Kaitan Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Just a side thought, but seeing the long legged characters from the new "Toy Story" sets, did it make anyone else think " ohhh a proper sized Chewbacca and Darth Vader at last!" ? Quote
Darth Legolas Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Just a side thought, but seeing the long legged characters from the new "Toy Story" sets, did it make anyone else think " ohhh a proper sized Chewbacca and Darth Vader at last!" ? Vader is a human...human sized... not that tall...maybe an inch all together with his helmet and robo-body. Of course, a Chewie would be great like that! But, those legs would never fit properly in a cockpit! I think we should just leave those legs for the clowns who have stilts down their pants! Quote
ILikePi Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Of course, a Chewie would be great like that! But, those legs would never fit properly in a cockpit! You'll just need a cockpit that's three studs long instead of 2! You'll also need a longer chair (one with four studs). But anyways, I don't want the long legs to be used in other themes. It's going to make everything look so weird, since some people in Star Wars are actually much taller than the minifig form, like CW Anakin compared to Ahsoka (look at this picture). It would make everything so weird. Edited July 26, 2009 by ILikePi Quote
Kaitan Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Vader is a human...human sized... not that tall...maybe an inch all together with his helmet and robo-body. okay I know Vader isn't as tall as Chewbacca (David Prowse is 6ft7, Peter Mayhew is 7ft3) but Vader is still about a head taller than most of the other human characters in the films. I just wanted him to look a bit more imposing I guess. Ah well, back to sticking 1x1 plates on his feet. Back on topic. I like the look of the Tantive IV, I think its been well done, but I probably won't get it, I'm not really a ship collector, and the figs are nothing special. Quote
Penitent Tangent Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 The tall legs looks great for Woody, but using them for Star Wars characters would just look.. odd. Quote
The Who Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 The tall legs looks great for Woody, but using them for Star Wars characters would just look.. odd.Well, it's worth a shot. Quote
Commander Flash Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 It'd be twice as disliked than the yellow to Flesh. Long legs go with toy story, not Star Wars Quote
Mraz Skintas Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 I think that the cut vent piece as a small extension works just fine, so I don't see any point in adding these new legs to Star Wars. Quote
CaptainRex110 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) I rather like the collectors cases - nice way to collect some cool minifigs without buying the sets. Personally, I'd pick up one or two, but not at the prices they've started appearing at on eBay (cheapest approx. £60 inc. shipping!). As such it's unlikely I'll ever have any in my collection; I'm happy to collect cool minifigs through buying the cool sets... and at a reasonable price How much are they going for on Ebay? They were $49.99 each at the Lego booth, along with the SDCC mini exclusive. Also, did anyone else get one of the 800 limited edition promo bricks at the Lego booth. The two 4x6 bricks held together with a 1x8 flat brick with "starwars.lego.com" on it said "The Holo-Brick Archives" on them. I got 2 on Sat. and then today, I asked the Lego employees about it, and none of them knew except for one who was a guy from Denmark who was passing them out. He said the the archives was a database of every Lego Star Wars set released with info on it that was going up on Lego.com "soon". He gave me his last one, so now I have three. They look pretty neat. Will upload pictures soon. Edited July 27, 2009 by CaptainRex110 Quote
I Scream Clone Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Check out cartoondudes flickr to see all of the new bounty hunters in Clone Wars Season 2 previewed at Comic Con. Hopefully we will get some awesome sets featuring great characters like Boosk! Aurrasing Cad Bane etc Quote
pedro Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Hopefully we will get some awesome sets featuring great characters like Boosk! There was me just putting the finishing touches on my Trandoshan bounty hunters and now it's likely we'll get a Bossk/Trandoshan head There are some great characters there but Bossk and Aurra will win it for me! Quote
The Nightwing Reborn Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 The Bounty Hunters interest me. I would really like a Cad Bane just so I could make an Ellorrs Madak. The Zabrak and other fellow look cool, but Aurra and Bossk would have to be top priority. Then again I do love Zabraks... Quote

Here's the archives so far - Obviously not finished. Put "starwars.lego.com/holobrick" into your address bar. Also, one of the bricks I got, had another half of one (the clone half) holding the two halves together on the back. It was the last one the guy had. Edited July 28, 2009 by CaptainRex110 Quote

I can't wait to see it when it's finished! Also, one of the bricks I got, had another half of one (the clone half) holding the two halves together on the back. It was the last one the guy had.I don't really understand what you're trying to say. Can you post a picture? Quote

hollisbrick Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Yay! Bounty hunters! My favorite people in the SW. I can't wait to see these as gigs! Or maybe even a Boba Fett Quote
HumanPackMule Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 After watching the Clone Wars episode with the Clones in cold weather gear, I'm 100% sure that one of the new battlepacks seen in the video a while back will include the cold weather clones. I'm also sure that the vehicle it comes with will be on of the enclosed cockpit speeder bikes from the same episode. If you still think the sets will be from OT, why is the packaging in the CW style?

Commander Flash Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Same reason the Midi Scale Millenium Falcon is, just the boxing of the wave Quote
Snake...SNAKE...SNAAAAKE?! Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Whoa! Go on the Lego Shop website and look! Tantive IV delayed to September 09 Quote
mutley777 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Whoa!Go on the Lego Shop website and look! Tantive IV delayed to September 09 Still says august for me Quote
