Yeah the price here, when translated (NOT currency converted) to US pricing, is 34.99, which is also expensive. Same price as Skiff. Forgot to proofread my apologies. Also I'm new to the whole microfighters, so is there usually a second wave in the year or normally only one wave a year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am actually more intrested in the new minifig possibilities, especially the Grand Admiral's combat gear at 00.53: white helmet and white breastplate with golden highlights it seems. But also new jump troopers (?), new Mandos, Mon Mothma, Dodonna, Yularen... Ah the possibilities are endless. Unfortunately Lego is not treating Rebels well, so we won't see many of those possibilities becoming real minifigs. If any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RetroInferno Posted January 4, 2017 I love that of all things the most up voted comment on the video is ''Nice, the tie Defender is cannon, I hope it becomes a Lego set''. Jesus Christ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChiefPie Posted January 4, 2017 Interesting that a lot of people don't know that Lego made a tie defender years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair to those who didn't know, that set was released in 2010. Not everyone had been collecting LEGO sets since 2010. With regards to the trailer., It's great to see more Death Troopers having more presence in the Star Wars universe and not just in Rogue One. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darththeling Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) My guess is that we won't be getting a TIE Defender anytime soon, since there is something coming from Lego's The Freemason Chronicles (source: blurry leaks) that looks a lot like a TIE defender, the Tracker I. Well, maybe it isn't a TIE but it sure looks like one. Or maybe a TIE Striker without the bottom wing. I'd certainly much prefer an updated TIE Bomber or Interceptor too myself, but whaddayagonnado? Anyone notice how much shorter the Republic Fighter Tank is going to be? I'm guestimating (blur factor maximum) but from the leaks it looks like it's about 18, maybe 20 studs long total. Set 7679 from 2008 was apparently 47.8 cm long, have no idea what that is in studs, but longer for sure. EDIT: Just found a pic of Lego's 8087 from 2010. http://brickset.com/sets/8087-1/TIE-Defender Not sure why but I can't stand the look of this ship. If they re-issue, it should be easy enough to MOD it into an Interceptor. Edited January 4, 2017 by darththeling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a comment on the picture CM4S said, "Here's me confirming it." From brickfan: There are various users on Eurobricks who have some information about the new UCS Millennium Falcon. Paperballpark mentions that it’ll have interchagable radar dishes, one round and one rectangular, so you can display it as it is shown in Episodes 4-6 or in Episode 7.http://www.thebrickfan.com/new-rumors-of-lego-star-wars-ucs-millennium-falcon-coming/ Where did Paperballpark write that? I don't find it... It seems to me he wrote that only TLG can confirm it...?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supersonic Posted January 4, 2017 18 hours ago, Forresto said: Is that it for Rogue One then? I would really love to have seen a few more sets and figures, at least to get more Imperials Rogue One seems to be doing really well in theaters (>1 billion box office is pretty much guaranteed), so the chances that more Rogue One sets will follow in the next years aren't terrible. We're still getting sets for Episodes 1-3 and TCW (Yoda's Starfighter), and Episode 7 is getting two more sets in the summer - so I'm somewhat hopeful that Rogue One will get some goodies in the future. And of course stuff like X-Wings and Star Destroyers always sells, no matter if it's officially a RO or an ANH set (see the new Y-Wing). And everything that appears both in Rogue One and Rebels (without spoiling anything) has decent chances as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Gareth Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Hasbro has corrected the rank insignia on their Grand Admiral Thrawn action figure. Perhaps, LEGO could follow suit prior to the North American set release, ala Kanan. Edited January 4, 2017 by Sir Gareth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To get our money Kids, the target audience for that set, wouldn't care much about inaccurate rank insignias. 5 minutes ago, Forresto said: Very good points.

I assumed that when the sets came out… after all RO is an anthology film and is part of the canon, not like some non-canonical book or non-permanent TV series.

Klaus-Dieter Posted January 4, 2017 Thank you all very much for the info! The Bounty Hunter set might indeed have potential! I wonder with which vehicle it'll come. Since we know now for sure that there won't be any other regular sold OT set in summer, I really hope for an System scale OT Exclusive - hopefully CC or RBR!
