I'm glad the AT-ST seems to have a walking feature. I always hate it when they release walkers that can't walk. I mean come on, you have the pieces available to provide enough rigid support to give it proper mobility. It looks great, certainly the most accurate version to date. I hope the interior looks good. I really like the whole wave. Krennics ship looks fantastic, minus the underside of the wings as always, but the accuracy of the design and the way the panels all line up and having the canopy fitting perfectly, I don't know, there's just something very aesthetically pleasing about that. I quite like the hovertank too, and its price and minifig selection makes it a very affordable and desirable purchase. The figs for the AT-ST are great as well.

Yeah, I'm curious if any of the rebel troopers included in this wave are going to be exclusive, and not included in a battlepack in 2017.

2 of the 3 troopers have the same torso prints, 2 of them have a brand new helmet mold and the other is a recolor of the endor commando one.

I agree. The Rogue One wave is definitely the best wave this year, and I daresay even better than last year's initial TFA wave. All the sets are appealing to me.

If the feature you are talking about is the wheel on the back, that is actually meant to turn the head.

Interior is a little cramped and it can only hold one fig, which is ok I guess.

I'm really excited for the Rogue One wave. At first I didn't like Krennic's Shuttle but now it looks like the best set of the wave. All of the builds and minifigures look great. Considering the wave as a whole, $300 for 2,899 pieces and 21 minifigures isn't bad.

Great to see some pictures in details. :thumbup:

I really wish TLG would make up their mind, either they print the belt on the legconnection or on the torso, but stop this 50 - 50 nonsense... I like to have consistency.

I love that the AT-ST got an update, cockpit look great, not so sure about the legs... May need to moc those a bit. :wink:

Who is that light grey Officer (Death Star) supposed to represent? Is he from a different group in the Imperial Army maybe, I have never seen this uniform before...

Someone posted a picture a few pages back, but it looks like he represents one of the officers that walks by in the Death Star while Han and Luke disguised as stormtroopers wait for the elevator/turbolift. Only problem is that guy didn't have sideburns.

That's lame that the Imperial Officer has the same face as the one from the 75055 Star Destroyer. I was hoping that we would get more named officers from the conference room scene.

Does the U-Wing pilot have the type of style of helmets like the resistance pilot were the visor is part of the helmet or is the visor printed on the face

I also think Krennic's Shuttle is the best of the wave. If I get it, it may be the only Rogue One set I get.

Shame the AT ST only sits one, that was my grievance with the last lot. Oh well, still a great set.

That interior definitely looks like it could fit two. (After all, Larry Lars fit two into the 8038 AT-ST.) But once they decided they were only going to include one driver minifig, I imagine they didn't want to confuse anyone by adding a second seat.

I think it's printed.

I inferred from the set description that it has a walking feature. It certainly made it sound like it has one, in that case I'm a little disappointed. The legs better have decent poseabillity, though it appears the feet are pretty much locked in place. It frustrates me to no end when TLG gives us walkers that can barely bend there legs when there's no reason why they couldn't. The interior is lacking and additional seat, that's unfortunate. It's still the best one we've gotten though so it's still a must have for me.

I just scowered LEGO's website and I gotta say, I'm even more impressed by the Rogue One sets, with the exception of the AT-ST, really LEGO? the poseabillity in the legs is awful! You can do better. I don't think they'll be any better than the AT-AP from Rebels. At least it looks as good. I absolutely love Krennic's Shuttle and the U-Wing has pretty much won me over, especially with the wings folded back. I'm very happy that the Hovertank actually has a fairly decent interior space and the TIE Striker is a beautiful build from nearly every angle. It's going to be tough to decide which ones to get as I have a limited budget.

Just saw that scene, an officer dressed in light grey does indeed pass by, seems to be some sort of officer for ground forces. Nice that they added him. :)

The Rogue One sets look amazing. TLG really got it right this time after the small mistakes from TFA line, mainly Kylo's shuttle being DBG and the wings not folding. I never had an AT-ST set so I will definitely be purchasing this one and throwing in another driver. The only issue I have with this wave is that the U-Wing has orange pieces in the back of the engines when they are clearly blue in the trailer.
