For some reason, we got them earlier in Germany, which is unusual, but I don't complain, even though I prefer the English dub.

You can watch them for free (if you have a German IP, I guess):

But I recommend watching them on the big TV screen, and the stream does not seem to allow the quality...

So I'm guessing they are in German.

Greedo doesn't look final to me. It almost looks like they used Wald's head. I guess maybe they just decided to use a different color for him, that's sort of disappointing, I kind of think the older version was better. Maybe it will grow on me...

Vader's interesting. His head almost looks glow in the dark. The eyes are bizarre...

Well already this year is looking amazing! :wub: I can't wait to see more detailed pictures of the sets. I really do love the cantina set, I just wish it came with more minifigures and a bit more of a detailed bar. Other than that though that set is absolutely amazing. :grin: When do we usually find out about the two exclusives?

Thanks for the links!

Maybe it's me but i get the impression that at least some minifigs are not yet finished in either color or accessories. Greedo looks so 1999'ish. Despite the printing, Ben also looks a little incomplete without a cape. Many other minifigs seem to be bleached or simply lack solid differentiation of similar colors.

Ugh. Looks like they modeled the B-Wing helmet after what is actually a Y-Wing helmet. That's a little disappointing. Still very impressive figures though.

The B-Wing figs looks great, love that new pilot! Technician is good too, not to distinctive legs & torso which will be useful for mocs.

The Jedi Hunter figs are great too (except for Jek-14 which is not very useful for anything except... Jek-14).

Overall a nice wave for us OT folks, and rightfully so after the previous lineup of PT stuff... :sick:

Awesome figures - just 'wow', those B Wing figures...speachless

Why does every fig have leg printing - but the snow trooper? How does the AT AT pilot get leg printing but not the snowtrooper - did the money run out at that exact moment?!

Most of the sets look sensational - the millenium falcon-esque Rebels ship is glorious, wonder what the opening sections are for. The snowspeeder looks to be the best yet, the Cantina is great and Jek's ship and the B Wing are just lovely.

We'll need some much better picture of the ISD and AT AT to make any call - the AT AT appears to have an empty interior? The ISD interior is a bit facical but I'll settle for the figures.

The Jedi Scout Fighter 75051 is completely new to me, haven't seen pics of it, heard the name, etc. I assume it's from SW: Rebels? Not a must buy but I do like it.

Outstanding to see some new stuff from the fair. I'm sure there are more details to soak in.

There will be a lot of incentive to get more than one 75052 Cantina, I think. It seems obvious to buy two and make an enclosed-space version... with a few spare bits it could really rock. And you'd have a full Bith band with a spare.

These pics (thanks for the link) confirm my suspicions that TLG may have nailed this one! The Cantina will be the set to get for me this summer. The Rebels stuff can wait.

Hey, look at the pictures of that Jedi Scout Fighter... in some you can see the beauty of the exterior/facade of the rear of the Cantina. The details are spectacular! :thumbup: We have got to see views of the reserve side of this kit.

We really have been spoilt, for me every set has something brilliant to offer. I so happy that I'm gonna sell all of my figs that I have multiples of, that dewback is this years highlight for me!!

Wow! Overall the sets look absolutely fantastic. Still disappointed at the lack of certain mini figures in the Cantina, but the set itself is gorgeous, and I'll be buying two.

Anyone else notice that the mini holographic Emperor Palpatine in the Star Destroyer is a completely new mold?! I definitely wasn't expecting them to go above and beyond like that.

Posted

Wow, didn't realise we were getting an Ithorian! And the cantina looks great, hopefully it'll have an acceptable price in the UK (As low as £60?)

Not sure about the stormtrooper design mould though, they've been the same since 1999 almost.

Ugh. Looks like they modeled the B-Wing helmet after what is actually a Y-Wing helmet. That's a little disappointing. Still very impressive figures though.

No, it's much better than that, they have given us a b-wing helmet on Nien Nunb and a full ROTJ y-wing pilot. This is absolutely fantastic news, the Y-Wing pilot looks incredible.

Wonder why there's brick separators in a lot of the pics? New inclusion in larger sets? or just a messy display?

I guess they are supposed to come with the new wave's sets. TLG already did that with larger LOTR sets in the past.

Had a closer look at the sets again and quite some of my hopes have come true. ISD, cantina and B-Wing will definitely be added to my collection. However, i am still puzzling about the prices in Germany. USA pricing seems reasonable but i do remember Jabba's Palace (139.99 EUR) all too well. Had to wait ages until a general price drop inevitably happened...

Hopefully we will get some more close shots of the destroyer soon! :sweet:

The new Mos Eisley set looks really good, although the Dewback looks a bit too realistic for me somehow :look: Ah well, it's a must buy for me anyway, and it's great to finally have a set that I'm looking forward to building!

The same here! The only trouble with knowing that these sets are coming is that we have to wait until August for them... :hmpf_bad::classic:

Ooh la la!

Most of the stuff is looking pretty amazing. I'd like to see some more details and good pics on the figs and the isd, and the boxes (the names are more or less blurry on the boxes).

Why doesn't greedo have his printed arms?

That droid with the Jek set is also thumbs up. I need him and the Ithorian.
