lightningtiger Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 We may only need to wait a week or so for pictures from New York for US summer sets, but Hoth base.....could it be a ComicCon release ? So as Yoda would say, 'Patience' ! Quote
Ceroknight Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 might get the speeder, depends on how much of it is printed.. Thank you for the pictures! Quote
Batman1 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Wow!! Thanks for the new pics kris kelvin I think the dathomir speeder looks fantastic and the new anikan and ventress figs are welcome to my collection! The falcon looks great and leia looks new? Or am I just imagining it? Ewok attack also looks great with those reallly cool new ewoks Thanks for reading, Batman1± Quote
Future74 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the pictures Kris Kelvin Havent been on for a few days and astonished about the new info. I love the new MF; yes, it looks similar but they solved the issue of opening when the MF is upside down. Lots of details are different too, for instance the cockpit attachement. Curious as to what has changed inside. I'm looking forward to (almost) all new minifigures. There hasnt been a year to my knowledge that so many new ones are released. Great job TLC!

Brickdoctor Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Large pics! Thank you, kris kelvin! The Dathomir Speeder Sith Nightspeeder (What the MegaBloks?) doesn't look so bad, it's got some nice SNOT work, but that's a ton of stickers for a set of that size. Some people will be happy to see the updated Ventress and Anakin 'figs, though. The RGS Ventress remains exclusive... MF...meh. Seriously, how hard is it to put the mandible plating partially under the top half of the hull? Now there's a MegaBlokin-ugly gap between the mandible's outer edge and the disc. Ewok Attack...can't say the tree is the greatest, but Logray is . And I see they gave Tokkat a name, too. Even though he should have brown fur. Quote
Ceroknight Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I just noticed the preliminary sticker on the corner of some pictures...is it still okay to post them? And Leia looks... Quote

Batman1 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I don`t know. I will go to jail. Do you have pictures of the other sets from the summer range, or are these the only ones available to you at the moment? Thanks, Batman1± Quote
Brickdoctor Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I just noticed the preliminary sticker on the corner of some pictures...is it still okay to post them? Not sure. They aren't stamped, but then again, they aren't TLG's pics. I saved them for private viewing just in case. And Leia looks... My gosh, you're right! Like they tried to give her pupils and color her eyes blue. Quote
Brickadeer Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I must admit that the Dathomir Speeder looks better than I thought I'd look. The Falcon looks better than 4504; its front parts (the two "triangles") seem to be a bit longer, and so is the cockpit; and the diameter of the big part seems to be slightly bigger. On the photo posted here, the cockpit fits much better to the rest of the Falcon compared to 4504. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 How can you tell that Leia looks ? Even on the biggest resolution of the image I can't really tell what her face looks like. I just think it was high time for a Han classic torso redo. Honestly, that torso has never changed (besides for getting flesh color)! That blank, featureless chest has always looked crappy, and I would think LEGO would redo it by now. They redid Luke, and his printing was already pretty good. Quote
r4-g9 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 it looks like the dathomir speeder has anikan and ventress in the new clothes. Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Again today 'kris' you have surprised us and thank you for these shots. Do I spy a new CW torso for Anakin is it or I'm mistaken ? The MF is fantastic, must convince wife to buy me that for my birthday in August ! Ewok's....hmmm, this cannot be an expensive set.....no Jedi or main human characters, just a scout trooper on a speederbike - I'll get it anyway.....ouch my back pocket again ! Yoda would say 'Mmmmm, buy these you must.! Quote
Clone OPatra Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Do I spy a new CW torso for Anakin is it or I'm mistaken ? Yes, it's a new torso. So, it seems LEGO has changed the speederbike again. Not that it would be very difficult to MOD it to be exactly the same as the Battle of Endor ones, but really, those looked better. That bigger brown piece on the top just looks bad, and I find the lack of lightsaber blades on the front disturbing. I guess LEGO just needs to keep up its record of never releasing two sets with the same Endor speeder bike. Going strong with four different models, though, as I said, the differences between this one and the Battle of Endor ones are quite slight. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 How can you tell that Leia looks ? There's something wrong about it. Looks like here hairline receded, libs got skinnier, and her eyes got closer together. Maybe it's just perspective, since looking at that list they're all related to a skinnier or taller picture. So, it seems LEGO has changed the speederbike again. Not that it would be very difficult to MOD it to be exactly the same as the Battle of Endor ones, but really, those looked better. That bigger brown piece on the top just looks bad, and I find the lack of lightsaber blades on the front disturbing. I think they decided to go with the lances instead of 6L bars, like in the Hoth BP. Quote
Penitent Tangent Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Really happy to see that Anakin and Ventress have new torso's and they used the costume she used briefly from the Tartakovsky shorts, rather than her Nighsisters one. And it makes getting another Anakin a bit less boring. The set definitely looks better than it did in the early shots too, will likely be worth getting for the figs alone though. Really loving the MF, I've been waiting for a chance to get one of these and it looks excellent. Still quite disappointed with the Ewok Attack though. Would have preferred something a bit bigger, like last years Wampa cave. Quote
prateek Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Meh. Leia's hair is too ugly, but the MF is a decent update. The Ewok Attack only interests me if I manage to get the Battle of Endor. Quote
SWMAN Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Once again the OT is kind of getting the shaft. The Millenium Falcon looks like a slightly retooled version of the last one, and the Ewok Attack is disappointing. Why not include a couple Rebel Endor Troopers in the set and at least one more Imperial? Seems like a waste of a set. Quote
Blackknight112 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Wow the new sets are really cool, but all the figs seem weird/cartonish/ugly to me. I think lego is to much focussed on the "new" figs. The sets are really cool though.I sometimes have the feeling lego star wars is going to die, and that lego will try to get allot of money as possible in a short time.

General Magma Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Thanks for the new pics! Hoping to see the rest soon too.. And the interiors. Millennium Falcon: Some parts here and there that need serious fixing.. Cockpit is too big, gaps, etc. But other than that it looks great, and I'm glad to be able to have my own Falcon. Could use some modding. Leia's new hairpiece looks ugly, but the rest of the figures are great. Ewok Attack: The speeder bike is an issue, made a better version myself already, the tree is meh but features great parts... But then, the Ewoks. The black furred Ewok is great, but Logray.. Fantastic. I was right about him being my favorite fig of wave 2 (and the year for that matter) from the beginning. ~ General Magma Quote
Cad Bane Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Is it just me or are Savage's front horns yellow. This picture clearly depicts him with black horns all 'round, but this one doesn't. It would appear that he has yellow horns. Fingers crossed that that is preliminary. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Good catch Cad Bane, that certainly is a difference. Hopefully the box is a little preliminary, and his figure will have black horns all around. The yellow ones certainly are ugly. The positioning of Anakin on that box is also a little funny; it looks like he's staring off in another direction and not paying attention to the fight. I know LEGO always cheats out the figs so that you can clearly see them on the packaging, but it's a bit much in that image. Quote
Fallenangel Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 The Falcon looks better than 4504; its front parts (the two "triangles") seem to be a bit longer, and so is the cockpit; and the diameter of the big part seems to be slightly bigger. On the photo posted here, the cockpit fits much better to the rest of the Falcon compared to 4504. I wouldn't say so. Although the mandibles are bigger, the port mandible isn't very well integrated with the rest of the ship, making it look unfinished. The cockpit appears to be even more massive than before (and they're still using that darn elongated piece), and despite that they still haven't managed to seat four. The equipment access bays have actually been shrunk, which is another step back. And the single pair of lights in the front just looks weird; they should have just left it as a tile. Quote
CMP Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 In other news, Anakin's new clothing is nice. Can't wait for a new Ahsoka/Obi-Wan set. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 It's really nice to see Anakin and Assajj having their appropriate new and updated CW outfits. Now this set becomes a must-buy due to these three 'new' minifigs. Thanks for pointing this out Cad Bane and to Kris for the new pics! Quote
