darththeling Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) betaplayer, I didn't see a TIE striker in the trailer - however there is one (and only one) in the R1 beach poster that was also released last night. On far right. Wasn't planning to get a 75154 because I thought I would feel compelled to build a whole fleet of them. But if there is only one... that makes getting one a lot more tempting. It's size is so much longer than another TIE that it makes you wonder what it's used for? Surgical strikes? Edited October 13, 2016 by darththeling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benderisgreat Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) New Rogue One trailer kinda explained Skariff Bunker set. Jyn Erso in Ground Crew disguise, and Kassian ( strangely not in officer uniform). I'm dissapointed that we don't get another K2-SO , seems Lego wants to keep him exclusive to Krennic's Shuttle set( good thing I have this set). And after seeing Saw Gurerra full body shot we just have to get his minifigure at some point! Edited October 13, 2016 by benderisgreat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would make total sense. I always thought the inclusion of a single officer here was a little bit unusual, but Cassian in disguise would tie in with the disguised Jyn from the bunker set.

Sneakguest Posted October 14, 2016 Yes, but that was the bigger wave of TFA, plus then they didn't put her in the winter wave then instead. BTW I think that figure looks more like Saw Guerra, which would make more sense, they need more attractive mini figures in the winter wave, as I look at it, it's only the moroff that it the really attractive mini figure in those two R1 sets.

Bley Harvest Posted October 14, 2016 I was thinking about the new Rogue One character Moroff. In the leak photos he appears to be just a white Chewbacca torso. Do you think this is how we ended up with "Christmas" Chewbacca in the advent calendar this year? Perhaps there were some production efficiencies needed to justify casting that part in white plastic?

I don't think they'll use the Wookiee mould for Moroff due to his huge backpack There's no way you can attach something to that mould so it has to be a new one (maybe with a stud on the back, just like K-2SO) Edited October 14, 2016 by Lego-Freak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forresto Posted October 14, 2016 Oh no, I hope Moroff isnt molded with a massive backpack! i'm sure it would look cool but then we won't have a normal version of his species...ah well I guess that's how it must be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thing is he also seems to wear that mask thing as well, which may not be the norm for his species, so getting something that could also represent a normal version of his kind is somewhat unlikely anyway .

Brickr Posted October 14, 2016 Aaaah! Now I understand why the 2016 thread is so quiet!!! I with I had time to read through all 70 pages but I don't, I would be massively grateful to anyone who could clue me in the the salient points... have new sets been rumoured etc? Thanks in advance.

BrickBob Studpants Posted October 14, 2016 Wow, that Moroff minifig is top-notch He even got "toe"-printing! And looks like I may have been right about the stud on the back since the backpack is not shown on the pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKJoshA Posted October 14, 2016 Just a reminder, no one is stopping you from talking about pictures that may or may not be leaked. Just don't post the link here. I'd be bad if Eurobricks gets flagged as a url that leads to where the leaked pictures are found. That said, did you see the picture of Moroff's back? He clearly has space for a neck bracket to hold his backpack. It's nice that TLG didn't go full molded piece for him so he can be used in other contexts.

Jedi-Bendu Posted October 14, 2016 LEGO does it again like no-one else can (looking at you Lepin & co): a FANTASTIC minifig. I've said it before, I am not always happy with LEGO's choices, but they should give the people that have designed the RO sets/figs a raise....and please: let them design the Episode VIII sets as well!

Forresto Posted October 14, 2016 Gosh darn it I didnt want to buy the Y-Wing but that figure is gorgeous, perhaps one of the best alien designs TLG has ever made! If the other figures in the set are of this quality I will have no choice but to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right, there's clearly space for a neck bracket They even printed fur on his back in case you don't want to put on his backpack Speaking of which, I wonder how that'll be constructed given its size in the film If the other RO minifig accessories are anything to go by, it'll be very accurate to say the least Edited October 14, 2016 by Lego-Freak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RetroInferno Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Top notch fig, he's gonna look even better with his badass weaponry ( Long rifle mini-gun ) that's for sure! Edited October 14, 2016 by RetroInferno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathstroke77 Posted October 14, 2016 That is A LOT of set numbers. I hope we get a new TIE Defender in the Summer, I missed the old one and now it seems it's canon again I'd love to see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
