I think it's general rieekan, who was available in the battle of hoth set.

Then I guess that pretty much makes this an Empire Strikes Back calendar, though it weirdly has a Tatooine Luke on the ceiling and a Clone Trooper. (Surprised it's not a Snowtrooper, though we did get one in 2012.) I also guess that's supposed to be an R4-series droid, though none of those were in ESB. So...maybe I have no idea what film this is supposed to represent.

I'm hoping the clone is a movie version of the 501st. Best way for them to distribute it without a kill all the younglings vibe. Hopefully there is a helmet in addition to the Santa hat

NB: Frix is easily made from a Y-Wing Pilot helmet and a Lando face.

I'm hoping generic B-Wing pilot and Nien Numb rather than Ten Numb.

It would still be neat if somebody sends TLG his picture and character info and kinda suggests that "gee wouldn't it be great to get some more diverse minifigs that aren't Billy D Williams or Samuel L Jackson?

At the risk of pushing this conversation further along a tangent that's right on the line between on-topic and off-topic, didn't we get a Bespin guard with a brown head and classic smiley print? So it's not unheard of to get a background character in a color other than flesh/yellow.

Hooooo boy, the exact same Snowspeeder repackaged and re-sold yet again! :facepalm:

It was cool back in 2004, TLG. Ten years later, an actual re-design would be nice.

Agreed. And those missiles coming out from underneath the T-47 look like something off of a Hasbro action figure vehicle. :sick:

Given that it's an inexpensive set, though, I think it could be used as an army builder.

If that doesn't work then there is this one,

:sick: . Lego just refuses to fix the canopy on the snowspeeder, its almost like they are proud of it. I'm pretty sure the final version isn't going to be much different. The phantom looks like a piece of crap, they could have at least added some more slopes, so lazy. B-wing looks okay for a preliminary, still better than the crappy snowspeeder.

I like how they've been doing taller boxes these recent years. They look cool.

-Sci

They're just the "$15" boxes rotated 90 degrees. :poke:

I see what you mean, though. It'd be cool to see the $60 boxes done this way.

inexpensive

It´s 27 to 35€, that´s not inexpensive. Especially considering Snowspeeders are small enough that you could put one in a 20€ set, maybe even a Battlepack.

army builder

Not at all with those grey markings, not a single orange part and Luke/Ralter yet again as pilots.

Really thought they would finally do a redesign this year since the X-Wing got one 2012 already and was released 2004 too.

It feels like they just don´t give a crap with Hoth. Slave One, Prequel stuff, Falcon, B-Wing. Pretty much everything has some thought put into it and changes some stuff that didn´t quite work right when they do a redesign but AT-AT and Snowspeeder are all the same set with wrong colorschemes, weird proportions that could be designed better and no effort put into the structure of the AT-AT. Grey Snowspeeder in a much smaller size and AT-AT with more movie accurate legs, a sturdy beam structure like with the new Clone Tank/AT-TE would work wonders. I already sold my old Snowspeeders and looked forward to some new ones that fit better.

Oh well, one day.

Holy crap, the Ghost has over 1100 pieces?! And for only $90? Or is that just a screw up and their including the piece count of the Phantom too? And can anyone make out the names of the figures in the Ghost?

Ignoring color, the Ghost doesn't look that bad. It might be a bit on the short side (I'd say 'squat', but that doesn't seem to read right to me when referring to length instead of height.), but the shaping reminds me of the two Old Republic ships we got, which I thought was done really well for a System set.

I've seen the catalog. The figures are Ezra Bridger, Kannan Jarrus, Hera Syndulla, and a Stormtrooper.

I know I have been complaining a bit too much today, but what is up with the snow speeder? The guy at the london toy fair said that it looked more accurate to the actual thing, instead like most people have said it looks the exact same but with the missiles added to it.

The Ghost on the other hand was the one I thought was going to turn out ugly, but it looks pretty cool, especially for an early picture. But I doubt that it's going to be $90 since it has 1100 pieces, but it still shouldn't be that expensive.

Kannan Jarrus sounds like Can 'n Jars. A very silly name indeed. Also yes, please please please lego, let the figs appear relatively the same as normal figs!
