I'm hoping either the Tank or the Vader set is $30, and the other maybe $40. While looking at the preliminary pictures of the Vader transformation set and the Republic Hovertank set, I noticed that the box size is 262 by 191 by 61 mm for both (the image of Vader transformation is very blurry but you can still make out the numbers) which is the exact box size of 25 USD sets from the past few waves.

This sounds great! Do you know where the rumor originated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GryffindorResistance Posted January 9, 2017 Is Obi Wan's Starfighter with Hyperboost Ring still happening? I checked the Brick Fan and its not on there list, maybe they just made a mistake? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also for everyone, will it definitely be his starfighter from Episode 2 and not an interceptor as I'm really digging the 'starfighter' with the booster ring.

It will definitely be the starfighter because the interceptor came out last year and is still on shelves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, but we haven't had an Interceptor with a Booster Ring since 2007, so either is welcome for me! If it IS an Interceptor (though probably not), then it should be Obi-wan's Utapau version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wesker Posted January 9, 2017 The Episode 2 Starfighter is my preference but the Utapau Interceptor would be welcome too. Either way I just hope it can deliver on some new characters. Still waiting on Commander Cody, Tion Meddon and the Kaminoans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afraid it's rumoured to have Obi-Wan, Boba, and the Astro droid which is disappointing but we will see. But yes I would have liked to see maybe another AOTC Jedi or the ones you've listed above.

Wonder how big it'll have to be to be able to slot an astromech in on the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully they do include the whole astromech. Edited January 9, 2017 by ArrowBricks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fives Posted January 9, 2017 It seems to me that the new wave of sets have not been released yet in Canada. I called the Fairview LEGO store in Toronto today in the hopes of finding the Y-Wing in stock and was surprised to discover that they hadn't received any of the new sets, and also they had not been posted on the LEGO Shop site. I was under the impression these new sets were slated for a January 1st release. Is this incorrect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canonically the Delta-7 (episode 2 starfighter) shouldn't have a removable astromech. TLG has only included droid sockets with jedi starfighters (TCW and episode 3 versions) because they actually featured them in universe.

Also the minifigure list lists an astromech droid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it features an astromech I would wager it's not the episode 2 version then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The same occurred with 2005's Interceptors. I think it's just an old technique used by designers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In-universe the Delta-7 Aethersprite Light Interceptor (episode 2 model) doesn't feature a full droid socket is what I meant. Every lego model featured with a full astromech socket actually has one in-universe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Source(s): Reliable info source How are they going to do it? You'd end up with a headless astromech. Unless they use the 2014 V-wing style and come with an extra astromech droid head.
