Im Australian, that's just how I talk. We swear a lot, and not exclusively in anger, just in casual conversation. I know, but I'd save it for worse stuff. But I know a few Australians and they don't talk like that... 1 hour ago, Darth Malgus said: Part of me hopes @makoy is wrong and we don't get technic vehicles to go with buildable figures, I don't think they would look sensational. Hoped to be proven wrong. Personally I'd rather TLG focus on making good system sets. They didn't do technic for a really long time and previous sets although character based (mindstorms aside) didn't reall hit the mark. Do you mean me? I was just saying that the speeder bike may be Technic, it wasn't makoy. But I really don't see TLG combining a buildable figure and normal bricks. It'd be too expensive and they don't really match. CCBS, like Technic, is hollow and lightweight and don't use the stud systems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well obviously you're not going to find a single unifying speech trait among 22 million people. But its pretty common in Australia to swear casually. I dont see it as anything noteworthy. Its just another word. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDbricks Posted January 9, 2017 From the guidelines: "If you choose to ignore these guidelines and sign up anyway, it is not our responsibility if you are offended by what you read or see. Similarly, if you are an adult who is offended by what is often labeled as adult content, you should probably avoid this site." Now please, stay on topic.

The only buildable figure that I have is Darth Vader. Now, if that Stormtrooper commander is indeed just the OT Stormtrooper with a pauldron then I may consider getting that.

But wow, it'd be interesting if the CCBS Scout Trooper's speeder bike was Technic: we haven't had a Technic SW build in a long time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StarWars8Spoiler Posted January 9, 2017 So, found this on imgur. Looks like 4-LOM will be in that battlepack after all, if this is real. Looks legit to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benderisgreat Posted January 9, 2017 Why is everyone so interested in 4Lom in battlepack? Bossk is more well known and hasn't appeared in a set since 2010. I'd rather have him a n battlepack! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lobot Posted January 9, 2017 As mentioned in the 2017 UCS thread, the details for 75144 (Snowspeeder) on the Brickset database have been erased (link). I'm not too sure if this is good news or not, especially relating to the rumours of a new UCS Falcon. Personally I'd like both to be true! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aethersprite Posted January 9, 2017 Wait... Where is the FO TIE Bomber coming from? Is it a legitimate, source-backed rumour or are people just wish listing or predicting again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering about that myself, and I hope it's just guesswork...I mean, a set like that wouldn't come until a presumably September tie-in event related to the new movie (since we haven't seen a FO bomber yet.) But I really hope that instead of just inverting the colors on old fighters, they actually put some effort into it, and came up with some new designs...

I'm not convinced it will be a classic bounty hunter pack either. I really want it to be but while i'm not typically pessimistic I expect it to end up being based on something else. What if its a freemaker bounty hunter pack? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChiefPie Posted January 9, 2017 The First Order Tie Bomber came from nrg who usually is true about new sets we didn't know about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi-Bendu Posted January 9, 2017 Regarding the TIE Bomber rumour: I don't doubt nrg for a second. Funny thing is that today rumours surfaced regarding Kylo Ren's personal TIE Advanced in VIII (different desing than the bomber). 2 TIE's on Force Friday?

I don't mind the First Order using Imperial ship designs but can kylo ren have a new personal fighter design... Anyway I'm definitely looking forward to the republic tank and the bounty hunter battlepack. It's still possible the clone will be Bly since there was a stand in minifigure instead of a already made phase 1 clone just like the aayla secura in the video.

From what I heard Kylo's TIE looks very similar to Old Republic Sith Fury Class Interceptor ship just in First Order colors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
