Combee Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Now in the Imperial Death Star BP.....the helmet on each gunner doesn't look right.....they look like helmets from Kingdom's ? Haha good call! I'm assuming those are stand-ins for a new element like this: Quote
lightningtiger Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 They could all be exclusives, maybe not in every country though. Funny, no really big sets so to speak apart from the walker......every thing is small to medium sized.....perhaps Lego realise parents might not as much ready cash to spend on their kid's Lego habbit ?

Gremer Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Did anyone else notice that the Vulture Droid comes with a Neimoidian Warrior? Quote
Combee Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Hmm... looking at the Chewbacca image closely.. does he have slightly taller legs? That would certainly be nice. Quote
lightningtiger Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Haha good call! I'm assuming those are stand-ins for a new element like this: [snip] Oh, I hope so.....those others really look crappy ! Edited August 15, 2013 by Brickdoctor Please don't quote images from recent posts. Quote
Lord Rahl of Clannad Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Many of these sets look incredibly dull. The "Microfighters" are good for younger builders and possibly good part packs and army builders, but apart from that they appear to be very poor. The Battle of Saleucami looks pretty good; as does the Grievous' Wheel Bike (despite the lack of a Boga). The battle packs are so far the highlights of this wave IMO. The Kashyyyk Battle Pack has a great group of minifigures, and I will certainly pick up at least 1 of those. As for the Imperial Battle Pack, all I can say is: EPIC!!! Finally a chance for me to get some Imperial Guards. I'll be picking up multiples for sure. I'm not seeing the Battle of Utapau, the Droid Tri-Fighter, the Republic AV-7 Anti-Vehicle Cannon or the Coruscant Police Gunship. I suppose that there are more preliminaries to come, and I'm presuming that 1 or 2 of these sets are exclusives. Either way, this is currently looking to be a cheap wave for me, as I'm only buying the battle packs and the Battle of Saleucami for certain. I may buy Grievous' Wheel Bike, though whether I do or not depends entirely on the appearance of Grievous, as I'm sold on the Wheel Bike itself. *EDIT* This or my other post can be ignored, as both are more or less saying the same thing.

Brickdoctor Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Thanks for the link! Couple thoughts: Boo, no Boga in the Wheel Bike Battle on Saleucami looks like it's not a BP. Why the Royal Guards in a BP? One, maybe would be okay. Two is too many. I don't want to army build Royal Guards; I want to get what's written in the title: DS Troopers. Some of these look very very very preliminary, particularly the DS BP. I don't like the look of the Microfighters, and I hope that those are likewise very preliminary. Quote
lightningtiger Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Hmm... looking at the Chewbacca image closely.. does he have slightly taller legs? That would certainly be nice. Actually I think that's the leg printing that is giving you that impression. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Oh, I just noticed: The catalog mentions a February release. Maybe that's just the Great Vehicles portion, but that still seems like a big part of the System main release for the wave. Quote
Gubi0222 Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the pics. I love all of them , but where is the Utapau bp and the Tri-fighter ? The "microfighters" looks ugly, but i will buy the turbotank for the clone. I think the "Great vehicles" sounds good, and the new blasters are funny. I hope this "sring-loaded shooter" will be better than the flick fire. I don't like the barc speeders gun,but that set could be the best playset of this wave. My favorites are the V-Wing, tke Kashyyyk bp, and the AT-AP. Edited August 15, 2013 by Gubi0222 Quote
CM4Sci Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Look at what I found today! Damn, ninja'd. I really love the new guns! And the spring shooters. I will be getting all of the Microfighters! Their boxes remind me of the really old sets. Can anyone tell if that's a new headset piece on the Death Star guy Microfighter? Love the sets, though I'm not too keen on Grevious's Wheel Bike. -Sci Edited August 15, 2013 by CM4S Quote

Gremer Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I'll throw in my 2 cents. I'm not to keen on the new blasters. I'll probably just give the troopers regular ones. Kind of odd that they put a Neimoidian Warrior in the Vulture Droid, but I'm not complaining. The new battle packs look very nice, with a good selection of figs. Battle on Saleucami looks nice. I'm a big fan of the BARC Trooper. The Droid Gunship is meh, but I'll probably pick it up anyways. Quote
TWP Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 It looks like every set looks terrible, as always with preleminary images, I think the recruitment sets especially look horrible, but I fear it will be liked among little children. they do make nice parts packs for me I hope. I do certainly not like the minifig assortiment in these sets, there could be more and different. I might like the new blasters, I think I already know how they work, but after a cople of those I will begin to hate them just as much as flick-fires, no, even more! the spring loaded missles seam to be the replacement missles for the flick-fires, but they use more space, and they make the BARC speeder look very ugly! therefore: Quote
Obi-wan Kenobi Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I hate the new guns for the troopers,I prefer the old ones.The Kashyyyk battlepack has a fail for me,the swamp speeder needs to be bigger.Love the Saluecami Battle.That set will be mine.The jedi star fighter is also very well done.To sum up,I´ll buy certainly the Battle of saluecami and maybe the Kashyyk BP and the Interceptor,but I´ll change the new blasters.

just2good Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 OMG, those microfighters are freakin' adorable. I want them all! Quote
NovaSentinel Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 R2-D2, Obi-Wan and the Clone Pilot all have new prints according to those pica, but I can't see it tbh It does look like the Rebel Pilot has a new helmet, but then again, the imperial officer has a 3D earpiece, which would be impossible unless the kepi was new. So there must be another page with the 212th bp, AV-7, tri fighter and police gunship on Quote
just2good Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 R.I.P. Flick and fire missiles. We'll miss you. Quote
CM4Sci Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) I don't get why people think the flick fires are gone Look at the microfighters, they're all over them. And Grievous's Bike, and the battlepacks. -Sci Edited August 15, 2013 by CM4S Quote
just2good Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I don't get why people think the flick fires are gone Look at the microfighters, they're all over them. Well, they're not gone yet. Give it a year or two. They'll be obscured. Also, great vehicle Star Wars sets? Quote
frank_day Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Link doesn't work :( Thanks for CM4S ,he's uploaded the images here. Quote
eric729 Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) A few things... 1. We now know what that piece on the AT AP is 2. The battle on Saleucami doesn't seem like a battlepack 3. Paplatine must be in the tri fighter 4. Could the recruitment line possibly hint remakes? A new ISD in the future maybe? <------ CITIZENSHIP Edited August 15, 2013 by eric729 Quote
