Howdy! I've got some set ideas:
ROTS:
Beachfront Berserkers: The Wookies and The BARC Troopers need your help on Kasshyyk! Includes 2 Wookie Warriors, 2 BARC Troopers and a bunker. 5.99
Coruscant Firespeeder: Help put out the fire on the Invisible Hand! Includes a Coruscant firefighter. 19.99
Anakin's Rampage: Stop Anakin and The 501st Legion! Includes 2 younglings, Anakin, and two 501st Legion clones. 9.99
The Crash Landing: Stop the fire on the Invisible Hand! Includes Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan-Kenobi, Palpatine, R2-D2, a firefighter, Half of the Invisible Hand, and a firespeeder. 89.99
Separist Smelting Facilities: Man the battle droids! Includes Nute Gunray, Rune Haako, Wat Tambor, Shuu Mai, Shuu Mai's aide, Po Nudo, Po Nudo's aide, Passel Argente, Passel Argente's aide, Poggle The Lesser, San Hill, Genosian Warrior, and 2 Security Droids. 29.99

That's all 4 now!

Here I am with my bit of news. I now have pics of the Slave I for next year.

The Minifig IG-88 has a new clip-neck piece and he will be great for custom Magnaguards! Boba does not have Cloud City detailing and we do NOT get the Carbonite Han.

The Slave I itself looks almost identical to Jango's, but has an all-new, much morestable design and opening cockpit doors behind Boba! It has a new 'shooting' function, too. Click here to find out more.


By the way, what part do the eight trans-orange 2x2 radar dishes play in the original Slave I?

I am training my dog to wear a harness, which will allow any minifig to ride him, perhaps a Stormtrooper or maybe Vader! For instructions, PM me.


Oh, and Kurahk The White, by my estimates a minifig-scale half-size Invisible Hand would be bigger than a dog and weigh more than forty kilograms. That is a serious no-no on LEGO's part.



Anyone wishing to sell their Stormtroopers should PM me. They MUST have blasters.


also, an emergency Firespeeder MOC is on the way from me. I recently got hold of a crate chock-full of red 2x4s and white 1x2s.

I take it neithier of you know Ultimate Space Battle's EXACT release date?

Hello to you many LEGO Star Wars fans, I recently have some new and old new news.

A certain LEGO Star Wars site has obtained a hold on a picture of the new V-Wing LEGO set coming out. There slowly teasing us with blurry pictures but in a couple of days the picture will be out fine and clear. So far I don't know if any other site has this picture yet.

The second news I have is some what old, yet new . At Brickfest (this is why this is some what old) I got to talk to Greg Hyland, the guy who makes the LEGO cartoons for the magazine, for about an hour or so. During the talk he told me that there is a possible plan for the return of the comics in the back of the instruction manual from the Star Wars sets. Also he said the box art of the some of the LEGO sets might change from pictures of the sets to some new type of art. There might also be comics coming with different sets. Let me be clear about this. So far these are only possibilities and might not happen. From the sound of it, the comics in the back of the instruction manual is the most likely to happen. Just keep in mind, I'm not sure.

Hope you enjoyed this news .

That looks intresting. I'll buy the V-wing when it comes out and post a review if someone hasn't already. While I don't know the exact release date for the ultimate space battle, I heard it would come out in october, the rest of the sets in january.

I'm not editing these images. I haven't seen it in full resoloution yet. Someone else from a different website has edited these.

These are getting better and better!

so far it looks pretty good for an official model. I see they're using an epII jsf canopy.

Wow these new 2006 sets look awsome! I'm definitly getting the V-wing. I'm working on a moc of a trade federation cruiser, it' not as big or as detailed but it'll do. I also have a good idea to modify the spider droid from Wookie Attack. All you have to do is switch the bottom hinge parts to face up-and-down, to make it look like a spider droid.

I also have some set ideas:

The Beacon: Obi-wan must turn off the beacon to warn any jedi from returning to corasaunt, but first he must defeat the deadly assassins. Includes Obi-wan Kenobi, and 4 Clone assassins. $9.99

ARC Gunship: The ARC troopers must travel to Hypori to save the trapped jedi. Includes ARC Commander Alpha, 2 ARC troopers, 2 Arc pilots, and one ARC Heavy Gunner. $99.99

Crab Droid: The Clones must destroy the vicious Crab Droid. Includes 18cm long Crab Droid, and 3 Clone troopers. $19.99

AT-OT: This monsterous walker carries the clone armies across the land. Includes 1 pilot, 8 clone troopers, Commander Bly, And Ayla Secura. $139.99

Well thats all for now!

Well, the picture is finally up and... it... l... o... o... k... s... GREAT! I think so . It's an amazing set for only ten bucks ($10).

There's one problem. I can't show the picture. The site that's hosting the picture decided to put their web site address right on the image. This site has forums so I can't show the picture . [Edit: Thank you Captain Kopaka for informing me that]

I'm sure Brickshelf will have it soon.

Removing the address from the picture would be illegal, so nobody should be doing it.

I'm displeased with the major lack of airtightness on the cockpit. The rest of the set is good, and I want that droid head.

-km

Mmm,nice! It's only 10 Euro,so I'll buy it.If the sets arrive in the stores.It passed a months since the release of the sets,and I can't find the ROTS sets in zero stores.





-S-

Overall, I like the look of the V-Wing. Somehow, I envisioned the wings being bigger, a la TIE fighter design, but to counter that, I also noticed that there just might be a way to make the wings rotate back for landing. The astromech droid head is nice, and the overall shape is very realistic. I only wish that some Republic symbols were placed on the sides (I am pretty sure the movie versions do) and that the cockpit actually has controls. Even the high-res picture seems to indicate that like the ARC-170 front pilot, the V-Wing clone pilot will have nothing to drive his ship. And it isn't airtight...

But since we can't see the engines, there may yet be another reason to get this ship. It might have the same piece count as Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter (2002), so that would justify the $20 pricetag (where are you guys getting $10? It is 10 Euros). I look forward to it, and by just monetary issues alone, I might get it before the Slave I.

After seeing that giant whatever-Class Star Destroyer, I'm just wondering how long it is until they make a giant Super Star Destroyer. That would get me drooling.

Set ideas:
Cato Nemoidia Assault:Jedi Master Plo Koon flies over Cato Nemoidia in his awesome starfighter, but can he stop the Nemoidians, or will the clones get him first? Minifigs:Plo Koon, 2 clone troopers, 2 pilots, and 2 nemoidian warriors.

Jedi Council:The Jedi are discussing their strategies and plans to defeat the Seperatist forces. Are their plans good enough? Minifigs:Yoda, Mace, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Eeth Koth, and Yarael Poof.

Chancellor's Arrest:Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin, and Agen Kolar are attempting to arrest Chancellor Palpatine. Will they succeed? Minifigs:Mace, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar, Palpatine, and Anakin.

Duel on the Invisible Hand:Anakin faces an old foe, Count Dooku. He has captured the Chancellor! Who will win? Minifigs, Anakin, Obi-wan, Dooku, two super battle droids, and Palpatine.

Invisible Hand Control Room:Anakin and Obi-wan get captured! They are captured by General Greivous! Will they escape? Minifigs:Anakin, Obi-wan, Grievous, Palpatine, two MagnaGuards, and 4 droid pilots (blue battle droids).

That one room in RotJ on the Mon Calamari ship with all those rebels: Minifigs:Mon Mothma, Han, Lando, Chewie, Artoo, Threepio, Luke, Leia, Admiral Ackbar, and probably 8-12 rebels.

Well, the site is doing it again. Now they're teasing us with a messed up picture of what appears to be the LEGO TIE Interceptor. Can't wait to see it!

Woah. Nice V-wing. (golden gecko stares awed thinkin he must buy five.)

Woah. Nice V-wing. (golden gecko stares awed thinkin he must buy five.)
shoot, double post.

The V-Wing is from Episode III, and it appears briefly during the Battle of Coruscant. Its main appearance is when Palpatine is bringing Anakin to Coruscant. Anyway, that V-WIng looks pretty neat. I like the design of the wings and that red R2 head rules. The cockpit it less then airtight, but so is the ARC and no one complains about that.

~CoKK

It looks like a 9.99 set...or less..I hope its less. Its so cool, Im gonna buy multiples!

Aaahh!Why must they taunt us?But the V-wing,B-wing,and slave-I are awsome.Can't wait for them to be released!

Ahgg! Why teaseing why teasing, sorry about the large image size.

And people! Please don't PM me about where I found these pics. It's a forum site.

finally a normal sized tie interceptor thats not a collectors edition or anything! yay!

if you move back from the screen or squint, you could see it better

Im gonna buy like 5 of those V-wings...then i'll get like two interceptors, and 3 a-wings, and...anyone got pics for the upcoming b-wing?


My basement ceiling is gonna look like a war's goin on (that's the purpose actually) im gonna need to get a job.


And by the way..for those who aren't sure and are asking "What the heck is a V-wing?"




This is a Revenge of the Sith V-Wing. Later they re-painted these for Imperial purposes. You can see them escorting Palpatine and Darth Vader back to Coruscant. Later in life, these and and jedi Starfighters gave rise the the Twin Ion Engine fighters...




Rogue Squadron and Expanded Universe V-Wing.
These are ships with good maneurability, but weak firepower. Their 5 cluster missiles make up for it though!

Check out Brickset for a pic of the B-Wing, and thanks for the info about the V-wing.

~BioDude101

I have my scources...

*tries desperately to figure out what his source is*...



How much did you pay the Bothan spies on this one?lol...j/k.

Lol,bothans,that word's a part of the forum's name Takiah .


Why doing this?I could accept the swirled V-wing, but an Interceptor transformed into an alvear is just TOO much.Besides,it's just another Interceptor....


Oh,and I love that V-wing....really neat.



-S-

it was?


Cuz I finally tracked it down, and its elsewhere...



*flies on imaginary Jedi Starfighter*

I cut off the bottom because it was water marked.
