[chewie]

oh that kinda sucks....

[Sarg_Kulo]

I know tell em about it.

I'm still gonna get a few to experiment on though

[chewie]

yeah im thinking im might get the one with yoda darth vader and..i forget who else just cause then i have the little figs to display even if i cant use them as much as a normal minifig

Question: if you place them close together, do they knock one another over/pull together? :P

Not a very good thing to happen during a royal march ;)

[chewie]

hmmm good question cause if they all stick to a fridge they will have the same magnets so...im thinking they wont cause as everyone knows N and N do not attract and S and S being the same

But S/S N/N push away as strongly as N/S pull together.

I guess you could use the magnets as a kind of "Force-kick" action. Hard to believe it, but they actually have a force-kick move in the movie!

Anyhoo, didn't Orlego the mighty just confirm on the page before that the figures were indeed able to be dismantled?

But they have magnets in the torso and the legs.

Umm... Perhaps a force explosion move? :-D

Anyhoo, I'm sure they won't be that strong, afterall, you don't want them to be permanently stuck to the fridge. :oD

[Sarg_Kulo]

You can take them apart? I wish someone would get one and tell us |-/

[Bricks0937]

LOL. When you say "pissed" over here it means drunk ;)

[chewie]

lol a drunk guy in the park looking for little magnetic guys...... ;)

[Sarg_Kulo]

I think I saw one of them last week ;)

Any otehr clone trooper magnets or is it just green for now?

[jonfett]

As far as we know there are only 2 sets:-

851228: Darth Vader, Chewbacca, and Obi Wan Kenobi.

851229: Yoda, Anakin, and Green Clone.

So currently there is only 1 clone. Maybe we will see more magnet sets in the future?

I hope to go down to the Lego store in Birmingham next weekend, I will see if I can get some then.

Jon.

[Sarg_Kulo]

How about:

-White Clone

-Red Clone

-Pilot (I doubt they'd make a Commander)

[stb]

@jonfett: set 851228: Are those minifigs classic ones (I guess at least Darth Vader and Chewbacca are, so what about Mr. Kenobi)?

If there are more sets comming, I hope LEGO will distinguish between Classic and Episode I,II,II ones. In the past I had to buy Episode I Mini Sets to get e.g. the Y-Wing parts. :( 851229 contains just one minifig I'm interested in.

I'd assume that since everything seems to be Ep. III (otherwise they'd do Luke instead of Chewie or something) that Obi is his ROTS version. But, I could be wrong!

[Sarg_Kulo]

Kenobi very probably will be ROTS version.

We still need more of these. 6 just ain't good enough. This could be the closest thing we will ever get to minifig packs

[stan]

Yoda is normal with green lightsabre.

Anakin is like in the starfighter set with hair and mouthpiece thing with blue lightsabre.

Green clone trooper same as wookie catamaran set.

Chewbacca is redish brown.

Darth vader is like the original version with less scars and has eyebrows on face with red lightsabre and black cape.

Obi wan is like the ultimate lightsabre duel, but normal blue lightsabre, not lightup, with hood, and brown cape.

[Sarg_Kulo]

You got the magnets stan? Care to tell us how customizable they are? (if you do have them)

[stan]

By Customizeable you mean take apartable?

You can take all the helmets and hair off.

Heads come off with a bit of effort.

Hands and arms are normal and light sabres are normal.

Legs cannot come off, dont know why because the magnets are in the legs.

[Starwars4J]

I thought the legs could come off, just not the hips. Is that what you meant, or can the legs really not come off? I actually liked the idea of the magnets, and was thinking of swapping the legs with a few of my customs to create some nice scenes...

[stan]

Yea, you can take the individual legs off, but the hips are attached.
