Tariq j Posted February 19, 2017 In comparison to hachiroku's video the guys in the video were placing the helmet at the wrong position in the clasp. They needed to place the helmet at a lower position so that the top half of the head was in the clasp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lobot Posted February 19, 2017 23 minutes ago, DEAD1974 said: sure so show me on this video how it fit ... The mechanism used in Vader's Transformation looks almost identical to the one in the Carbonite Chamber from last year; the top 'octagonal' design is also very similar albeit with a different colour scheme. The larger brick-built droid looks good, but it's a bit of a shame that they didn't re-use the 2-1B from 8096 though, but I guess you can't have everything. The more I see the set, the more I'm convinced that it will be a great seller for TLG - I'm assuming that the UK's pricing will be £20-£25... which seems reasonable for that sized set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legoman123 Posted February 19, 2017 For me it was a pleasant surprise to find out that we are getting medical droids included in the Vader Transformation set as initially it was reported that we were just receiving 3 minifigures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brick built droids aren't "minifigures", so we are only getting 3. I think there was earlier mention of them being included as builds. Without them I think the set would be a bit plain.

Since then I've referred to them as minifigures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikhkin Posted February 19, 2017 Ah, well I could be wrong. Although, since we've been basing a lot of prior discussion on leaks and rumours, it depends mostly upon the opinion of the leaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickBob Studpants Posted February 19, 2017 Some random observations: - the shields in the FO battlepack look great and I can totally see them being reused in other themes The redesign of the batons is also welcome - The droid on the spoilerific Nuremberg TF picture that I've found a while ago is in the Vader Transformation after all... Weird though that it's not counted as a minifig, droids usually are. - Quarrie being included in the Arrowhead is a nice surprise That set also introduces a new colour for the spring-loaded shooter amo (trans-light blue) - Previous advent calendars were restricted to PT/OT stuff while this one exclusively features characters and vehicles from Rebels, TFA and RO. Maybe there was a specific license-related reason why they held back on the new material? - I didn't even notice that there was a black Rathtar in the movie, I previously thought they were all red, but there definitely are colour variations Nice attention to detail on the designer's part Too bad though they reduced the Death gang members down to two... I guess the Rathars got 'em - I'm glad the Quadjumper does what it's supposed to: blow up I'm still mad about the lack of new minifigs, they could at least have given us new faceprints for Finn and Rey. Han also got a new one, so why not these two? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roadstermatt Posted February 19, 2017 I definitely be getting the battle packs, the quad jumper and the Vader transformation one the two "rebels" sets vehicles look appealing plus I will be buying my first buildable figure the biker scout and speeder bike look excellent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BenKenobiWan Posted February 19, 2017 Several Battlepacks, the Quad Jumper and Rathtar Escape are all first on my list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Borex Posted February 19, 2017 At the moment the Quadjumper is my number one set. I don't own TFA sets, so this will be my first. The only thing i do not like is that the cockpit has gaps on its side. This vehicle could be used for all kinda sceneries, and even for other sci-fi stuff. Good choice Lego! Too bad the bounty hunter bp was still a preproduction version, because i'm really hyped for this one. I expect 4-Lom to have a different headpiece of course, and i expect a better Bossk. The Rahtar set is a bit of a mess on pictures, but i think in hand it will be much better. The figs are great, and the Rahtars will suffice. The whips on them are good for grabbing the top, and they are superposable. Yeah, i think i really like this set as well. Those freemakers. Is there a new series in the making? Loving the (Ralph Mc)Quarrie fig. New Aliens!! Will i buy these? Nope. Plus i must say that the buildable Biker Scout looks very good. I might even be buying it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were quite a few background characters they could have included but I get why they didn't choose one of those because they're probably not worth the new moulds they'd require (like Bobbajo). Another possibility would have been a different thug, or did Unkar really only have these two dudes at his disposal? As previously mentioned, I also would have accepted new faceprints for Rey and Finn (e.g. angry or scared ones), but oh well. At least the ship's nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StarWars8Spoiler Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) @Lego-Freak, you beat me by 5 seconds. I was gonna post that too! But yeah, that's the black rathtar they've seemed to base the LEGO one off of. Edited February 19, 2017 by ChristopherLee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaderFan2187 Posted February 19, 2017 Is it sad how in a summer wave, the sets I'm most hyped for are the cheapest sets? Vader's Transformation = Tank = Looks a little small to me, but I'm just used to the previous one's scale. Overall Bounty Hunter BP = No question First Order BP = Quadjumper = Ehh, oddly appealing (even though I have Rey and Finn already), but for the price I'd much rather buy the larger TLBM Batmobile. Advent Calendar = This may surprise some, but this may be my first advent calendar purchase. I don't have Sabine yet, another Imperial Officer would be nice (though apparently they all look the same), and I need a BB-8. Freemaker stuff = They look cool, but only one should have been made and the other slot used for canon stuff Rathtar Escape = Looks horribly messy in pics, so will wait for final box art to judge Jedi Starfighter = I want images!! If the set is pretty good then I definitely will want this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forresto Posted February 19, 2017 10 hours ago, Kevii23 said: <snip> Wow I am so unimpressed and dissapointed by these Rathtars. I wouldve much rathered (no pun intended ) a smaller set (Did we need the tan office?) And a single molded Rathtar with slots to add tentacles. I mean they barely look like their film counterparts. Instead of an angry ball these look like weird squid Aquazone abominations that never made production. Bump the set up to a hundred price tag and I wouldve bought it if they had a molded Rathtar. The set is about the Rathars, its in the title. How did they boggle this up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just now, Forresto said: Instead of an angry ball these look like weird squid Aquazone abominations that never made production. Agreed. They don't really looks like the spherical creatures that the Rathtars are. EDIT: Also I am greatly disturbed by how all of the figures, except Han, in the Rathtar set use stud shooters.

hachiroku Posted February 19, 2017 I built one (and I will upload it to my channel tomorrow and I'm making the rathtars scene in stop motion too :D) and I like it a lot. I was a little dissapointed too, but it looks very organic and animated. Obviously the molded version of the game would be way better, but this one doesn't looks that bad like in these pictures.

I also quite like how Lego have included the Republic Logo on the floor in white just like in the film. Edited February 19, 2017 by Tariq j Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
