Legoman Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) WOW! great find! this looks like the stormtrooper battle pack we are expecting for 2008 8- Edited September 7, 2007 by legoman Quote
Doctor Sinister Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 cool I found this in a BS folder. Looks neat. *y* Wow! A Stormtrooper transport! Just like the one in the X-Wing PC games. Looks very good, I'd snap loads of those up if that were an official set. Dr. S. Quote
UniqueBuilder Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 That's not an official set. *sad* Quote
john cleese Posted September 7, 2007 Author Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) That's not an official set. *sad* well it was in a folder entitled cool sets with the official imperial transport, tie crawler and hoth battle scene set. So i figured it was also an official set. It does look a little fake though. heres the folder Edited September 7, 2007 by john cleese Quote
Plural Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 How did you find this and are you sure its real. It looks cool regardless. Good find. Quote
xwingyoda Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 It might either be the proto of the set or the actual set or nothing at all !! We have no pics yet so we can't say !! But I admit it looks kid of cool, better than the 2 previous BPs cheesy vehicles ;-) *yoda* Quote

We don't know anything at the moment.. :-/ I withdraw my comment. ;-) Quote
Vader Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Would be nice if it was real, but i believe that's a moc. If it is real then i guess it's something from the EU as i've never seen it before. Quote
xwingyoda Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 What makes me think its not the upcomming set is that we see too many extras and not all the mfs !! And *vader* , I'm sure that vehicle is something totally made up ;-) *yoda* Quote

Legoman Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 What makes me think its not the upcomming set is that we see too many extras and not all the mfs !!And *vader* , I'm sure that vehicle is something totally made up ;-) *yoda* well, i think it is real for several reasons 1: we were expecting an imp dropship nxt year anyway 2: lego does release pics of sets without everything in it (eg the origanial lego S@H pic of 7654 only showed the main transport and 2 (or 3) battle droids 3:it was about this time last year we started getting pics of new sets. what do you think?

xwingyoda Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Well, I think the front is way too blocky !! I doubt that TLC would release something like that |-/ Also a dropship is suppose to be a transport of troops I think, and thats clearly not the case !! Don't you think there are too many parts for a BP ?? Maybe a preleminary pic of the set ?? *yoda* Quote
Legoman Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) to me the whole ship minus the engines/missile launches looks like the frount of the Clone turbo tank.but being a battle pack i don't think tlc really cares about the ship, just the figs.to be good enuogh to buy for me it needs at least 1 more stormie.but there are those two extra guns on the rack.thats a good sign isn't it. Edited September 7, 2007 by legoman Quote
xwingyoda Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I'm also suspicious on the colour pattern !! That blue/grey is weird for an OT set |-/ *yoda* Quote
Legoman Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 does DJSaulTNutz still hang round here? hopefully it is what he saw. he did say it included 2 stormies and a pilot.it makes sense... Quote
aayla-secura Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) Wow really cool find ... but i dont think its true dont know , its too fast for new pics , and this set looks like much parts.. ye , please DJ help us! Edited September 7, 2007 by aayla-secura Quote
xwingyoda Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 does DJSaulTNutz still hang round here?hopefully it is what he saw. Or hopefully not (if what he saw is better than that :-P ) I wish he could infirm it or confirm it hehe !! *yoda* Quote
sam89 Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Well here's what DJSaulTNutz said about it before: Trooper, Basically you get stormies, some blue, bley and black pieces with the Empire logo, and a little cockpit with windshield (tinted) ....the stormies ride on the sides of it...kinda like a mini helicopter dropship thingie.... Its just an excuse to sell minifigures.......which works for me!!! It seems to fit pretty well. Quote

I doubt troopers sit INSIDE the ship |-/ At least its fun to see which is right or wrong hehe *yoda* Quote
Vader Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Wow so it does sound like it could be real 8- Quote
Scouty Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I say fake, unfortunately. Notice in the TIE Crawler, and Hoth set, the more recent sets, they have shadows. This set doesn't, or from what I see. And I notice an unusual yellow tint on the back. I can't really be sure if it is or not. It would be pretty cool if it were though! EDIT: I didn't see the above posts...oops :-$ . I'll just wait and see :-) ! Quote
DoubleT Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 A Moc yes, the ship it self got too many bricks, compare it to the clone set this year... But yes lets hope new pics are out soon.. Quote
