I hadn't seen the TIE Defender listed before - yet another EU TIE Fighter.

So i notice theres no mention of The Twilight, i guess that the Tie Defender has replaced it or the twilight was never part of the list.

so the at-te and the gunships are entirely new builds or remakes? |-/

V-19, magna droid, fighter tank... never heard of it... that's expanded universe?

We'll have to wait for pictures, then!

V-19, magna droid, fighter tank... never heard of it... that's expanded universe?

The V-19 Torrent featured in the first series of the Clone Wars, the very first episode, even.

The magna droid (I believe) featured in Episode III.

I'm not sure what the fighter tank is, though.

I think this is the tank it means, but i know theres another type which the empire used. It was basically the same tank but with a recolour.

I'm really psyched that there making a RGS and and AT-TE and i hope they come with ARC troopers because... well... they just look awesome! :-)

I'm looking forward to theses sets after the general "meh" the earlier stuff is.

I'm going to buy the Tie defender, it takes me back to my "tie fighter" years

i also vaguely remember reading about someone who has/can get pics of theses, any one have more info/knows what i'm on about?

EDIT:

Found it

Today, when I visit a local LEGO shop (not ToyRus), I notice that from shopowner's buyer guide (for merchandiser only), there are new sets of SW 2008 containing Clone Trooper Ep2. One of them is a re-released(modified) AT-TE which shall be released at the second half of the year.

Great news for all EP2 Clone's fans!!!

I already have the original gunship and at-te, but with some great new redisigns I dont know If I could resist again - darn you tlc, and taking up all my money, I already was short and then theyll release these.

Gah! I am really anticipating pictures of them though, this sounds excellent. Id better start saving even more..

Thanks for the info, lets me plan ahead

This looks like a great list of sets, it sure is going to be an expensive summer. Finally I'll be able to pick up multiple RGS and AT-TE's, a great battle will be on it's way.

AT-TE and RGS - please noooooooo!

I suspect they'll be great sets, but I simply don't have the space. I really don't know what I'll do. I'm already wondering where the hell I'm gonna put that AT-AT that I haven't bought get!

TIE Defender - great. This one I'm most looking forward to.

Posted

WOW Those sets better be big for those prices!! I honestly do not know how they expext to convince me to pay $50 for the Torrent and TX Tank because the ships are smaller (both 2 person).

I'm iffy on the Magna Fighter because although I don't know what the ship looks like, I hope they don't do the Magna Droids (GG's bodyguards) an injustice by using the normal droid body or making them like IG-88.

I love the idea of a TIE Defender but I wonder if they will include a stand for this awkward ship.

I think the AT-TE could beat out the Gunship because at that price (I am sorry if this disturbs you) it could be a UCS Gunship and that means no (or few) clones. I know you'll scream bloody murder but think, doesn't TLC release at least one UCS a year in the $100 - $200 range, and I think (but I hope I am incorrect) that this might be it. I do however think that the AT-TE will be the best set for the price they ask.

Despite these misgivings, I will most likely end up with all of these at great pain to my bank account.

A UCS RGS would look great, too- that'd look so good hanging from the ceiling... 8-

The Tie Defender eh, that is one great ship *wub* . I wonder if the RGS will be to much different from the first model. I have seen quite a few mocs of this set in my time but none are drasticly different from the first release. The only real change people try to make is to the side and wing gun pods.

Anybody know what a Magna Droid Fighter (7673) is supposed to look like? On wookieepedia I could only find a reference to Magna Droids themselves (personal bodyguards of Grievous), but there was no mention of a special fighter. 8-|

X-O X-O X-O

A Tie DEFENDER?

That was always my favourite ship! *wub* (Yes, I DO know it hasn't appeared in the films, but I AM a SW fan). I can't wait to see it, it kind of annoyed me that the empire didn't put them into mass production because of the high cost, they were so cool. I remember playing a TIE game versing one of these little buggers, they always killed me.

I also look forward to seeing the Death Star, hopefully it comes with great figs and scenes :'-)

Nothing to Say, but Batbrick in a galaxy far, far Away! >:-)

I have some serious doubts about these prices really... A V19 Torrent is smaller in size than a TIE Defender, yet it looks like the V19 is about twice as expensive; and I find that hard to believe;, especially since having seen pictures of the V19 on brickshelf. This means that either the V19 comes with a LOT of extras, or these prices are wrong, and personally I think the latter is the case. It also does not follow LEGO's price build-up for series of products, which normally have different ranges thus affordable for anyone. I really cannot imagine LEGO releasing THAT many sets at the +50$ range, and again, I have some doubts...
