Wow that Y-Wing looks sooooooo much better in the new pic. I was gonna pass on it but it actually looks pretty good, the box art definitely doesn't do it justice.

Sneakguest Posted November 19, 2016 Best build for me is scarif, but it might be since I'm very biased towards locations, other wise the phantom looks very good as well Best mini figures are kanan and the moroff... Admiral Thrawns face print is a major disappointment for me.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeekByKnight Posted November 19, 2016 Ooooof.... Thrawn doesn't look great. His skin looks too bright to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArrowBricks Posted November 19, 2016 It's a better wave than previous ones for sure. Battle packs are decent and the figures are good. Not sure about the walker but I'll live. Yoda's starfighter in my opinion is solid. I like the design a lot! The phantom again is unique and the figures are very good. The duel on naboo set is fairly average. Yes it's a great way to get the figures it just hasn't got a lot to it at all. Not sure about the scariff set to be honest. Guess it's a good way to get some figures which are new. Y-wing is a good set and the figures are good. I have a Y-wing already so depends. Are the landspeeder and skiff set exclusives? Not a bad wave overall at all.

The lego fan Posted November 19, 2016 I've now seen the winter 2017 rouge one stuff and I'm pretty impressed! The battle on scarif looks brilliant and I love to see better and better classic vehicles like the y-wing with epic minifigures being released. I'm not a big fan of the imperial trooper battle pack but it is a cheap way to get the death troopers so that's pretty cool. As for the rebel trooper battle pack, I love it! The troopers look realy awesome. Finally, I think the micro fighters are great, especially the u- wing and Krennicks imperial shuttle. The only one I don't like is the TIE-STRIKER. Hope you agree with my thoughts! The lego fan. 2 minutes ago, ArrowBricks said: It's a better wave than previous ones for sure. Battle packs are decent and the figures are good.

You might want to check the previous page. Yoda's TIE Interceptor Mini Jedi Fighter looks cute... although I won't be picking it up. Y-Wing is a definite buy... looks great and excellent minifigures. As long as Thrawn's eyes are red enough then he's about as good as I'd have hoped. The dark blue slick back hair is exactly as he is in Rebels although I'd prefer the Dr Who/Tarkin Hair in black for a EU version. I like the look of the Scarif set and all of the battlepacks and microfighters are also definite purchases. Here's hoping the OT sets that were rumoured offer us something nice in the way of new or updated figures even if the builds might be lacklustre. 3 minutes ago, General Magma said: Am I seeing that right?

Well, the only set that was released by itself last year (except the USC's) was the rebel combat frigate, and I counted it to be 12 sets last winter including the battle pack (but excluding micro fighters and buildables), so without 2 battle pack it should be at least 10, so I think 3 more is in place, so the skiff, speeder and Lando set should be apart of this wave if lego has not changed anything Additionally year by year lego has only increased the number of sw lego sets and hopefully they haven't decided to change that trend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdm44 Posted November 19, 2016 That Y-wing set looks amazing. Awesome build, two new alien minifigures, a new astromech and an OT Stormtrooper. My only nitpick will be if the pilot is the same as the one in the U-wing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bountybossk Posted November 19, 2016 The new Phantom might be my first ever Rebels set. I don't care too much about the figs, but I'm really digging the design. I'll ignore the stickers and swap out some parts so I can use it as a small Imperial shuttle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makoy Posted November 19, 2016 Top picks for me: The Phantom & the Imperial Trooper Battle Pack. Also, I think that I may get the Y-wing because it actually looks better than then I expected with the higher resolution photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Only Sinner Posted November 19, 2016 I have to agree here. The Phantom looks pretty good. Love the Y-Wing and the BPs. I like the variety of Rebel fighters especially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My only nitpick will be if the pilot is the same as the one in the U-wing. That's what I noticed too, what a shame they used the same helmet ( or maybe someone screwed up, rebel trooper in the u-wing style ). On a side note the build of the Duel of Faith is trash but guys go take a look on bricklink on how freacking much the latest iterations of Qui-Gon and Maul goes for, I'm very glad they are going to be available in a cheap set. Also pretty sure Thrawn's eyes are red, they simply added white for the eye's glint. Edited November 19, 2016 by RetroInferno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Malgus Posted November 19, 2016 I think the phantom is ok... Scarrif set and y-wing sets look quite good. only the shoretrooper looks good in the build s fig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makoy Posted November 19, 2016 Do you guys have higher resolution pictures because even if I zoom in I can't see much details on Thrawn's face... I mean yes I can see black and white (probably the light falloff) but other than that..it's really just hard guessing if that really all black and white...

Forresto Posted November 19, 2016 Thrawn looks decent enough to me. Right now i'm using Cad Bane's head so anything is really an improvement UNLESS...he doesn't have red eyes. He doesn't seem to have any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strangely Posted November 19, 2016 Really love Battle on Scarif, looks like a great build. The only other set I'm interested in is Duel on Naboo. I actually like this version of Maul and really didn't want to buy the last set he was in. The build is maybe a bit too simplistic but I really like having a playset for a smaller price point, so I can live with the build being what it is. My only real issue is Obi-Wan's hair. If they were going to completely recycle minifigures they could have at least thrown in a different hairpiece. I mean Finn's hair in that color would have been better than this same hairpiece that we've had for years. There are just so many other options. I'm almost to a point where I'd like to see that hair phased out completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProvenceTristram Posted November 19, 2016 Gee, so far the new Phantom is really the only one I care about. Yoda's fighter has kind of a nice shape (sort of a mini TIE Interceptor), and the Naboo Duel is an obvious buy just for the three minifigs (but looks otherwise useless)... but the rest, outside the minifgure packs, look pretty forgettable. Particularly disappointing is the Battle on Scarif - yes, nice mix of minifigs (and who doesn't love Shoretroopers?), but I could easily see that set running $35-$40, and I don't know that I can justify that for 4 minifigs (2 of which I basically already own).

The_Chosen_1 Posted November 19, 2016 Battle on Scarif and the Y-Wing are definitely my favorite of the bunch! What an awesome selection of minifigs with the Y-Wing, particularly. The Phantom II looks good as well, but boy..... it looks like it has an exorbitant amount of stickers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forresto Posted November 19, 2016 The Y-Wing is an absolute must buy for me if only because of Admiral Raddus. I will actually be purchasing multiples of him on the second market, he's that cool looking. Plus I want to have blue and orange mon calamari intermingle.

Japanbuilder Posted November 19, 2016 That Y Wing looks so tempting now >< Was hoping to mostly stick to EPVII and above since I am a recent returnee to LEGO but wow! They really stepped up over the sets last year. >< Oh my wallet >< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the bright side it can't have as many stickers (20+) as Resistance Transport from 2016. And Phantom is just a spectecular set overall! Btw we still don't know piece count and prices right?

ProvenceTristram Posted November 19, 2016 Anyone else disappointed by the hair on young Kenobi in the Naboo set? That clean parted piece is so tired, and he looked nothing like that in Episode I. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legocity2713 Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) The U-Wing looks like one of the best Microfighters that we've ever gotten. Its so sleek and that exclusive fig just puts it above and beyond. I loved the Battle on Takodana set from last year so granted I like the Sacriff set as well even if it does look like a movie set and not a completed in universe location. The parts are useful, you get some great figs (nice to have the 2 main characters in one set, wish that they put Rey in the Takodana set alongside Finn now that I'm looking at it) and you get the Death Star plans and another one of those orange crates for the Hover-Tank. It really is the must have set for the Rogue One line imo, it encompasses everything about the movie so well. That said, I'll probably only be getting the Imperial Battle Pack since the figs are too cool to pass up and my Star Wars collection really only consists of battle packs.
