Wow... Those are creepy. I'll replace the heads with black heads. Black heads...

Dude, I /like/ the Clone's heads.

TMD

I'm going with TX-158 on this. I'll definitely replace 'em with black heads.

~Cmdr.~

Ya. Why Lego had to actually do the Clone Wars series heads, I don't know. They're not that good.

What the heck have they done to Obi's eyes? He looks even froggier than Ani!

What I like to do with for clone heads:
Option 1: Decal a head like the Jango minifig.
Option 2: Put a black head for when the helm's on, and replace that with a fleshie head when it's off.

It's too bad the pauldron and kama are plastic.

Wow! The clones finally have faces! I'm glad they have them now... that adds more character!

Obi Wan does look a little strange...

And those stickers are pathetic... but cool at the same time!

I think that Plo Koon is growing on me now that I've examined the hi-res pics closely. Every time I look at Plo Koon's head, I want it more. Looking closely at the gunship pics, it looks like a ton of opening comparments and playability features. I sure hope so. I've been wondering whether Ahsoka has a minifig head and a headpiece, or one big headpiece.

I'd much rather have had a Shaak Ti figure then Ashoka, but oh well, Ashoka is new, so...

Also, I like every one of these figures! I have a problem with the super-exaggerated cartoon faces Anakin and Obi Wan bear though...

~Air Spirit

I think that the 2009 set should be a perfectly mini-fig scale Lambda class Shuttle. Mini-figs could be either Endor versions of Han, Luke, Leia, Chewie, and rebel coomandos or Two Shuttle pilots, the Emporer, some of his dignitaries, and maybe Darth Vader. I'd say the first is more likely. I'd definitely buy one if it was released!

all late 2008 sets

Dude, we've known about that for a few days now...

TMD

im thinking about getting the rebel BP but im not sure if i should or save up and get something else? any suggestions on what a should do?

Save up for something big, buy it, and then save for a rebel BP and it'll be really quick.

ok,thanks



anyway the new gunship looks awsome and about the twi'lek dancer, at the beginning of the trailer when a gunship flys by the camera right before you see the clones gearing up,pause and you can slightly see the dancer on the gunship



heres the link to the trailer HERE

There we are.

TMD

Wow. Quite the resemblance. Well... 'cept for the fact that she's a LEGO Mini-fig on the LEGO set.

Well they kinda had to do that, anyway... im thinking about getting anakins{spelling?} star fighter and then getting rebel BP. would anyone who owns the star fighter tell me if its good or not? and how does the R2 ejection thing work?

It's Ok, but the ejection system is messed up. There's a little lever on the bottom, and everytime you bump it you have to reset it because R2 gets misaligned. So if I were you I'd disable the ejection system. And other than the fact the Anakin has a toad for a face, it's great.

-T-

Meh, the one on the ship is hotter.

...

Oh, did I just say that?

~Air Spirit

No. You typed it! It's beyond me why the clones would put THAT on their ship...

Yay! i got my anakin star fighter today! now..on to the mini review With no pictures {yet}


the so called "toad face" isnt that bad actully,the r2 ejection system works pretty well, just dont bump the bottem :/ the stickers arent that good, i didnt put them on there ill probaly put them on my DS or something,anyway anakins new hair..strange but useful

Motivation? Hello, clones are human, remmeber?

TMD

They're all Jangos, so aren't they technically Mandalorian?
Or was Jango just a human in Mandalorian armour?

Mandalorians are just humans from the planet Mandalore.

And yeah, that would make them all humans/Mandalorians...

DudeNuva

But they're from Kamino. Their source of DNA is a Mando.

Well, Mandos aren't a specific species. They're a clan of warriors of a bunch of different species. Technically, the Fett clan isn't even a true Mandalorian clan. They were adopted pretty late into the Mandalorian culture.

The Clone Wars sets don't look that bad.I like the Magna Droid Starfighter.I might get it depending on how much it is.I was hoping that the Grievous bodyguards (that's what I call them) would look like how they do in LSW1.Also,does anyone know where I can get the instructions for the alternate model for the V-Wing set?

Okay, guys, a couple questions relating to LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, for the PC/Console versions.
1) Where is the Red Power Brick in Episode V, Level 5: Cloud City Trap?
2) I know from looking at Wuher's silhoute that it unlocks the Minikit Detector. Does the detector also detect Red Power Bricks?
3) Are there any tips for beating Episode VI, Minikit Bonus: Endor? Every time I try, I just barely lose (my most recent try had me lose by .77 seconds!).

Also, interesting new sets, though I probably won't be buying them. To me, Obi-Wan's wide-eyed head piece isn't all that bad, I mean, at least it looks normal... in comparison to the faces of Anakin and the clones. The MangaGuards are interesting, though I wish they made them like they were in LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game. I'm not quite so sure what I think about the Lizard-Monkey and Twi'lek decorations...

1. You're going to feel so weird after finding it... or at least I did. Check at the back of the X-Wing in the very first scene.
2. Minikit detectors do not detect Red Bricks.
3. Yes; purchase the unlimited torpedoes bonus. You can blow stuff up like crazy and get tons of studs.

Still hoping for a Republic Fighter Tank this summer... I've dreamed of a LEGO version ever since I first started playing the Clone Wars game for GC.

I don't really plan on buying it, but more out of curiosity, can anyone tell me whether the AT-AP includes the Swamp Trooper pilots or not? In the catalogue, one of the pictures shows them inside the walker at the controls, but it only mentions that the Shock Troopers are included.

Just Shock Troops. One thing's "different." They have white hips. That's it. That's the only difference from the ones in the BPs.

I've been fond of this version. Hope it's as good or better.

Ooooooh... Pretty... If I had that, I'd replace white with light gray and red with dark grey...

Have any of you seend the new Star Wars sets that are supposed to come out this year? There is a Republic Gunship and At-Te!
Sev

Actually , I m wondering why Lego would put that as a sticker on the RGS. Anywho , I just got the new At At. It is awesome! The only thing, though, is that it doesnt work well in snow ,carpet,and it can't step on my snowspeeder. But, it is still pretty cool , despite the cost. The total for it was $130 for the set, $20 for shiping and tax. $150!!!! But it was worth it, as I didnt get the old one. I'll give you guys a mini reivew later.
Madess is my domain,

That's what we've been talking about for at least a week.


Well, the Twi'lek was on a gunship in the Clone Wars trailer, these sets are supposed to represent the new CW series, why not put that sticker?

The Gunship looks sweet!
So detailed and so much playabilitys!
Finally LEGO does some great sets.
And they´re based on the movie "Star Wars:Clone Wars"!
I want to see that movie!
But not until August.
I hope the summer sets will be out in July!

.:SHOCK:.

It's not a movie, it's a show, like the original cartoon... Only... Better... Maybe. But I agree, the new sets are awesome!

No, there's an animated movie hitting the big screens to kick off the Clone Wars. It was on starwars.com somewhere.

Really... 7 Star Wars movies! *head explodes at thought* I wouldn't expect it to be in theaters. I'll have to see it.

I just may watch it... And get some sets while I'm at it.

~Air Spirit

Does anyone know the prices of the summer sets?Also,I found out that the Clone Wars is now officially going to be on Cartoon Network(yay!A channel I get !).

I'm fairly sure they're all at least USD$50... Toy Fair's almost here, we'll see the prices then.

TMD

I think I heard the gunship will be $99.99. Not sure about others, though.

Argh. I don't have that kind of money. XD

~Torhuki

Old price/set list:

7673 Magna Droid Fighter, $49.99
7674 V-19 Torrent, $49.99
7675 AT-TE, $89.99
7676 Republic Gunship, $99.99

TMD

Oh man, those are way out of my pirice range. I was hoping the Gunship would be less...

~Torhuki

Agreed, the sets do seem a tad expensive this time round...

Ah well, I'd better start saving.

TMD

Indeed... I'll only be buying the Gunship, myself. It's not worth it for the rest, in my opinion... the AT-TE particularly. $90... what were they thinking?

And that green mini-Hutt...

BTW, congrats on your Premier-ness, TMD.
