC. Does it run on Windows Vista? I've found a good deal to get the first two games for PC, but I'm afraid that the first one may not run on Windows Vista, which is the computer I'm using.

They both run on Vista. I played them both on Vista yesterday, and in my opinion
it makes both games run faster. The only problem is that I don't think you can do the
Use Old Save extra, because I can't find the save file. Could someone post instructions
for doing it on Vista?

The 08 Summer sets look awesome, BTW. I hope we see a Plo Koon fig soon.

-S82-

Why's it strange? It makes perfect sense to me:
CW sets come out next year.
Next year is the new CW series.

I do agree it's strange they never released any of Padme's ships, or Dooku's solar sailor (they had a prototype for it). Also, beware, TLC has omitted figures from prototypes. Remember the old gunship? It was slated include Mace, but for some reason TLC decided to weasel out. On the other hand, TLC has been known to add figures. K-3PO was added so late to the Echo door that they had to photoshop his picture in.

I got LSW III for the DS. It's pretty good; you can add in double-bladed lightsabers into your own figs now! There are these new minigames that you use the touch screen for, and they're really fun. One problem is that I don't think there are any new levels built in for this version. But overall, it's a good game.

~Cmdr.~

Anyone notice that they updated the products page with awesome little animations? I like how they put music in for about 2 seconds.

~Air Spirit

I saw them. Lego seems to get a bit better in making the product animations. But it would be better if they put the music for 5 seconds.

Actually the Clone wars sets and series come out this year. clone wars sets in summer and the series in the fall.

Yep, you're right. I was thinking it was still 2007. I'm sorry!

Can you make double bladed lightsabers on LSW III for the Wii. Also, can you make them in different colors?

Heads-up:

Latests LEGO Mag has an SW-related contest. Build your favorite scene from a movie. Grand prize winner receives and XBox 360 system and a copy of LSW:TSG for the 360. 8D

TMD

I'm pretty sure you can, but not different colors. You'd have to see for yourself, though. I don't have a Wii.

And TMD: 8Dx2

~Cmdr.~

Hmmm... in the Lego mag, huh? Well, they did make an agreement with Microsoft...

But anyways, I will probably enter! I really actually want a PS3, but all my friends want me to get a 360 (mainly because they have one) so I guess it won't hurt to try. And I want LSW:TCS anyway...

~Air Spirit

No, you can't, at least as far as I know. I bought Maul, but double-bladed lightsaber doesn't appear to be usable. At least the Wii has Mando helms, and the DS doesn't.

Hey, can anyone who owns the new N-1 set give me a measurement of the length (front to back) in studs?

Yeah I bought Darth Maul, but it didn't work. Can you also use gungan staffs and shields? I don't think so.

46 studs long

Those pics are leaked from a dealer's catalogue. I think you should remove that link.


Thanks!

What? I can't go strolling around the Cantina in a Mandalorian helmet? That stinks. And do you mean Maul's saber isn't useable for the Wii?

~Cmdr.~
